Objectives of the Course

Objective of this course is to introduce laws of motion and to apply them to various situations, and to establish a relationship between the force, work and energy while emphasizing universality of these concepts.

Course Content

Vectors, Describing motion, Laws of motion and its applications, Work and energy, Conservation of Energy and Momentum, Rotational, Vibrational Motion and Waves. Laws of motions and fluid mechanics and thermodynamics.

Learning Outcomes
1.Students show that the concepts in physics are related to experiments and that the laws of the universe can be understood with simple concepts such as force, work and energy.
2.Students describe the movements in one and two dimensions with the concept of vector and show the differences and relationships between different movements.
3.Students explain the interactions between moving particles with the concept of momentum and list the reasons for conservation of momentum.
4.Students apply the Newton's equations to fluids.
5.Students associate the heat and temperature with energy and movement.
