On successful completion of the module, students should be able to:

• use conservation of momentum to analyse simple collision problems
• describe and calculate the properties of systems undergoing simple harmonic motion
• define the centre of mass for a system of particles or an extended object, and use it to describe the motion of the system as a whole
• apply the concepts of angular velocity, moment of inertia and torque to solve problems involving rotational motion
• describe how the particle nature of light and the wave nature of matter manifest themselves
