Study of basic physical phenomena, mastering the fundamental concepts, laws and theories of classical and modern physics, as well as the means of physical research;
formation of a scientific outlook and modern physical thinking;
mastering methods and means of solving specific problems from various fields of science, in particular, mechanics, thermophysics, the ability to highlight specific physical content in applied tasks.
As a result of studying the PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICS, the student must
- to know: basic physical phenomena occurring in nature and matter; fundamental laws and theories of classical and modern physics; methods of solving specific physical problems; methods of physical research of phenomena and laws of nature.
- be able to: use physical laws to solve specific problems from various areas of physics; separate the specific physical content in the applied tasks of the future specialty.
The course is designed for students who have acquired a basic knowledge of a general course in physics, chemistry and higher mathematics.
Kinematics of translational and curvilinear motion. Dynamics of translational motion. Dynamics of rotational motion. Oscillations and Waves. Fluid Mechanics. Thermodynamics. The law of ideal gas. The kinetic molecular theory of gases. The First Law of Thermodynamics. Entropy. The second law of thermodynamics.
Coulomb's law. Electric field intensity. Motion of a charged particle in an electric field.
Magnetic Fields. Magnetism. Maxwell’s Equations.
The Relativity Theory.
Quantum Mechanics.
The final assessment will be based on the report by the students on a specific topic agreed with the instructor.
Lectures: theoretical materials and problem solutions. Traditional interacting methods.
Educational material will be available in the Moodle platform.
