A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Displacement, Speed, Velocity and acceleration in Cartesian and Polar co-ordinates

This topic covers how to describe motion using displacement, speed, velocity and acceleration, first in Cartesian coordinates and then in polar coordinates. For exams, you must master both the meanings of these quantities and the formulas for resolving them into components, because many questions test the difference between scalar and vector ideas and the relation between position, velocity and acceleration.
