infoWhy this? Mechanics and Materials provides models for predicting motion, explaining interactions, and understanding how materials respond to forces. Applying conservation laws and analysing deformation connects fundamental physics with the behaviour of real objects and engineering systems.

scheduleWhy now? Building on familiar GCSE ideas about forces and energy allows us to develop more demanding vector, graphical, and algebraic methods in accessible contexts. These methods underpin later work on periodic motion, gas behaviour, fields, and engineering applications.
