Getting introduced to basic concepts and principles of mechanics as part of physics and fundamental technical discipline. Mastering basic methods of analysis and technical problem solving

Students use gained knowledge as a conceptual base in other technical disciplines

Units of measurement, physical measurement, and vectors. Rectilinear motion of a particle. Curvilinear motion of a particle. Newton`s law of motion. Application of Newton`s laws. Work and kinetic energy. Potential energy and conservation of energy. Momentum, Impulse and Collision. Rotational motion of rigid bodies. Rotational dynamics. Equilibrium and elasticity. Gravitation. Oscillatory movement. Computer simulation of dynamic systems

Lectures include theoretical basis related to the teaching units and illustrated examples. Based on the lectured matter, methods of analysis and specific problem solving are being developed in the practice classes and applied on selected examples.
