Essential Physics part 2 - Force, Motion, Energy & Astronomy consists of 25 multimedia rich lessons, narrated in clear, concise English and supported by vivid graphics and animations. Essential Physics Part 2 begins by introducing you to the concepts of velocity & acceleration and then moves on to teach you the fundamental concepts of Force, Work and Energy which underlie and explain most of the physical events which take place around us on Planet Earth, such as why objects fall to the ground, how vehicles are made to move and brought to rest, how tools and machinery make work easier for us, and so on. Finally, you will learn the basics Astronomy, beginning with a brief examination of the Earth's position in the Universe, a voyage through the Solar System, and concluding with a fascinating insight into the birth and death of stars. Familiarity with the concepts taught in Essential Physics Part 2 will not only help you prepare for the GCSE Physics examination, and for further study leading to careers in the field of science and engineering, but will also help you to understand what is going on around you in your everyday life.
