Become a Kinematics (1D) Master (Udemy.com)
Calculus based physics [No prior knowledge of calculus needed]
Created by: Mahesh Shenoy
Last updated July 2022
What you will learn
- Test your understanding of everything listed below using Udemy quizzes and Assignment features (to truly master the concepts)
- 1. Explain what 1D motion is
- 2. Differentiate between distance & displacement, speed & velocity using very simple words
- 3. Calculate average values of speed and velocity (for particles moving in straight line) without having to memorise formulae
- 4. Differentiate, clearly, between average velocity and instantaneous velocity (Usually a topic of confusion)
- 5. Explain clearly what acceleration means (you will be able to explain why top speed isn't the only thing that matters in sports cars)
- 6. Calculate acceleration when velocities are changing without having to memorise formulae6.
- 7. Differentiate between uniform and non - uniform motion
- 8. Draw x-t, v-t and a-t graphs for various uniform and non-uniform motion. (Graphs will no longer look abstract)

Course Description
This course is all about Kinematics in 1D, the physics of moving things along a straight line. Kinematics is always the first topic you would have to master in order to understand the laws of the universe. Everything in the universe is moving, so kinematics is the most fundamental thing you will need to know to do any kind of physics.
I expect no prior knowledge of physics, in order for you to take this course. The only pre requisites are little bit of math (mentioned in the course basics). Although kinematics needs calculus, I will be teaching everything calculus that we will be needed to tackle various scenarios. So don't worry about calculus :)
The course is structured as follows
Concept videos, Practice problem videos, Extra information (Which is not mandatory but helps you get more insight and get more out of the course :))
For every concept, I have included trivial and challenging quizzes to make sure, you can check your understanding and review any material if needed.
There are assignment questions which test your application abilities and how you are able to connect various topics together.
At the end you have practice test, with timings and scores. This makes you self evaluate your learning and understand how much you have gained from the entire course.
So what are you waiting for, enrol and let's get.. wait for it... moving! (sorry for that, my jokes get better)

Mahesh Shenoy
Hello there, I am Mahesh Shenoy, but you can call me Mashy
I am basically an electronics engineer, but I shifted branches from applied electronics to pure science - namely physics about 4 years ago. My passion for physics grew watching the famous Walter Lewin lectures on youtube, and I always had a thing for teaching. As a student I know exactly what makes lectures boring, and uninteresting. I have dedicated past few years to master physics and teaching. I would say I am quite pleased with where I stand
Whether you will be able to master concepts of physics, is something that only you can decide. I can promise you, if you hear me out, I ll make you love physics. I ll make you see physics in your everyday world, and your life will never remain the same!

this course increased my understanding to such a high level that i will be able to understand and solve physics problems very fast and thank you MAHESH SIR for such a wonderful course
By James Rayburn on 1/7/2020
I work as a control systems engineer, so this is a refresher for me. I try and learn/relearn all the time. This is the best physics class I've EVER taken! The instructor is absolutely awesome.

So far very engaging material.
By Muskaan Mangat on 12/10/2018
I think making a decision to buy this course was 100% right since I had great fun learning kinematics which I feared the most !!! thanks a lot to Mahesh Shenoy sir for being such a wonderful instructor. had a great experience learning from him

instructor covered the course in great detail. sometimes he spoke a little too fast to understand, but was still intelligible. overall, he covered the material extremely well. i look forward to him extending his courses to other levels of physics, which i believe, students will openly accept. thanks for the great instructional videos. keep up the good work!

Soy estudiante hispanohablante, primero que nada quiero mencionar que estudio Ingeniería Mecánica y este curso en lo que llevo me esta sirviendo mucho para aprender más a cerca de este tema Cinemática que es una materia muy importante en mi carrera. Quiero agradecerle por tomarse el tiempo de hacer este curso y explicarlo muy bien y sobre todo gracias por compartir su conocimiento con los demás.
By Anonymized User on 4/3/2018
Very well done! I had almost no understanding of physics related to kinematics before starting this course. Well it was taught to me at school, 9th of course but never really understood im surprised how i passed 9th physics xD. Thanks alot sir!
By Marc Monty on 9/20/2017
Love the video! First of great graphics. Really appropriate for the material being taught. And also the tutor is extremely enthusiastic and delivers the material in a very understandable form. Keep up the good work!
By Ashish Mohanty on 9/18/2017
The course uses visuals and chalk talk very well to make subtle intuition of core ideas no matter how fundamental or easy they look like.
By Chaitra Amin on 9/14/2017
I think this is the best physics course in Udemy. The instructor is quite engaging, the course quality looks professional, I am hooked. Thanks for the course sir :)
