Physics Supplementary CourseLaajuus (3 cr)

Objectives

The students learn the physical analysis of phenomena, the application of fundamental theories to the behaviour of static and moving objects and become familiar with quantities and units. The students learn to analyze phenomena related to mechanics of rigid bodies and fluids. The students learn to use the laws of physics to describe real motion in a simplified way and form the equations describing the motion and solve these equations.

Content

SI-system, modelling of motion along a straight line, force, Newton’s laws, work, power and energy, circular motion, fluid mechanics

Prerequisites

None.
