What this subsection covers
Kinetic-potential exchange, total energy, speed-position relations, and phase-space interpretation.A strong response uses phase diagrams and states where the model stops being reliable.
Reasoning checklist
Evidence, assumptions and limits
Assumptions to state
State the system, observable, approximation, and conditions held fixed before using a model.
Evidence to collect

This GioPhysics course map is an adaptable teaching sequence, not a claim of accreditation or a universal university syllabus. Departments can adjust the order, mathematical depth, laboratory hours, and optional fluids endpoint to match local requirements. A result should be checked against units, signs, limiting cases, and the conditions under which its model was derived.
