Aim:
The course gives an orientation to the students about basic relations in classical mechanics. After the course the student should be able to - treat basic mechanical
- formulate, simplify and solve simple mechanical problems from different approaches, and verify its correctness through e.g. dimensional analysis
|
|
Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Linear Algebra, Calculus
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Supplementary courses:
Physics

|
Organisation:
The course is given in the form of lectures and seminars. The lectures cover the most important chapters and may include simple demonstrations of mechanical problems or solutions of problems. The seminars are aimed at problem-solving and worked examples.
|
|
Course contents:
Lectures and seminars treat:
- Kinematics (linear and plane movement)
- Relative motion (uniform relative translation and rotation, inertial forces)
- Dynamics of particles (Newton's laws, frictional forces, angular momentum, central forces)
- Work and energy (work, power, kinetic and potential energy, conservative and non-conservative forces)
- The dynamics of particle systems (motion of the center of mass, reduced mass, momentum and kinetic energy for systems of particles, laws of conservation, systems of variable mass)
- Dynamics of the rigid body(angular momentum and moment of inertia, the equation for rotation of a rigid body
- Newton's law of gravitation, orientation about and Kepler's laws
- Fluid mechanics (Pascal's and Archimedes' principles, the continuity equation, Bernoulli's principle)
- Oscillatory motion(simple harmonic motion, damped and forced oscillations, coupled oscillators, the mathematical and physical pendulums)
