Outline and Purpose of the Course Lectures on the topics of physics (classical mechanics) that are common and necessary to all students who study natural sciences.
Course Goals To acquire knowledge of basic concepts of physics such as motion, energy, gravitation, and the related laws of these topics.
Schedule and Contents 1. Kinematics, velocity and acceleration, components of polar coordinates (3 weeks)
2. Laws of motion, equations of motion and application (3 weeks)
3. Law of conservation, work and energy, angular momentum, momentum (3 weeks)
4. Motion due to a central force, planetary motion under the gravitation of the sun (3 weeks)
5. Motion of a system of particles (2 weeks)
6. Feedback (1 week)
Evaluation Methods and Policy Weekly submission of class examples, class participation and homework (25%), Snap quizzes (25%), Final examination(50%)
Course Requirements This course is intended mainly for students who studied physics at high school. Those who did not study physics are recommended to take "Elementary Course of Physics A".
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) Students are advised to refer to the class handouts and readings provided in the classes. Homework is assigned to strengthen the learning of the topics covered in class, therefore, it is advised to students to do their homework regularly and carefully.
