Course content
A general introduction to Newtonian mechanics. Newton's laws. Conservation of energy, momentum and angular momentum. Undamped oscillations. Gravitation and orbital movements. Experimental methods: Measuring physical quantities, data acquisition, interpretation, and documentation. A separate series of lectures introduces the students to a wider field of physics and mathematics.
Learning outcome
The student is expected to: 1. Obtain, through a combined theoretical and experimental approach to the subject, a fundamental understanding of Newton's mechanics. 2. Learn the definition and the use of central quantities like energy, linear and angular momentum, and gravitation. 3. Learn to construct equations between infinitesimal quantities and solve these by integration. 4. Learn experimental methods in physics.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, compulsory laboratory exercises and home exercises. 2/3 of the calculation exercises and all of the laboratory exercises must be fulfilled. A re-sit examination may be changed from written to oral.
Compulsory assignments
- Calculation exercises
- Laboratory exercises
Recommended previous knowledge
Fysikk 1 (2FY) and Fysikk 2 (3FY) in upper secondary school. In addition, TMA4100 is taken in parallel with TFY4145.
Course materials
Suggested literature: Young & Freedman: University Physics; or in Norwegian: Lillestøl, Hunderi, Lien: Generell fysikk, Bind 1: Mekanikk. Other books may also be used.
