Teaching in the second semester
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

Adaptation of teaching commitments following the COVID-19 pandemic for the May-June 2020 session
Teaching methods implemented : distance-learning
The course consists of face-to-face sessions which took place before confinement, commented PPTs which have been posted on eCampus and podcats (with slides) which have also been posted on eCampus.
Assessment subjects
Theory: Chapter 2 "Kinematics", Chapter 3 "Dynamics", Chapter 4 "Energy" as well as the equations for the dimensions and the units of all the quantities seen during the course.
Tutorials: Material seen in tutorials from 1 to 12 with the exception of tutorial 9 (relating to fictitious forces). No exercise relating to fictitious forces will be asked for examination
Assessment methods
The examination will include two parities:
Theory: A questionnaire on e-Campus including several types of questions (QCM, QRM, matching, area of ¿¿graph to identify, ...) relating to the understanding of the theoretical course and randomly selected from a pool
Exercises- Tutorials (TD): 4 exercises
2 level exercises * coming directly from the preparation tests for TDs already present on eCampus. The answers of these exercises will have to be encoded on eCampus.
1 exercise with different level parts **. The answers must be encoded on eCampus. For this exercise, only the coded answers will earn points, the reasoning written on your draft sheet will not be verified.
1 exercise with level ** and *** parts to be performed on paper as in a classic written exam. We therefore expect clearly detailed and justified reasoning for this exercise. This writing must be photographed / scanned and sent to us
Additional information (distribution of points, procedure in the event of problems, etc.) and technical connection details will soon be provided to you in a "Session June 2020" section which will be created on eCampus
