Physics (FSI-BF-K)

Academic year 2019/2020
Supervisor: prof. Mgr. Miroslav Černý, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚFI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
Mastering the classic physics laws (in the specified areas of physics), ability of theirs application. Building the physical base of the technical subjects.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Review of units of physical quantities, manipulation with equations that contain physical quantities. Knowledge of definitions, laws and conditions of their validity in the areas specified in the curriculum.
Prerequisites:
Knowledge of classic physics on a secondary school level. Fundamentals of linear algebra, vector calculus and analytic geometry. Differential and integral calculus of functions of one variable.
Course contents:
It is an introductory course of classical physics for bachelors, which is oriented to solving simple physical and technical tasks. The acquired knowledge creates the physical basis of technical branches. The course covers: Motion of a particle (velocity, acceleration); Work and energy (conservative and non-conservative forces, potential); Dynamics of a rotating solid body; Vibrations, harmonic oscillator; Waves, travelling wave, interference of waves; Thermodynamics; Electrostatic field, electric current, simple circuit.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
In order to get a credit students must acquire at least 50% rating in both the seminars and the labs. The exam has written (possibly also oral) form and it tests the knowledge of physical quantities, laws and mainly their application in practise. The classification depends on acquired amount of points:
A: 90 - 100
B: 80 - 90)
C: 70 - 80)
D: 60 - 70)
E: 50 - 60)
F: 0 - 50)

Controlled participation in lessons:
The attendance at seminars and labs which are stated in the timetable is checked by a teacher. The form and the date of the compensation for missed lessons are specified by the teacher.
