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
* Thermics and molecular physics
Temperature, heat, heat propagation, calorimetry, kinetic theory of heat, ideal gas, internal energy, thermodynamics laws, phase transformations, thermal conductivity
* Waves
Harmonic oscillator, vibration superposition, damping, waves, interference effects
Annotation
Basic principles of classical mechanics, molecular physics, elasticity, static and dynamic behaviour of liquids, vibrations and waves
The course is scheduled for students of the Faculty of Science of Charles University.
