Supplementary Physics (Course)

The students are able to

• describe the fundamental laws of mechanics and electricity and apply them to simple examples.
• formulate simple problems in mechanics and electricity in mathematical terms and solve for the desired quantity using algebraic and numerical methods.
• create qualitative correct graphical representations of dependencies (e.g., position-time diagram, velocity-time diagram) or correctly interpret given diagrams.

Physics is the foundation of most technical and engineering sciences. In this module – using mechanics as an example – the most important fundamental concepts in physics are taught, along with a structured approach to solving problems (not limited to physics).

Content:

• Modeling, physical processes of gaining knowledge
• Introduction to mechanics: kinematics, dynamics of a point mass, Newton’s axioms, energy, power
• Electricity: basic electrical quantities, direct current, simple circuits, measuring instruments
