Entry requirements

In order to meet the general entry requirements for first cycle studies you must have successfully completed upper secondary education and documented skills in English language and You are expected to have knowledge in statics and simple dynamics as well as differentiation and derivation. This can, for example, be obtained in F0004T Physics 1, 7,5 hp, and M0047M Calculus, 7,5 hp.

Selection

The selection is based on 1-165 credits.

Course Aim

After completing the course, you can

1. Knowledge and understanding

explain and illustrate, for simple, two-dimensional, rotating bodies, the concepts:
work, energy, momentum, angular momentum, moment of inertia and center of mass and the corresponding dynamics
explain and illustrate the concepts:
time dilation, length contraction, relativistic Doppler shift, radioactive radiation and nuclear decay.

2. Skills and abilities

make free-body diagrams and solve 2D dynamical problems for particles and simple rigid bodies in

simple rotation,
physical pendulum motion,
satellite movement,
and non-constant acceleration

calculate the position of the center of mass for arbitrary 2D bodies
apply the law of conservation of mechanical energy on systems with rotating parts
solve simple problems in special relativity
calculate the energies in radioactive decay and nuclear reactions
present scientific results in a structured way
present your solutions in a comprehensible way

3. Assessment and attitude

make simple group work in a group with different composition
discuss the nuclear question with regards to the technology, sustainability and environment
superficially discuss and illustrate gender equality

Realization

Each course occasion´s language and form is stated and appear on the course page on Luleå University of Technology's website.

Lectures and compulsory laboratory work. The lectures contain overview of theory, demonstrations and problem solving.

Examination

If there is a decision on special educational support, in accordance with the Guideline Student's rights and obligations at Luleå University of Technology, an adapted or alternative form of examination can be provided.

Written exam at the end of the course and compulsory assignments. Two laboratory exercises with written reports. Alternative forms of examination may occur. If a student has not been under proper surveillance, or if the examiner has another factual ground to doubt that the student has the required knowledge, a complementary examination may be required

Remarks

This course cannot be included in a study program in combination with courses MTF008, MTF009, MTF429, MTF098, F0060T, W0012T, Completion course Mechanics or Completion course Modern Physics.
