1. General information
The subject and its expected results respond to the following approach: Analyze and solve autonomously problems that integrate different aspects of physics, recognizing the various physical and technical fundamentals underlying the problem.
The development of the subject of Physics requires knowledge of:
- Physics: understanding the fundamental equations and laws of mechanics and thermodynamics.
- Mathematics: mastery of the basic notions of calculus.
A level of second year of baccalaureate in both mathematics and physics is recommended to take the subject. As well as simultaneously take the subject Mathematics I of the degree.
Defence profile: The curriculum is in the process of being phased out. The content of this teaching guide is the same as that of the 2023-2024 academic year. It can be consulted on this same website by selecting the aforementioned academic year at the top.
2. Learning results
1.Know the fundamental concepts and laws of fields, waves and electromagnetism and their application to basic engineering problems basic engineering problems.
2.Analyze problems that integrate different aspects of physics, recognizing the various physical fundamentals underlying a technical application, device, or real system.
3.Know the units, orders of magnitude of defined physical quantities and solves basic engineering problems, expressing the numerical result in the appropriate physical units.
4.Correctly use basic methods of experimental measurement or simulation and treat, present and interpret the data obtained, relating them to appropriate physical magnitudes and laws.
5.Use bibliography, by any of the means currently available, and use clear and precise language in their explanations of physics questions.
6.Correctly apply the fundamental equations of mechanics to various fields of physics and engineering: kinematics, rigid solid dynamics, oscillations and fluids
7.Understand the meaning, usefulness and relationships between magnitudes, moduli and fundamental elastic coefficients used in solids and fluids.
8.Perform mass and energy balances correctly in fluid motions in the presence of basic devices.
9.Correctly uses the concepts of temperature and heat. Apply them to calorimetric, expansion and heat transferproblems
10.Apply the first and second principles of thermodynamics to processes, basic cycles and thermal machines.
3. Syllabus
The program of the subject comprises 6 topics:
- I. Kinematics.
- II. Single and multi-particle dynamics. Static.
- III. Dynamics of the rigid solid.
- IV. Oscillatory motion.
- V. Elasticity and fluids.
- VI. Thermodynamics.
4. Academic activities
COMPANY PROFILE
The subject consists of 6 ECTS credits, which represents 150 hours of student work in the subject during the semestrer. 40% of this work (60 h.) will be done in the classroom, and the rest will be autonomous.
The program offered to the student includes the following activities:
- Theoretical classes: Theoretical activities taught in a fundamentally expository manner by the teacher.
- Practical classes: Practical discussion activities and exercises carried out in the classroom that require a high level of student participation. The practical classes may also involve the realization of experimental practices including the use of different instruments and appropriate software.
- Group and individual tutoring. They will be scheduled according to the needs of the subject.
5. Assessment system
COMPANY PROFILE
The student must demonstrate that they have achieved the expected learning results by means of the following assessment activities. There is the possibility of passing the subject by two different ways:
Continuous Assessment:
To be eligible for the Continuous Assessment system, at least 80% of the classes must be attended. It will consist of two written tests. To pass this part, a grade of 4.0 or higher on each written test is required.
The final grade for the subject will be the average of both tests.
In order to pass the subject, the student must obtain an average grade of 5.0 or higher.
Global Assessment:
The Global Assessment will consist of a final written test whose grade must be greater than or equal to 5.0 to pass the subject.
The final grade for the subject will be the grade obtained in the final written test.
The same assessment procedure will be followed in the two global assessment calls.
Note: in case the student does not pass the subject through Continuous Assessment, they will be able to do it through Global Assessment . In addition, in case the student has passed the subject through Continuous Assessment and wants to improve their grade, they can take the 1st call of the Global Assessment without the risk of lowering their grade.
