Physics
A.Y. 2018/2019
Learning objectives
The course aims at introducing students to the basic topics of classic physics. Specifically it aims at presenting:
Mechanics
Physical variables and units of measurement - Significant digits - Scalars and vectors - Kinematics - Force, mass and reference systems: laws of dynamics - Work and Energy - Conservative systems: potential energy and conservation of energy - Periodic/oscillatory motions - Gravity (introduction to).
Thermodynamics
Temperature and macroscopic variables - Kinetic theory of gases - Heat, work and internal energy: first law of thermodynamics - Reversible transformations -Second law of thermodynamics: entropy and irreversible transformations.
Electromagnetism
Electric charge and Coulomb's law - Electric field - Electric potential - Electric current - Electric circuits - Magnetic field - Electromagnetic induction and Faraday's law. Electromagnetic waves (introduction to).
Finally, the course presents a very important application of physics: weather forecasting. This issue will be discussed only qualitatively.
