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, hybrid learning)
Preparatory course: in common with the Mathematic one
Lectures : 22h
Practical Works : 22h
Remediation: 8h
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
Here are the modalities that will be applied in case of restrictions related to the health crisis:
- If the theoretical courses are not authorised in the classroom, they will be virtual via the Collaborate platform.
- If tutorial sessions are not allowed in the classroom, sessions will be held at home with support from the teaching staff via the Collaborate platform.
- If face-to-face examinations are not authorised, students will be assessed remotely via the Collaborate platform.
Recommended or required readings
Lecture notes and slides Physics for scientists and engineers - Serway - 3d Edition - Saunders-Philadelphia
Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Any session :
- In-person
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire, open-ended questions )
- Remote
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire, open-ended questions )
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred in-person
Additional information:
Code Yellow: The exam is organized in a written exam in person at the May/June and August/September sessions. It is held each time according to the same modalities. It includes a "theory" part and a "problems" part corresponding to the resolution of numerical exercises.
Code Orange: The exam as described above will be conducted in the computer room in small groups.
No partial exemption for theory or problems will be granted for the August/September session.
