- Educational objectives
- Gaining an understanding of the theoretical and experimental principles underpinning classical mechnics. Ability to apply the theoretical knowledge to solve simple problems on the dynamics of the point particle, a system of point particles and a rigid body.
- Prerequisites
- The student must be familiar with the basic principles of operations with vectors, trigonometry, differential and intergral calculus. These contents are included within those studeid during the courses of Geometria and Analisi Matermatica I.
- Teaching methods
- Face to face lessons, including both thoery and problem solving; homework will be also proposed to the students.
- Learning verification modality
- Written exam (2 hours) devoted to the solution of simple exercises + second written exam (1 hour) devoted to three general questions to be answered in open form.
- Extended program
- Experimental method. Scalars and vectors. Unit systems. Kinematics in one ans two dimensions. Oscillations. Dynamics, motion laws and their application. Energy and energy tranfer. Kinetic and potential energy. Conservative forces. Simple, damped and forced oscillator. Momentum and its conservation. Collisions. Center of mass and its propoerties. Rotational dynamics. Rigid body and its dynamics. Statics. Gravity. Motion and energy of planets and satellites. Introduction to the definition of temperature, heat and thermodynamics principles.
