Learning outcomes: |
Effect_01 Students (Ss) will understand the idea of the physical quantity and processes. Identify measurement and theory as a basic source of the quantities value. Ss will operate on units and dimensions; be able to asses uncertainties, precission and accuracy of magnitudes. They will distinguish between scalar and vector properties. Effect_02 Ss will be aware the role of mathematics in describing and interpreting physical phenomena. Ss will be able to use and derive appropriate equations and transform them accordingly by means of algebra, calculus and trigonometry (intermediate level). They will know the techniques of producing figures and be ready to discuss information presented in graphical form. Effect_03 Ss will know be able to define the crucial quantities of kinematics, statics and dynamics, e.g.:displacement, velocity, speed, acceleration (both average and instantaneous), force, mechanical energies, momenta, torques, angular velocity, etc. They will know the idea of reference frame, relative motion and velocities. Ss will state, explain and apply laws of dynamics, principles of conservation of energy and momenta as well as Newton's law of universal gravity. They will recognize typical kinds of motion (in one and twodimensions), types of forces and energies; be able to determine their evolution in time and predict results of their influence. Effect_04 Ss will acquire knowledge about the hydrostatic and hydrodynamic properties of liquids and fluids and relevant quantities or processes: buoyancy, pressure, viscosity, streamline, laminar and turbulent flow. They will understand and be prepared to use the laws of Pascal, Archimedes, Torricelli and Bernoulli and related equations. Effect_05 Ss should define and describe different types of oscillatory and wave motion (simple harmonic oscillators, transverse and longitudinal waves). They will also know related parameters: period, frequency, wavelength, amplitude, phase… characterizing the phenomena and could describe them in terms of mathematical representation. Ss will also comprehend the nature of sound waves and their specific behavior: Doppler effect, shock waves, resonance. Effect_06 Ss will be able to discuss basics of thermo-dynamics, i.e. the quantities used in this field: heat, temperature, entropy, internal energy, specific and latent heat. They will also know the explanation of the thermodynamic properties on the grounds of the microscopic theoretical approach: i.e. kinetic model of ideal gases. Fundamental principles of the 1st and 2nd law of thermodynamics will be also comprehended. Effect_07 Ss will be able to indicate examples of practical application of the physics they have learnt in engineering, medicine, art, etc. |
