Evaluation scale

0-5

Objective

The students understand the significance of the course areas of physics in practical applications and they can make and solve the magnitude equations related to the problems. In addition, they understand the significance of error analysis when they combine their laboratory measurements with the theory they have learned and when they prepare a report on their observations according to given instructions.

Content

SI unit system, magnitude calculation, motion with constant acceleration, vertical trajectory, differential motion, basics of dynamics, mechanical work, power and energy, efficiency, principle of energy, momentum and conservation of momentum, impulse and impulse law,direct centric collisions, rotary motion and gravitation.

Materials

Material made by the teacher.
Textbook: Knight, Randal D. Physics for Scientists and Engineers. Pearson International edition. 2nd edition.

Exam schedules

The date and method of the exam will be agreed with the student during the course.

Completion alternatives

The admission procedures are described in the degree rule and the study guide. The teacher of the course will give you more information on possible specific course practices.

Student workload

One credit corresponds to an average of 27 hours of work, which means that the load of five credits is approximately 135 hours. The load is distributed in different ways depending on the course implementation.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

Sufficient(1): Student has gained knowledge of the course objectives but faces challenges to apply them into practice.
Satisfactory(2): Student has gained knowledge of the course objectives and can apply them partly into practice.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

Good(3): Student has gained knowledge of the course objectives and can apply them into practice.
Very good (4): Student has attained a very good level of the course objectives and can apply them into practice.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Excellent(5): Student has attained an excellent level of the course objectives and can apply them into practice in an innovative manner.
