Learning outcomes
Motivate students for higher education
Prepare students for studies in technology/natural science
After completing the course the student should be able to:
- Explain basic concepts and connections within the areas of mechanics, electricity, magnetism, electromagnetic radiation, heat and modern physics
- Identify problems and motivate the use of mathematical models. The base being concrete physical problems
- Identify problems and motivate the use of mathematical models. The starting point is a concrete physical problems
- Separate reality from theoretical constructions. Understand that the connection between observable occurrences or results and mathematical models are generalized. Be aware of the limitations, idealizations and conditions the connections have.
Course main content
The course includes five parts and one final exam
1. Thermodynamics

- Materials shape, phases and their properties, phase transitions
- The principal clauses of thermodynamics
- Energy supply
- Pressure and density
- Ideal law of gas
2. Statics
- Introduction to mechanics
- Elemental vectoralgebra
- Forces, fundamental reciprocal action, force sum
- Force moment, force system, resultant
- Masscentre och force of gravity
- Equilibrium, friction och hydrostatics
3. Partical Dynamics
- Scheduled movement
- Two-dimensional movement
- Newton’s second law (Force equation)
- Work and energy for particles and particle systems
- Amount of movement, impulse and shock
- Circular- and harmonic oscillation
4. Electricity and electromagnetism
- Charges in movement, isolators and conductors
- Electrical circuits, Ohms law
- Electrical energy and effect
- Alternating currents, inductance and capacitance
- Electromagnetic waves and optics
5 Modern physics
- Relativity
- Four different forces
- Waves and particles
- The Atom
