Physics

Learning Objectives

The aims of this course:

  • To provide the student with a clear and logical presentation of the basic concepts and principles of physics
  • To strengthen an understanding of the concepts and principles through a broad range of interesting applications in today's information technological area

Learning Outcomes

The successful completion of this course, Student will be able:

  • To understand the concepts of motional quantities such as displacement, velocity, and acceleration
  • To identify situation from daily life and that they can explain with the help of Newton’s three laws
  • To understand what causes the force of gravity and the relationship between forces applied to bodies and the motion that those bodies experience
  • To compare the total momentum of two objects before and after they interact
  • To recognize the concepts of angular velocity, angular acceleration, and centripetal acceleration
  • To predict the final velocity of objects after collisions, given the initial velocities, force and time
  • To apply the Doppler effect to predict apparent changes in frequency due to relative velocities of a source and a listener
  • To focus on some of the processes of energy transfer between a system and its surroundings
  • To consider Thermal Processes in Gases
  • • To understand the Heat Engines, Carnot Engine and the First law and Second Law of Thermodynamics
  • To understand the magnetic force and field
  • To derive voltage–current relationships for individual circuit elements carrying a sinusoidal current (We’ll consider resistors, inductors, and capacitors.)
  • To understand the concept of electric field and determine the resultant electric field at a point some distance from two or more point charges.
  • To determine the magnitude and direction of the electric force on a charged particle placed in an electric field.
  • To sketch the electric field pattern in the region between charged objects
  • To study electric current in circuits and need to understand how to measure currents and voltages.
  • To know the concepts of electric current, voltage, resistance and Ohm’s Law behavior.
