Summary
The goal of this subject is to obtain general overview about basic physical
laws for the bachelor study at the technical university. It deals with
mechanics, thermodynamics of perfect gases, physical fields,
particularly gravitational field a electrostatic field, basis of optics.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Description of the basic physical phenomena, basic physical laws of general physics, applications of the physics laws in technique, solving of simple mathematical problems, especially problems suitable for the automotive industry.
