Syllabus
Introduction - methodology of physics Classical mechanics - description of motion, dynamics of point mass, force, Newton´s laws, work and energy, typical examples of conservative and dissipative forces (gravitation, friction), rigid body - kinematics, force momentum, impulse theorems, center of mass, moment of inertia, rotation of a rigid body, continuum - stress, strain, elasticity, Hook´s law, mechanics of fluids - ideal liquid, hydrostatic pressure, continuity equation, Bernoulli equation, viscosity Waves - harmonic oscillator, vibration superposition, damping, waves, interference effects Thermics - temperature, heat, heat propagation, calorimetry, thermal conductivity
Annotation
Basic principles of classical mechanics, elasticity, static and dynamic behaviour of liquids, vibrations and waves, molecular physics and thermics. The course is scheduled for students of biochemistry of the Faculty of Science of Charles University.
