PHYSICS
The course aims to provide students with the tools of the scientific method, understanding and operational capabilities of the physics principles, with particular emphasis on topics that are used in medical fields.
The experimental method. Measurement units and dimensions of physical quantities. Kinematics: time, position, velocity, acceleration. Mechanics: force, mass, Newton''s laws, momentum, angular momentum, energy and work. Conservative and non-conservative forces. Conservation laws. Oscillations and waves. Fluid and gas: pressure, Stevin''s law, Archimede''s Force, Bernoulli''s law. Ideal gas, kinetic theory of gases. Thermodynamics: thermal equilibrium, heat and energy, heat capacity, I and II law of thermodynamics, entropy. Elements of electricity and magnetism.
