Objective

After completing the course the student:
- Understands the fundamentals ofnatural scienceas a base of technological applications.
- Understands the basic theories of the modern physical world in order for him/her to be able to apply this knowledge in his/her future field of expertise.

Content

Topics covered in course are (in the order shown):
• uniform motion
• uniform acceleration
• gravitational acceleration
• motion in two and three dimensions
• force and momentum
• law of momentum concervation
• force and acceleration
• action and reaction
• gravitational force
• normal forces
• frictional forces
• transmission of force by ropes and chains
• kinetic energy
• potential energy
• work-energy principle
• springs
• power
• power and drag forces in uniform motion
• power in uniformly accelerating motion
• impulse
• inelastic collisions
• rotational motion
• g-forces

Teaching methods

Course consist of lectures and independent calculation exercises, and also of guided calculation exercises as time permitting. There are two long classroom sessions, consisting of lectures and guided calculation exercises. Other lectures are one-hour Teams sessions.

Student workload

Course is worth 5 credits. This means that the estimated workload is 5 * 27 h = 135 h.
