What will I learn?
This course provides a practical guide to understanding inertia through Newton’s First Law, friction calculations, and free-body diagrams for common scenarios. Participants will estimate forces, deceleration, and stopping distances while managing uncertainties and selecting appropriate values. Additionally, you will develop skills in technical writing, structured reporting, and clear reflections to confidently present detailed calculations.
