Aim:
The course aims to provide knowledge of the basic relationships in classical mechanics, as well as provide an introduction to experimental problem solving. After completing the course the student should be able to:
- treat basic mechanical problems using laws of force and motion, kinetic energy and work and momentum equations and describe motion in both cartesian and polar coordinates in the plane
- formulate, simplify and solve simple mechanical problems from different approaches.
- apply physics modeling and experimental problem solving
- use dimensional analysis in order to formulate a mathematical description of a physical phenomenon.
- present measurements, results and conclusions in a written report

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Calculus, Linear algebra
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.
|
|
Organisation:
The seminars are treating principally important sectors and may contain simple demonstrations of mechanical course of events or the solution of typical examples.
|
|
Course contents:
Kinematics (linear and plane movement of particles), relative motion (uniform relative translation and rotation), Dynamics of particles (The law of inertia, mass, momentum, Newton's second and third laws, the concept of force, frictional forces, angular momentum, central forces), work and energy (work, effect, kinetical and potential energy, conservative forces, potential energy curves) the dynamic of particle systems (motion of the center of mass, momentum and kinetical energy for a system of particles, laws of conservation), dynamic of the rigid body(angular momentum and moment of inertia, the equation for rotation of a rigid body), oscillatory motion(simple harmonic motion, the mathematical- and physical pendulum).
