Course abstract
Students will acquire the mechanical motion of material objects and rigid body kinematic parameters of material objects and rigid body kinematic parameters of movement and differential equation forming and solving. To develop logical thinking and build a knowledge base of technical discipline learning.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
Knowledge - using equations are to describe the interaction of material objects and dependence of it`s motion on forces.
skills - are able solve equations of objects interaction, laws of motion, perform differential equations of motion and solving them to find statistic and kinematic characteristics and laws motion.
competence - are able to explain and substantiate the general effect of forces and forces couples conformity with law, equilibrium condition of objects, kinds of motion from geometric point of view and forces acting on the material objects. Ability to apply theoretical principles in practical and scientific activities.
