Description /
Content

The module consists of a lecture with tutorials, the following topics will be dealt with

  1. Mechanics
    • Mechanics of point masses
    • Dynamics of solid bodies
    • Mechanics of solid bodies, fluids and gases
    • Vibrations and waves
  2. Thermodynamics
    • Kinetic theory of gases
    • Laws of thermodynamics, entropy
    • Phenomenon of transport
    • Heat engines
Obligatory literature
  • Bergmann Schäfer, Lehrbuch der Experimentalphyik Band I (de Gruyter)
  • Halliday Resnick Walker, Physik (Wiley-VCH)
  • Gerthsen, Physik (Springer Berlin)
Additional literatureIs announced at the beginning of the course.
Organisation and
teaching style		Tutorials are set parallel to lectures in which written homework are placed that have to be done successfully, averaged over the semester.
Course assessment,
assessment mode		This module is a non-compensable obligatory module. A test takes place, containing the topics of lecture and tutorials. The successful passing of tutorials as well as an application is necessary to take part in the test. At the beginning of the following semester a re-examination is offered. A non-passed test can be retried twice. In case of failing the second re-examination the module is considered failed. A re-participation in lecture and tutorials on a re-examination is possible. The failed module can not be retried. The mark of the test is the mark of the module. 
Learning / qualification targetsComprehension of the basic terms of mechanics (force, energy, impulse, etc.) and thermodynamics ( heat energy, temperature, etc.), demonstration of natural laws based on fundamental experiments, mathematical formulation of mechanic phenomenons, solving of simple physical problems in the areas of mechanics and thermodynamics
