Description Physics Foundation Diploma  We live in the century of science and technology, and the introduction of science has transformed our lives. Even when we had no idea about science, our lives were governed by the principles of science and its various branches. Physics governs our everyday lives and is involved in everything we do. Physics is often considered an immersive yet challenging subject. It is among the most fundamental scientific disciplines. This branch of science deals with the nature of matter and energy and its various applications. In our Physics Foundation Diploma course, you will explore the fundamental aspects of physics in a very interactive format. This program will help you understand the nature and scope of the subject. In addition to having a basic understanding of the subject, you will be introduced to topics such as Motion, Vectors, Speed and Acceleration, Circular motion, Force, Friction and Gravity, Work, Impulse and Momentum, Simple Harmonic Motion, and the concept of relativity. This Physics Foundation Diploma course is very beneficial for students studying in high schools, colleges and universities, having physics as a subject. This program will ensure that you know the basics before you go deep into the subject. Physics shares a fundamental understanding of how the world around us works, everything from the natural to the technological devices we depend on daily. It helps us contemplate profoundly and think critically to satisfy our curious minds. We, as humans, have the natural tendency to look through things. We never see things for what it is. We saw volcanos, rains, waves, or cyclones, we did not take them for what we just saw, but we looked into them. This curiosity is what makes us who we are. Being one of the fundamental branches of science, physics opens a door in front of us, a door to see the world for what it is. This physics foundation diploma course will open your eyes and, in turn, opportunities for you, irrespective of your field and academic background. What you will learn    1: Understanding Physics   2: Vectors   3: Speed and Acceleration   4: Circular Motion   5: Force   6: Friction and Gravity   7: Work   8: Impulse and Momentum   9: Simple Harmonic Motion   10: Wonders of Relativity  Course Outcomes After completing the course, you will receive a diploma certificate and an academic transcript from Elearn college. Assessment Each unit concludes with a multiple-choice examination. This exercise will help you recall the major aspects covered in the unit and help you ensure that you have not missed anything important in the unit. The results are readily available, which will help you see your mistakes and look at the topic once again. If the result is satisfactory, it is a green light for you to proceed to the next chapter. Accreditation Elearn College is a registered Ed-tech company under the UK Register of Learning( Ref No:10062668). After completing a course, you will be able to download the certificate and the transcript of the course from the website. For the learners who require a hard copy of the certificate and transcript, we will post it for them for an additional charge.
