- Educational objectives
- Provide the student with basic information on the main topics of classical physics with particular reference to the 'physical meaning'. Students will have to acquire the ability of logical reasoning and critical analysis of what they will face in subsequent courses and in everyday life. They will have to be able to ask themselves the correct questions in order to deal with unexpected situations and to avoid running into gross errors from a logical-practical point of view. Solving exercises and basic physics problems.
- Prerequisites
- Mathematics: Algebra, Trigonometry (essential);
- Teaching methods
- Face-to-face lectures,
Practical training,
Seminars.
Laboratory experiments - Learning verification modality
- Laboratory Reports. One written test and oral exam at the end of the course. Written test: duration: two hours, to be made at the end of the course. type: it consists in performing three physical exercises, at each exercise is assigned a score that contributes to the final mark. objectives: it aims to ensure the ability to use the fundamental concepts and the applications of them to physical systems and solving problems. oral examination duration: up to 1 hour. type: it consists primarily in the discussion of the written test, with the request to depth of its theory. objectives: evaluate the level of knowledge and mastery of basic concepts and application to problems in Physics.
- Extended program
- Topics of the Lectures: Course Presentation. Physical Quantities and International System of Units. Kinematics: Motion in one dimension. Position vector, velocity and acceleration. One-dimensional kinematics. Motion in two and three dimensions. Dynamics of the point: The various forces in nature. Newton's laws. Work, energy, moments. Dynamics of systems of points. Dynamics of the revolving body. Central collisions Gravity Mechanical waves Elements of thermodynamics The laboratory lessons are intended to accompany students in solving problems and exercises and in the observation and implementation of simple experiments in basic physics with particular reference to the field of study.
