Week 1: Measurements, 1D Kinematics, and Vectors

September 16th & 18th, 2025

PHYS 1300 F25 Tutorial Week 1 Part 1, in which Jeff welcomed students to the first tutorial session and explained the program structure, including tutorials and quizzes, while introducing key concepts about kinematics and scalar versus vector quantities. He covered important topics like unit conversions in the International System of Units (SI) and demonstrated how to calculate displacement, distance, velocity, and speed using practical examples. The session concluded with lessons on solving kinematics problems using the kinematic equations and quadratic formulas, along with guidance on practice problems and difficulty levels.

PHYS 1300 F25 Tutorial Week 1 Part 2, in which Jeff covered 2D vector addition, vector components, and graphical analysis.
