Base Knowledge
Vectors and Derivatives
Teaching Methodologies
A theoretical presentation of each topic is initially made that is always followed by problem solving in order to stengthen knowledge acqusition.
Learning Results
Acquire basic knowledge on the physical principles of mechanical systems.
Application of the knowledge acquired in the formulation and resolution of problems and in the interpretation of results.
Program
Units: significant figures, order of magnitude, units of measurement, international system of units, unit conversion, powers of 10, scientific notation.
Kinematics: rectilinear and uniform motion, uniformly varied rectilinear motion, projectile motion, circular and uniform motion, uniformly varied circular motion.
Linear dynamics: laws of Newton, law of universal gravitation, forces of static and kinetic friction.
Work and energy: work carried out by constant forces, kinetic energy theorem, weight work, gravitational potential energy, mechanical energy conservation, nonconservative forces, power, yield.
Static: equilibrium of the particle, torque of a force, arm of the force, equilibrium of the rigid body.
