Course detail

Physics

FSI-BFAcad. year: 2007/2008

It is an introductory classic physics course for bachelors, which is oriented to solving simple physical and technical tasks. The acquired knowledge creates the physical base of technical branches. Classical mechanics. Motion of a particle (velocity, acceleration). Work and energy.(conservative and non-conservative forces, potential). Dynamic of a rotating body. Oscillations, harmonic oscillator. Waves, travelling wave. Interference of waves. Thermodynamic. First and second law of thermodynamics. Electrostatic field, intensity and potential. Electric Current. Simple circuit.
