7. Brief Importance of the Course and how it fits into the

curriculum
This course introduces students to involve in kinematics study how a physical system might
develop or alter over time and study the causes of those changes. In addition, Newton
established the fundamental physical laws which govern dynamics in physics. By studying
his system of mechanics, dynamics can be understood. In particular, kinematics is mostly
related to Newton's second law of motion. However, all three laws of motion are taken into
consideration, because these are interrelated in any given observation or experiment.
