Summary
The course is designed as a subject of theoretical basis of technical bachelor's study. Students will deepen their knowledge of mechanics, oscillations, waves and fluid mechanics so that they can use the acquired knowledge for a deeper understanding of the curriculum, which is the content of professional subjects. The Physics I course uses differential and integral calculus of functions of one variable and vector algebra. The aim of the course is to supplement the knowledge of classical physics for the further development of physical knowledge needed in the master's study.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Collect the basic principles and laws of the chosen part of the classical physics.
Describe, clarify and interpret the particular natural phenomena.
Apply the simple mathematical methods for describing of the physical phenomena.
Illustrate obtained knowledge in the frame of the easy applications.
Course Contents
1. Physical quantities - size and unit. Scalars and vectors. Sum and difference of vectors. Product of vector and real number. Vector coordinates. Scalar and vector product of vectors. Physical applications. The concept of "instantaneous values ​​of a physical quantity" and the resulting necessity of a mathematical operation of derivation, the physical and geometric meaning of derivation, the basic derivation. Concept of primitive function, indefinite integral, basic integrals, definite integral. Physical applications.
2. Kinematics - sliding motion (uniform, uniformly accelerated and decelerated). Trajectory, trajectory, speed, acceleration.
3. Kinematics - rotary motion (uniform, uniformly accelerated and decelerated). Trajectories, angular quantities, centrifugal and centrifugal acceleration in curved parts of the trajectory.
4. Dynamics - Newton's laws of motion, equation of motion of successive motion.
5. Impulse of force, momentum, work, power and efficiency. Kinetic and potential energy. Movement of bodies in the environment, in normal conditions - with friction, in a opposing environment. The character of bodies.
6. Movement of a body on an inclined plane and inertial forces.
7. Gravitational field - intensity and potential of the gravitational field, gravitational and gravitational field of the Earth, free fall, vertical, horizontal and oblique throw.
8. Mechanics of bodies - the term "center of gravity", the moment of inertia of bodies, Steiner's theorem.
9. Mechanics of bodies - equation of motion of rotational motion, work, power and energy in sliding and rotational motion.
10. Mechanical vibration - undamped and damped oscillations. Forced oscillations. Resonance. Equations of motion. Energy of oscillating motion. Folding oscillations.
11. Mechanical waves - the progress of oscillations through a series of points with mutual force bonds. Classification of waves, formation of gradual waves, transverse and longitudinal waves. Wave propagation in space, Huygens-Fresnell principle. Equation for deviation (dependence on time and position in space). Wave interference, standing waves.
12. Pendulums - physical, mathematical and torsional pendulum, description and quantities of oscillating motion (equilibrium position, gate points, oscillation, oscillation, period, frequency…).
13. Hydrostatics - properties of liquids, hydrostatic pressure, buoyancy. Surface tension, capillary phenomena. Hydrodynamics - continuity equation, Bernoulli's equation. Outflow of fluid through the hole - transformation of static energy into kinetic energy.
