Physics Modeling in Excel: Laws of Motion, Work, Energy, and Circular Motion

Solving complex physics problems by hand can often obscure the underlying relationships between variables. This text-based course bridges the gap between theoretical mechanics and practical computation by teaching you how to model Newton's Laws of Motion, Work-Energy-Power (WEP), and Circular Motion directly inside Excel. You will transform abstract equations into dynamic spreadsheet models that calculate forces, energy transitions, and rotational dynamics automatically. By building these computational tools, you will develop a much deeper, intuitive grasp of core physics concepts. What you'll learn: Understand the foundational principles of forces, work, energy, and rotational mechanics through structured text explanations; Build interactive Excel spreadsheets to calculate projectile trajectories, friction coefficients, and tension; Model energy conservation and power consumption using dynamic formulas and Excel functions; Simulate circular motion scenarios, calculating centripetal acceleration and banking angles; Utilize modern Excel features like dynamic arrays and logical formulas to construct flexible problem-solving templates. The course begins with a clear breakdown of foundational physics definitions and Excel basics, before guiding you step-by-step through constructing practical, reusable physics calculators. This course is designed for beginners, high school physics students, and engineering aspirants looking for a unique, computational way to master mechanics without needing complex programming skills.
