Program

MECHANICS

- Introduction to Classical/Modern Physics. Scientific method, measurement and physical quantities.
- Kinematics of material points: translational motion and 2-D kinematics. Vectors position, velocity, acceleration. Free fall, parabolic motion, circolar motion, harmonic motion.
- Dynamics of material points: principle of inertia and concept of force, Newton's Laws and application to motion dynamics. Weight, centripetal force, elastic force, constraint forces, friction. (Examples of application)
- Work and energy. Work-energy theorem. Conservative force and potential energy. Conservation of energy. (Examples of application)
- Momentum and impulse, angolar momentum, torque.
- Dynamics of systems of particles. Center of mass. Momentum, angular momentum, kinetic energy. König's theorems. Conservation laws. Collision theory elastic/inelastic
- Dynamics of rigid body. Moment of inertia. Steiner's theorem.
- Oscillations: harmonic oscillator, superposition of harmonic motions: interference and beats.

ELETTROMAGNETISMO

- Electric charge, electric force, electric field.
- Electric potential energy, electric potential.
