Description:
The Physics 1 module shall enable students learning the basic laws of nature of Newtonian mechanics, electricity and magnetism, and certain elements of thermodynamics. Students shall: i) master the recording of physics laws in the form of vector, differential and/or integral equations, ii) master definitions of basic physical quantities with particular focus on quantities describing the material properties, iii) master the dimensional analysis of physical equations, iv) master the analysis of electrical circuits taking into account material problems, v) learn to perform simple physical experiments, analyse the obtained results and process them in the form of a report.
Prerequisites:
The knowledge of mathematics at the level of maturity examination, expanded by elements of vector, differential and integral calculus, is required.
