ING1104 Physics

Contents and structure

Mechanics: Motion along a straight line, motion in space, Newton's laws, work and energy, collisions, rotation, Newtons 2nd law for rotation, periodic motion.

Thermo physics: equation of state, pVT diagram, cyclical-, reversible-, and irreversible processes, heat transfer.

Electricity: Electrical field, electrical circuits, charge.

Learning Outcome

The student:

• can explain the structure of newtonian mechanics and the approach to thermo physics
• can explain Newton's 3 laws and the work-energy-law, both for translational and rotational motion
• can explain the conservation laws we need in connection with collisions, both translational and rotational motion
• can explain the conditions relating to the use of different laws and principles
• can explain the thermodynamic principles
• can explain the use of models and the model conditions

 

The student:

• can perform calculations based on Newtonian mechanics, both for translational and rotational motion
• can make use of good and clear sketches as part of solutions in mechanics
• can perform calculations of simple periodic motion
• can perform calculations of the equation of state for ideal gas and in context with pVT-diagrams
• can perform calculations of stationary heat transfer, one dimensional and cylindrical symmetric
• can perform calculations of simple electrical circuits
• can perform laboratory work including teamwork and writing of reports

 

The student:

• can explain physical problems and solution methods to others, both in writing and orally
• can use tools from physics to find solutions in other technical fields
• can recognize simple laws which are expressed in complex technologies

Entry requirements

None

Recommended previous knowledge

Analysis and linear algebra

Teaching methods

Lectures, workshops and laboratory work.

Regular lectures, exercises, laboratory work, and similar activities will be given every third week. During the two weeks where there is no regular teaching, the students are expected to work on the subject by themselves or in teams and to follow course material that is made available online.

In special cases instruction will be given by an English speaking lecturer/guest lecturer. The exam will still be given in Norwegian.

Parts of the course might be given in Haugesund.

Compulsory learning activities

Preliminary Examination 1: 2 or 3 lab excersices approved. This will be specified in the course plan by semester start. If the student has had the right to previously take the exame this Preliminary Examination is considered fulfilled.

Preliminary Examination 2: Will be specified in the course plan by semester start. Preliminary Examination 2 is only valid for the semester that the Preliminary Examination is completed and the next semester.

Assessment

Written exam, 5 hours.

Graded scale: A - E / F (failed).

Examination support material

Simple calculator: Allowed calculator is Casio fx-82 (all varieties: ES, ES Plus, EX, Solar etc.)
