• Newton’s laws of motion
• forces
• calculations
• centre of mass and stability
• levers
• technology in biomechanics

This will be followed up by a recorded 1-hour Q+A webinar on Wednesday September 17 at 8 pm.

Part two – a half day webinar on Friday 21st November. The focus will be on the second part of component 1.3 Biomechanics. Specific topic coverage will include:

• linear motion
• angular motion
• fluid mechanics
• projectiles
• Bernoulli’s principle
