AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The objective of this course is to guide students in tackling problems related to physics, in preparation for the core subjects of this “Corso di Laurea”.

Learning Goals: Students shall learn the basic concepts of mechanics, kinematics, fluid dynamics, thermology, thermodynamics, electric and magnetic phenomena. Instead of relying solely on rote memorization, students should develop the ability to understand, reason, and correlate.

TEACHING METHODS

Lectures, both theoretical and dedicated to solving exercises.

In case of certification of specific learning disability (SLD), disability or other special educational needs, students shall contact both the SLD Representative and the Lecturer at the beginning of the course, to agree on teaching and examination methods, in compliance of the teaching objectives, to provide suitable compensatory/dispensatory tools recognized by the University SLD Student Service.

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

Topics Covered:

The scientific method; Physical quantities; Measurements; Vectors and Scalars; Forces and motion; Laws of dynamics; Work, energy, power, and conservation of mechanical energy; Statics and dynamics of fluids; Heat and temperature; Electrical and magnetic phenomena.

RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY

The lecturer will share his slides with students. Suggested textbook:
​D.Scannicchio-E.Giroletti – Elementi di Fisica Biomedica - EdiSES

EXAMS

EXAM DESCRIPTION

Written test. Students shall solve physics problems (typically, 5-7 short exercises) relating to the topics addressed during class hours. Exam duration is typically 45 minutes.

In case of certification of specific learning disability (SLD), disability or other special educational needs, the University legislation and regulations on disability and SLD are applied. Students with SLD or other certified special educational needs shall contact the lecturer/examiner (Prof Costagli) and the Department contact person (Prof Girtler) at least 10 days before the exam, to request for additional time to take the test, and use support notes, which must fit a single A4 sheet.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The written exam will verify the student's ability to correctly approach real problems using the knowledge and skills acquired during the physics course. The test will be considered passed only if the student achieves an overall score of at least 18 points out of 30.
