- The aim of the general physics course is to provide students with the basic concepts required to understand physical phenomena. This aim is achieved when students are able to quantitatively predict the consequences of these phenomena using appropriate theoretical tools. (automatic translation)
Introduction and Kinematics: reference frames, trajectory, velocity, acceleration, Cartesian and cylindrical coordinates.
Dynamics of a material point: momentum, Newton’s laws, fundamental, empirical and constraint forces, oscillatory motion, angular momentum.
Work, power, energy: kinetic, potential and mechanical energy, conservation laws, gravitational motion, collisions.
Changes of reference frames: dynamics in non-inertial reference frames
Dynamics of systems: centre of mass, angular momentum, energy
Rigid body: angular momentum, moment of inertia, gyroscopic effects (automatic translation)
