Phys1 Force and Motion (3 cr)

Evaluation scale

0-5

Objective

Purpose:
You will learn the basic concepts of kinematics and dynamics. You will also learn logical thinking and problem solving strategies.

EUR-ACE Competences:
Knowledge and understanding 

Learning outcomes:
After completing this course you are able to identify the basic principles of kinematics and dynamics.

Content

In this course, you will learn the basics of kinematics and dynamics, which are essential for understanding the fundamental phenomena of mechanics. You will develop logical thinking and problem-solving skills that are useful in many engineering fields. Upon completion of the course, you will recognise the basic principles of kinematics and dynamics and be able to apply them to solve practical problems. This course will give you a strong foundation for further studies in mechanics and practical applications.

SI-units, scalars, vectors, uniformly accelerated one dimensional motion, projectile motion, Newton's laws, mechanical forces, uniform circular motion, rotational motion, torque and moment of inertia.

Further information

Opintojakso arvioidaan kokeen ja laskuharjoituksista kerättävien pisteiden perusteella.

Arvioinnissa painotetaan kontaktiopetukseen osallistumista ja laskuharjoitusten suorittamista, mutta kurssin suorittaminen myös kokeella on mahdollista. Koe järjestetään pelkästään luokkatilassa. Etäkoemahdollisuutta tällä toteutuksella ei ole.

Osallistuminen kurssille tulee varmistaa osallistumalla ensimmäiselle oppitunnille tai ilmoittamalla osallistumisesta kurssin opettajalle 3.5.2024 mennessä.
