General Physics I (Mechanics and Molecular Physics) (FSI-TF1)

Academic year 2023/2024
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Radek Kalousek, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚFI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The two main goals are followed:
* To present to students the problems and methods of classical mechanics on the university course
level, including the adequately economical mathematical calculus.
* By the practical teaching of such illustrative and accessible discipline, and especially by demonstration experiments, to introduce students into procedures and methods of physics.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Review of units of the physical quantities, manipulation with equations that contain physical quantities. Knowledge of the definitions, laws and conditions of theirs validity in the areas specified in curriculum. The dominant aim of the course is development of the skills to solve the physical and technical problems and formation
of the technically-physical thinking and the ability to apply the physical results in other disciplines.
Prerequisites:
Secondary school knowledge and skills of mathematics and physics.
Course contents:
Mechanics and molecular physics is the introductory discipline of most university courses of general physics. Such its role is determined by its illustrativity and accessibility to human senous perceiving. The course is devoted to students of biophysics, applied physics and physical engineering.
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.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Knowledge of basic physical quantities for description of classical mechanics on the university course level. The exam is oral and written.
Controlled participation in lessons:
The presence on the seminars, which are stated in the timetable, is checked by teacher. The teacher specifies the form and the date of the compensation of the missing lessons.
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  13 × 3 hrs. optionally                  
    Exercise  13 × 2 hrs. compulsory
