Course detail

Physics

FSI-BFAcad. year: 2019/2020

It is an introductory course of classical physics for bachelors, which is oriented to solving simple physical and technical tasks. The acquired knowledge creates the physical basis of technical branches. The course covers: Motion of a particle (velocity, acceleration); Work and energy (conservative and non-conservative forces, potential); Dynamics of a rotating solid body; Vibrations, harmonic oscillator; Waves, travelling wave, interference of waves; Thermodynamics; Electrostatic field, electric current, simple circuit.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Review of units of physical quantities, manipulation with equations that contain physical quantities. Knowledge of definitions, laws and conditions of their validity in the areas specified in the curriculum.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of classic physics on a secondary school level. Fundamentals of linear algebra, vector calculus and analytic geometry. Differential and integral calculus of functions of one variable.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

In order to get a credit students must acquire at least 50% rating in both the seminars and the labs. The exam has written (possibly also oral) form and it tests the knowledge of physical quantities, laws and mainly their application in practise. The classification depends on acquired amount of points:
A: 90 - 100
B: 80 - 90)
C: 70 - 80)
D: 60 - 70)
E: 50 - 60)
F: 0 - 50)
