Prerequisites
basic concepts of the vectorial and differential calculus.

Learning outcomes
This course aims to introduce the laws of physics applied to the mechanics of rigid bodies and fluids and the basic laws of thermodynamics

Program
physical quantities and measurements. Vectors. Kinematics. Dynamics. Friction. Work and kinetic energy. Power. Potential energy. Relative motion. Center of mass. Momentum. Impulse. Elastic and inelastic collisions. Rotational motion. Rotational kinetic energy. Moment of inertia. Work and rotational kinetic energy. Torque. Angular momentum. Statics. Gravitation. Fluids. Bernoulli's theorem. Oscillations. Harmonic motion. Damped harmonic motion. Resonance. Thermodynamical states and systems. Temperature. Heat. First principle. Ideal and real gases.

Development of the examination
LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
written examination consisting of problems concerning the topics of the course. An additional oral examination could be requested.

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
in the written test, the student must demonstrate knowledge of the physical laws of mechanics of rigid bodies, fluids and thermodynamics. The oral test will evaluate the student's ability to outline and predict the mechanical evolution of a generic physical system.

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
evaluation expressed by a number as follows: n/30, n>=18.

FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIA
the exam consists of both a written test and an oral test weighted as follows: 80% written examination, 20% oral examination. A positive score in the written examination is necessary to pass the exam.
