1) Explain in your own words the 22 concepts shown in the concept map attached here. Try to explain a concept in one sentence if possible. Also, while explaining a concept, try not to bring-in another concept from mechanics. For example: “Mechanics: Mechanics is the domain of human knowledge that enables us to determine how a material object will move, i.e., determine its motion when it is acted on by motion-causing agents, namely, force and torque.” Yep, that was my very own, but it took me some time to come up with that. Thus, I am giving you ample time to work on this, and the due date is Dec 7, 2023.

Points allocated for this part is: 22 *0.15 = 3.3 pt

(2) Explain in a few sentences how an idea learnt in the course fascinated or intrigued you. The idea does not have to be one of those 22 broad concepts from the concept map, rather it should be something more specific. For example, you may say that the understanding of how air bag reduces impulse during a crash was something that you found very interesting. Or the observation that nature works mathematically. Or ‘time’ is not something that we can touch or feel yet we can measure it (i.e., the whole idea of measurement). In other words, in this part, you will share some insight that you developed during the course. — 0.7 pt
