Course content
1. Experimental and theoretical physics. Models and modelling in physics. Vector Calculus introduction: adding and subtraction of vectors. 2. Mass point (primary element) kinematics: reference-coordinate systems, displacement, speed, velocity, acceleration, straight-line, curvilinear and harmonic motions. 3. Kinematic quantities relations, graphs. 4. Mass point dynamics: laws of motion. Forces effects, work, energy, force impulse, momentum. 5. Rigid body (solid): forces and moments equilibrium, rotational motion, moment of momentum, inertia moment, energy. Sliding friction, rolling resistance, physical pendulum. 6. Matters deformation: elastic and plastic deformations, strain-stress diagram explanation. Loading of solids: tension, shear and torque. Hooke´s law, Young´s modulus, Poisson´s ratio. 7. Perfectly and imperfectly elastic impacts: force impulse, momentum, momentum moment, energy. 8. Liquids. Hydrostatics: Pascal´s law and Archimedean principle and hydrostatic paradox and their technical application. Hydrodynamics of ideal liquid, Bernoulli´s equation, hydrodynamics paradox.. 9. Ideal and real liquids. Movement of bodies in liquids. Aeromechanics, atmospheric pressure and pressure measurements. Technical application: compressors, vacuum pump, turbines, aviation. 10. Kinetic theory of gases, velocity distribution, root-mean-square speed of molecules. Pressure of gases. Ideal gas fundamental equation. 11. Electricity - Electrostatics, Electrical field strenght E, Electric current, Single electrical circuit, Ohm s law for elecrical circuit part. 12. Formation of the image, Plane mirror, Concave spherical mirror, Lenses, Dioptric power

Learning outcomes
Good knowledge of physics is the basic prerequisite for understanding and design of technical equipment. The aim of the course is to deepen and level up students' secondary school knowledge, to be able to study successfully technical subject. 1. Experimental and theoretical physics.
