Entry requirements
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Prerequisites
Calculus, Linear algebraIntended learning outcomes
The course aims to provide knowledge of the basic relationships in classical mechanics, as well as provide an introduction to experimental problem solving. After completing the course the student should be able to:
- treat basic mechanical problems using laws of force and motion, kinetic energy and work and momentum equations and describe motion in both cartesian and polar coordinates in the plane
- formulate, simplify and solve simple mechanical problems from different approaches.
- apply physics modeling and experimental problem solving
- use dimensional analysis in order to formulate a mathematical description of a physical phenomenon.
- present measurements, results and conclusions in a written report
Course content
Kinematics (linear and plane movement of particles), relative motion (uniform relative translation and rotation), Dynamics of particles (The law of inertia, mass, momentum, Newton's second and third laws, the concept of force, frictional forces, angular momentum, central forces), work and energy (work, effect, kinetical and potential energy, conservative forces, potential energy curves) the dynamic of particle systems (motion of the center of mass, momentum and kinetical energy for a system of particles, laws of conservation), dynamic of the rigid body(angular momentum and moment of inertia, the equation for rotation of a rigid body), oscillatory motion(simple harmonic motion, the mathematical- and physical pendulum).
Teaching and working methods
The seminars are treating principally important sectors and may contain simple demonstrations of mechanical course of events or the solution of typical examples.

Regulations (apply to LiU in its entirety)
The university is a government agency whose operations are regulated by legislation and ordinances, which include the Higher Education Act and the Higher Education Ordinance. In addition to legislation and ordinances, operations are subject to several policy documents. The Linköping University rule book collects currently valid decisions of a regulatory nature taken by the university board, the vice-chancellor and faculty/department boards.
LiU’s rule book for education at first-cycle and second-cycle levels is available at http://styrdokument.liu.se/Regelsamling/Innehall/Utbildning_pa_grund-_och_avancerad_niva.
