The aim of the course:
This course enables the student to link natural phenomena with mechanical laws.Introduces mathematical models corresponding to the motion patterns of microscopic objects.Newton gives the ability to create and solve motion equations using mechanics.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : constitute and solve analytical expressions that describe the motion of macroscopic objects by using classical physics laws, 1,21,
LO - 2 : describe the planar and spatial movements of rigid bodies.1,2,31,
LO - 3 : express Lagrange equations and explain motion phenomenon using Lagrange equations.1,2,31,
LO - 4 : express Hamilton equations and explain motion phenomenon using Hamilton equations.1,2,31,
LO - 5 : interpret the motion of planets and moons based on energy and orbital equations3,61,
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), LO : Learning Outcome
