Classical mechanics applied to concrete cases (living and non-living)
Mathematical rigor, scientific reasoning and critical thinking
Mastering basic concepts in classical mechanics To be able to recognize the physical principles at play in applications related to the living and non-living
Introduction - Kinematics - Forces - Newton's 1st and 3rd law - Newton's second law - torque - momentum - work, energy and power - gas - thermodynamics - diffusion - capillarity and osmosis - fluid mechanics - uniform circular motion - harmonic motion - sound waves - ultrasound and Doppler Effect
An exam on the theoretical concepts is organized in session, corresponding to 65% of the total score.
TD Score: written examination corresponding to 20% of the total score.
TP score: continuous assessment, throughout the year (results obtained are final, there is no TP exam in session) corresponding to 15% of the total mark.
