Overview

Introduction to Mechanics is one of the initial and compulsory courses for students in the physics program and the study of this course the student must pass in order to allow him to download other courses based on it. This course aims to introduce the student to the units, dimensions, basic units, hardship units, order of magnitude, identification of scalars, vector quantities, and properties of vectors. as well as the study of the description of motion in one dimension as well as in two dimensions, and the study of the laws of free fall. and the study of linear dynamics, Newton's laws of motion, Newton's equations of motion. On the concept of work and motion, on the concept of energy and its relationship to work, and introducing some applications of the principle of energy.

Intended learning outcomes

After passing this course, the student will be able to know the laws of free fall, Newton's laws of motion, the concept of energy and its relationship to work, and introduce some data on the principle of energy.

Teaching and learning methods

Lectures (theoretical explanation and practical part) using blackboard, calligrapher, discussion and homework. .

Methods of assessments

The grade of the semester work represents 40% of the final total, divided by 20% for the first midterm exam, 20% for the second midterm exam, and the remaining 60% for the final exam.
