At the end of the course, students will be able to : Understand basic notions and concepts related to classical mechanics and waves Apply this knowledge to the understanding of various physical phenomena, whether or not related to living organisms. Students will be encouraged to explore the subject in depth, going beyond mere knowledge of laws and concepts. Particular attention will be paid to mathematical rigor, scientific reasoning and critical thinking.
The objectives of this course are to: To provide a solid knowledge base in physics, more specifically in fields related to classical mechanics and wave phenomena To be able to recognize the physical principles at work in applications related to living and non-living organisms
Introduction - Kinematics - Forces - Newton's 1st and 3rd law - Newton's second law - torque - momentum - work, energy and power - gas - thermodynamics - diffusion - capillarity and osmosis - fluid mechanics - uniform circular motion - harmonic motion - sound waves - ultrasound and Doppler Effect
Attendance at tutorials is strongly recommended.
Lectures with PowerPoint support supplemented by experiments carried out in front of the students and interactive MCQs via an online application.
Exercise sessions (TD), supervised by assistants, are organized in small groups, enabling students to apply the various theoretical concepts (Syllabi available on WebCampus).
A forum, supervised by teaching assistants, is available for answering questions and requesting remediation.
Written exam: theory (2/3 of the grade) and exercices (1/3 of the grade), closed books The grade for a successful part (theory or exercises) can be carried over to the next session but not to the next academic year.
