Physical Principles of Mechanics

Description: The course consists of sections devoted to the modern presentation of the basics of classical mechanics - kinematics, dynamics of a material point and a solid body. The presentation of this section is the development and deepening of the relevant section of the high school physics course. The mathematical apparatus of vector algebra and differential calculus is used. The kinematic and dynamic characteristics of motion, their mutual relations are considered.

Goal

• The development of a natural science worldview, the creation of a fundamental basis for further study of general technical and special disciplines and for successful subsequent professional activity.

Objective

• study of basic physical phenomena, mastering fundamental concepts, laws and theories of classical and modern physics, as well as methods of physical research; - mastering techniques and methods for solving specific problems from various fields of physics as the basis for the ability to solve professional problems in the chosen field; - familiarization with modern scientific equipment, the formation of skills for conducting physical experiments, the ability to identify specific physical content in the applied tasks of future activities-to know the relationship of physics with other sciences and its role in solving scientific and technical problems of the specialty

Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding

• basic physical phenomena and laws of classical and modern physics, methods of physical research; have the skills of conducting a physical experiment, working with measuring devices, calculating and processing the obtained data; understand the limits of applicability of various physical concepts, laws, and theories.

Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding

• Use the basic concepts, laws and models of physics in their professional activities; be able to use new physical principles in their professional activities.

Learning outcome: formation of judgments

• to understand the modern understanding of the physical picture of the surrounding world and the state of scientific and technological progress; to use the knowledge of physical laws and phenomena for a competent judgment of man-made processes occurring in nature and society.

Learning outcome: communicative abilities

• the ability to work in a team, the ability to navigate the flow of new scientific and technical information, to master new advanced technologies and participate in their creation, to be ready for geographical and social mobility in the face of increasing dynamism of change and uncertainty.

Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities

• have the skills of conducting a physical experiment, working with measuring devices, calculating and processing the data obtained; find individual ways of self-education in the future.

Teaching methods

1. Lecture-seminar-credit system 2. Research methods 3. Information and communication technologies

Assessment of the student's knowledge

Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.

The evaluating policy of learning outcomes by work type

Evaluation form

The student's final grade in the course is calculated on a 100 point grading scale, it includes:

• 40% of the examination result;
• 60% of current control result.

The final grade is calculated by the formula:

 

Where Midterm 1, Midterm 2are digital equivalents of the grades of Midterm 1 and 2;

E is a digital equivalent of the exam grade.

Final alphabetical grade and its equivalent in points:

The letter grading system for students' academic achievements, corresponding to the numerical equivalent on a four-point scale:
