| Aims of the course | To introduce students with basic characteristics of motion. To make connection of given quontities with the cause of motion. To get familiar with the experiments that led to these cognitions. Consider the possibilities of applying the laws of mechanics in meteorology and astrophysics. To get know the physical quantities that describe the movement of celestial bodies, clouds, rain drops... | |||||||||
| Learning outcomes | Acquiring an overview of physical quantities that characterize the motion of material points, rigid bodies, physical systems. | |||||||||
