Purpose and description of the content of education:
The module aims to familiarize students with selected phenomena and fundamental laws of physics, the knowledge of which is necessary to understand the processes occurring in the surrounding environment. During the lecture, students learn about explaining phenomena occurring in nature, obtaining information about energy transformations, and using physical laws to protect the environment. During the exercises, they can perform calculations and analyze simple issues raised during the lecture. They perform simple physical experiments in the laboratory and develop and interpret measurement results.
