GRANDO DANIELA (titolare) - 9 ECTS

Elementary algebra, Euclidean and analytical geometry, trigonometry, derivatives and integrals. It is well recommended to take 'Fisica I' after ‘Geometry and Algebra’ and ‘Mathematical Analysis I’. Students with a curricular debt in Maths must first pass these two exams before attempting Fisica I.

This course provides grounding in classical physics, spanning from kinematics, dynamics, fluid dynamics and thermodynamics. The students are expected to achieve a better understanding of theories and concepts through practical classes. Beside developing problem solving ability, practical classes are of fundamental importance for mastering the acquired knowledge and discovering its links to everyday life.

The course covers a range of topics in classical mechanics and thermodynamics. Topics are introduced by following a logic and analytical framework. Sessions of exercises are proposed for every topic.

Mechanics

Physical quantities; international system of units for mass, time and length.
Vectors, vector addition, scalar and vector product
Kinematics: position and displacement vector, velocity and acceleration vectors, the inverse problem of kinematics; rotational motion, angular velocity and acceleration, normal and tangential acceleration; relative motion.
Definition of force; inertial reference systems and Newton’s laws; weight, elastic force, contact force and friction; inertial forces.
Work of a force and kinetic energy; power due to a force; work-energy equation; conservative forces; potential energy; mechanical energy; principle of conservation of mechanical energy.
Impulse of a force; momentum; the impulse-momentum equation; moment of momentum or angular momentum; moment of force or torque; moment of force-moment of momentum equation; central forces.
Systems of particles; internal and external forces; center of mass; Newton’s second law for a system of particles; conservation of momentum and of moment of momentum; plastic and elastc collisions.

Elements of statics.
Vibrations; kinematics of oscillatory motion; spring-mass harmonic oscillator, mathematical, physical and torque pendulum; damped vibrations; forced vibrations and resonance.

Fluid Dynamics
