PHYSICS
The Physics course is deliberately limited to what has been studied in high school texts and the topics discussed do not require any particular prerequisites.
The main objective is to acquire the basic principles of Classical Physics and their application for solving simple problems. The course is divided into the following topics:Basic notions of the concept of physical
Mechanics of rigid bodies
Phisics of skeleton
Fluid Mechanics
Thermology
Electrical phenomena and magnetism
Wave phenomena
Basic notions of the Physical quantities and units of measurement systems
Scalar and vector quantities
Elements of vector calculus
Measurement errors
Mechanics of rigid bodies
Motion of a material point
Average and instantaneous speed and acceleration in rectilinear and circular motion
Force; laws of dynamics
Acceleration of gravity, mass, weight and density
