AbstractIntroduction to the concepts and tools in physics with the help of demonstration experiments: mechanics of point-like and ridged bodies, periodic motion and mechanical waves.
ObjectiveThe concepts and tools in physics, as well as the methods of an experimental science are taught. The student should learn to identify, communicate and solve physical problems in his/her own field of science.
ContentMechanics (motion, Newton's laws, work and energy, conservation of momentum, rotation, gravitation, fluids)
Periodic Motion and Waves (periodic motion, mechanical waves, acoustics).
Lecture notesThe lecture follows the book "Physics" by Paul A. Tipler.
LiteraturePaul A. Tipler and Gene P. Mosca, Physics (for Scientists and Engineers), W. H. Freeman and Company
