Eðli2DL05 Physics – Mechanics

In this course, there are four lessons per week. This is an introductory mechanics course, algebra-based, at a level comparable to Cutnell & Johnson’s textbook. Topics include kinematics of 1-dimensional motion; Newton’s laws with particular emphasis on understanding applications of Newton’s 2nd law of motion in systems that include static and kinetic friction, inclined planes and suchlike; work, energy and power; impulse and conservation of momentum, and basic hydrostatics, including Archimedes’ principle, Bernoulli’s law and Poiseuille’s equation.

The final grade is based on lab work and a student produced notebook, midterms and in-class performance (30% total) and a 2-hour final exam (70%).
