Objective

Purpose:
During the course, you will learn the physic laws of conservation and the basics of oscillation. In addition, you will learn about physical measurements and the basics of error analysis. After the course, you will be able to apply this information to mathematics as a help in the study modules that you will later study in the degree program.

EUR-ACE Competences:
Knowledge and understanding 

Learning outcomes:
After completing this course, you will know the basic principles of work and energy in both linear motion and rotational motion.You will understand the laws of oscillation and, with your knowledge, understand the basic legalities and problems dealing with oscillation in your own profession.

Content

In this course, you will learn the fundamental conservation laws of physics and the basics of oscillatory motion, as well as the basics of physical measurements and error analysis. After the course, you will be able to apply this knowledge through mathematics in your future studies. You will understand the basic principles of work and energy in rectilinear and rotational motion and the laws of oscillation. This course will give you the skills to solve problems related to vibration in your field of work and to apply what you learn in practice.
