Classical Mechanics

obligatory courses

Students participating in lectures, conversatory and laboratory should have basic knowledge in mathematics and physics from the previous cycle of education

Lectures, conversatory and laboratory from mechanics are aimed at getting to know the students the basic concepts, principles and theories of physical functioning on the basis of classical physics. Understanding the structure of physics as a scientific discipline. Understand the importance of physical experiment as a method of verification of theoretical concepts. Ability to solve basic problems using basic physical laws of physics. Content provided during the lecture relate to: 1) the mechanics of the material point and rigid body; 2) the basic principles of conservation in nature (momentum, energy and angular momentum ; 3) gravitational interactions; 4) statics and dynamics of fluids, 5) Elastic waves.
