Course info

At the end of the course, students should be able to: 

1. identify and deduce the physical quantities and their units; 

2. differentiate between vectors and scalars; (2 Units C: LH 30) 

3. describe and evaluate motion of systems on the basis of the fundamental laws of mechanics; 

4. apply Newton’s laws to describe and solve simple problems of motion;

5. evaluate work, energy, velocity, momentum, acceleration, and torque of moving or rotating objects; 

6. explain and apply the principles of conservation of energy, linear and angular momentum; 

7. describe the laws governing motion under gravity; and 

8. explain motion under gravity and quantitatively determine behaviour of objects moving under gravity.
