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.
4. Modern physics: two hrs. lecture on modern applications and implications of physics.
5. Experiment 1: 4 hrs.
6. Experiment 2: 4 hrs.

Prerequisites for participating in the exam
None

Assessment and marking:
(a) Laboratory exercises evaluated continuously and with two written reports. Evaluated jointly with internal evaluation by the teacher. Pass/fail (weight 1 ECTS).
(b) A number of mandatory assignments which account for 1 ECTS of the total 5 ECTS of the course (pass/fail, internal examiner). These assignments are not part of the first year test.
(c) A 4 hour wirtten examination with internal evaluation according to the Danish 7-point marking scale (weight 3 ECTS).

Re-examination after 4th quarter.
The mode of exam at the re-examination may differ from the mode of exam at the ordinary exam.

Expected working hours
The teaching method is based on three phase model.
