Course introduction
The course aims at giving the students knowledge of how basic physics works, an ability to set up and solve simple physical models and to perform and interpret simple experiments.
Expected learning outcome
After completing the course, a student will expectedly be able to
- identify the physical principles needed to solve specific problems
- apply the mathematical tools required for their solutions
- assess the quality of the results obtained
- perform and interpret simple measurements related to the course syllabus.
Subject overview
1. Fundamental mechanics: Newton's laws, conservation laws.
2. Applications: Hookes law, harmonic motion, resonance, gravitation and planetary orbits. Contact and frictional forces.
3. Waves: Wave length, frequency and energy of waves, light and sound waves. Doppler effect.
4. Modern physics: two hrs. lecture on modern applications and implications of physics.
5. Experiment 1: 4 hrs.
6. Experiment 2: 4 hrs.
