Applied - Probability and Forces and motion
infoWhy this? Probability provides the formal rules for reasoning about randomness, risk and uncertainty. Forces and motion explains how forces cause or prevent changes in motion, connecting abstract equations to physical interaction.
scheduleWhy now? This is a natural point to introduce and build on probability knowledge, giving theoretical depth to statistical ideas students have already met informally. After students can describe motion kinematically, they are ready to explain that motion dynamically with Newton’s laws.
