OVERVIEW

The course  will deal with the classical mechanics and it aims at learning the physical laws and the mechanical principles. It will be attached a great importance to the process for stating the problems and a minor importance to the numerical solution.

AIMS AND CONTENT

TEACHING METHODS

Lectures of theory  and of application for the statment and solution of numerical problems will alternate.  A very weight will be attached to the statment and literal solution of the problems.

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

Reference: standard; dimensions; units; vectors; vector addition, dot and cross product of vectors.

-Kinematics: position an dispalecement vector; velocity and acceleration; frame of reference;  simple type of motion; relative motions.

- Dynamics of a perticle: force and mass; Newton’s laws.

- Some important forces: weigth; conctat forces; vincular forces; elastic force; impulsive force end momentum of a particle; power.

- Work and energy: the work-energy theorem and kinetic energy; conervative forces and potential energy.

- Dynamic of systems: center of mass; conservation of momentum of system of particles; work and energy for e systems.

- Rigid body: kinematics of rotation about e fixed axis; momentum of inertia; rotational kinetic energy; momentum of a force; angular momentum and conservation of angolar momentum of a rigid body; static equilibrium of a rigid body.
