Objective

The course covers the most important conservation laws of physics and the basics of vibrational motion. You also learn about physical measurements and the basics of error analysis. After the course, you are able to apply this information using mathematics as an aid in the study units studied later in the degree program.

EUR-ACE Knowledge and understanding
After completing the course, you know the basic principles of work and energy in both rectilinear motion and rotational motion. You know the major laws of vibration and, with the help of your expertise, understand the laws and problems related to vibration in your own professional field.
