Course objectives
The course enables students to become familiar with the basic principles of classical mechanics and thermodynamics and the mathematical apparatus used to the extent necessary for their professional practice. - Introduction - physical quantities and units (basic, derived, multiples and parts of units, determination of the physical dimension of a quantity from the defining equation); division of quantities into scalar and vector; operations with vectors; division of mechanics - kinematics, dynamics; basic concepts of kinematics of a material point - material point, reference frame, trajectory, path, velocity HB, Galilei's principle of relativity ; - Kinematics of a material point - classification of motions; uniform motion, uniformly accelerated motion, free fall, uniform motion on a circle; folding of motions and velocities; - Dynamics - Newton's laws of motion; gravitational force and gravity of a body; inertial forces - centripetal and centrifugal force; shear friction; - Momentum, impulse forces; Impulse Theorem I; law of conservation of total momentum of an isolated system - Mechanical work and energy; law of conservation of total mechanical energy; power, efficiency; - Gravitational field - Newton's law of gravitation; gravitational field strength, gravitational acceleration; motions in homogeneous and radial gravitational field; Kepler's laws; - Mechanical oscillations - mechanical oscillator, instantaneous deflection, amplitude, period and frequency of oscillations; spring oscillator and mathematical pendulum; damping, natural and forced oscillations, resonance; folding of oscillations; - Mechanics of rigid body - moment of force, moment theorem; composition and decomposition of forces acting on TT; centre of mass and centre of gravity of TT; moment of inertia of TT with respect to axis of rotation; - Fluid mechanics - pressure in an ideal fluid, measurement of pressure, Pascal's law, hydraulics, buoyant force, Archimedes' law, buoyancy of bodies; atmospheric pressure, measurement of atmospheric pressure; fluid dynamics - continuity equation, Bernoulli's equation, basic physics of flight; - Thermodynamics - thermodynamic system, equilibrium state of the system, state variables; temperature, internal energy, work, heat; 1st main theorem of thermodynamics; heat capacity, calorimetry; heat transfer; - Kinetic theory of gases - ideal gas, root mean square velocity of molecules, basic equation for gas pressure, ideal gas equation of state; - Simple processes with ideal gas; work done by ideal gas, reversible process and irreversible process, circular process, efficiency of Carnot cycle; Second main theorem of thermodynamics; heat engines;
