Lesson 2 • Work Done by Forces

It defines work as a dot product of force and displacement, including variable forces. It establishes the energy transfer concept which is central to this chapter.

Lesson 3 • Power and Efficiency

It defines power as the rate of energy transfer and efficiency as useful output ratio. It applies these concepts to motors, engines, and human biomechanics.

Lesson 4 • Kinetic and Potential Energy

It derives expressions for kinetic energy and gravitational and elastic potential energy. It connects energy storage and release to mechanical system behaviour.

Lesson 1 • Elastic and Inelastic Collisions

It distinguishes collision types by kinetic energy conservation and solves each analytically. Students apply both momentum and energy equations simultaneously.

Lesson 2 • Linear Momentum and Impulse

It defines momentum as mass times velocity and impulse as the change in momentum. It connects force-time relationships to momentum change in collisions.

Lesson 3 • Centre of Mass and System Dynamics

It locates the centre of mass for discrete and continuous systems and tracks its motion. It bridges particle mechanics to rigid-body and rotational dynamics.

Lesson 1 • Angular Kinematics

It defines angular displacement, velocity, and acceleration and derives rotational kinematic equations. It mirrors the linear kinematics structure for smooth conceptual transfer.

Lesson 2 • Angular Momentum and Its Conservation

It defines angular momentum and applies its conservation to spinning and orbiting systems. It introduces gyroscopic effects and precession qualitatively.

Lesson 3 • Moment of Inertia and Newton's Second Law

It calculates moment of inertia for common shapes and applies the rotational form of Newton's second law. It connects mass distribution to rotational resistance.

Lesson 4 • Rotational Kinetic Energy and Rolling Motion

It adds rotational kinetic energy to energy conservation analysis and applies it to rolling objects. Students solve incline-rolling problems using combined energy methods.

Lesson 1 • Superposition and Interference

It applies the superposition principle to produce constructive and destructive interference patterns. It connects to standing waves, beats, and optical interference later.

Lesson 2 • Mechanical Wave Properties

It characterises transverse and longitudinal waves by wavelength, frequency, speed, and amplitude. It provides the vocabulary and equations for all wave phenomena.

Lesson 3 • Simple Harmonic Motion

It derives the equations of motion for mass-spring and pendulum systems undergoing SHM. It establishes the oscillation framework used in wave and optics chapters.

Lesson 4 • Sound Intensity and the Doppler Effect

It quantifies sound intensity in decibels and derives the Doppler frequency shift for moving sources. It applies these tools to acoustics, medical imaging, and radar.

Lesson 1 • Electric Potential and Capacitance

It defines electric potential energy and voltage, then analyses capacitor storage. It connects potential concepts to circuit analysis in the next section.

Lesson 2 • Electric Charge, Force, and Fields

It introduces charge quantisation, Coulomb's law, and the electric field concept. It builds the field framework which is extended to magnetism and induction later.

Lesson 3 • Electromagnetic Waves and the Spectrum

It derives EM wave properties from Maxwell's equations and surveys the electromagnetic spectrum. It prepares students for optics and modern physics chapters.

Lesson 4 • Magnetic Fields and Forces

It describes magnetic field sources, the Lorentz force, and motion of charges in fields. It connects to electromagnetic induction and motor operation.

Lesson 5 • Electromagnetic Induction and AC Circuits

It derives Faraday's and Lenz's laws and applies them to generators, transformers, and AC circuits. It introduces impedance and resonance in RLC circuits.
