Organisation and examination
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Mechanics of particle
- Language of Physique : basic quantity, dimensions, units
- Kinématic : Décription of the motions (acceleration, speed, position and the motions rectilinears, harmonic oscillatories, circulars, balistics, relatives)
- Dynamics: Understand the motion causes (forces, Newton laws, forces budget, fictional forces)
- Energie: Use for the description of motions and understanding its causes more rapidely (work, conservative forces, potential energy, kinetic énergy, energy conservation, power)
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
- Learning of fundamental physics laws.
- Initiation to scientific reasoning: translation of the situation into formal elements, determination of the assumption (orders of magnitude and approximations), choice of the development method, resolution of the problem, solution analysis and interpretation
- Read and interpret a graphic (infer some informations)
- Know and verify the hypothesis for application of the loi or property
- Use correctly the specific vocabulary
- Give the units and dimensions of the quantities
- Transform and make sensitivity analysis of a formula or relationship
- Remake reasoning already presented during the lectures
- Carry informations over to a graphic or a diagram
- Apply the theory to an original situation
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
1) Mathematics addressed during secondary school and during the training sessions:
- 1st and 2nd degree equations
- Linear system
- Trigonometric (sin, cos, tg,..) and exponential functions
- Simple derivative
- 10 exponents
- Vectorial algebra (projection, summation, product,...)
- Vocabulary accurancy
- Right utilisation of the linking words
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Teaching method:
- Presentation of laws and theorem and preparation to theoritical questions during theoritical courses
- Presentation and resolution of exercices during tutorials
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
Preparatory course: in common with the Mathematic one
Lectures : 22h
Practical Works : 22h
Remediation: 8h
Recommended or required readings
Lecture notes and slides Physics for scientists and engineers - Serway - 3d Edition - Saunders-Philadelphia
Assessment methods and criteria
A test is organized at the beginning of November. The test is based on Kinematic. The score for this test will be taken into account for 10% (2 points) of the examination of January (if presented). A drill common to Mathematic and Physic and based on the knowledge reactivation will be organised during the test week in November. If the drill score is below 10/15, the test score will be set to 0.
The examination is organised in similar way in January, May/June and August/September. It includes a therotical part (score = Th) and a "problem" part corresponding to the resolution of numerical exercices (score = Ex). There is only one score for the examination (N) computed following the formula: N = Minimum {Average (Th, Ex) ; Minimum (Th, Ex) + 2}.
Examples : If Th =12,6 and Ex = 9,4 ¿ N = 11 and if Th = 5 et Ex = 13 ¿ N = 7
Partial exemption for "Theory" or "Problems" doesn't exist for the June and August/September sessions
