INTRODUCTION TO MECHANICS, HEAT AND SOUND
Lecturer: Dadan Rosana, Dr.,M.Si.
Course Description
This course is the first of a two semester sequence which is a survey of the basic laws and principles of physics and includes the topics of mechanics, waves, and heat. Emphasis is on solutions to physics problems. A knowledge of algebra and basic trigonometry is essential. This subject discusses some basic physics concepts i.e. : motion in one dimension, motion in two dimension, the laws of motion, work and energy, momentum and collisions, circular motion, the law of gravitation, rotational equilibrium, rotational dynamics, solids and fluids, thermal physics, heat, the laws of thermodynamics, vibration, waves, and sound.
Course Standard Competence
1. Know and understand basic physical processes and phenomena.
2. Solve simple physics problem by applying both theoretical and experimental techniques.
3. Acquire skills needed to read physics literature and to work with tables and physical quantities.
4. Understand and to use physical laws governing real process and to describe them mathematically.
