Learning activities and teaching methods
Lecture with visual aids
  • Contact hours - 26 hours per semester
  • Preparation for formative assessments (2-20) - 18 hours per semester
  • Undergraduate study programme term essay (20-40) - 12 hours per semester
prerequisite
Knowledge
Knowledge of basic relationships in classical mechanics of mass points. Knowledge of physical units and mathematical apparatus.
learning outcomes
The students will have active knowledge of mechanics of mass points systems and solid bodies. They are able to apply the laws on processes in the nature and technology.
Skills
The student understands the structure of classical mechanics based on the degree of generality of the model (mass point - rigid body - continuum) and can explain it even to a layman. Understands the analogy between rotational and translational motion and reflects his level of understanding on more complex and counterintuitive topics related to the rotation of a rigid body.
