ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	(not available) Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load. view allocation of credits

Short description:	lecture
Full description:	This seven weeks long course will cover the basics of classical mechanics. We will start with general description of motion of point particles, introduce vector notation, velocity vector and acceleration. Different types of motion will be discussed starting with one-dimensional motion followed by more general examples of motion in two and three dimensions. Newton's law of motion will be introduced and different forces will be discussed including the gravitational force and harmonic force. The concepts of kinetic energy and potential energy will be introduced and conditions under which energy is conserved will be discussed. The universal law of gravitation will be introduced and motion of two-body system will be discussed. Non inertial frames and non-inertial forces will be considered. At last motion of many particle systems will be discussed. Prepared by Marek Demiański, February 2008.
