Objective

After completing the course, the student
• is able to apply the International System of Quantities and Units of Measurement in the interpretation and explanation of technical information.
• understand the basic concepts of kinematics and dynamics (speed, acceleration, force, friction).
• understands the basic techniques of drawing a free body diagrams and is able to apply free body diagrams and Newton's laws in problem solving in mechanics.
• is able to solve equations of quantities and apply vector calculus in problem solving in mechanics.
• understands the concepts of work, energy, power and efficiency and is able to analyze problems in mechanics with their help.
• is able to apply the work-energy principle in mechanics.
• is able to analyse collision situations using the concepts of momentum and impulse.
• understands the basic concepts of rotational motion and is able to apply these concepts to the analysis of kinematics of rotational motion
• understands the concepts of torque, moment of inertia and momentum and is able to apply the basic equation of rotational motion to their analysis.
