Final exam
Details
Written examination, oral examination only in individual cases, with the following elements:
- Multiple choice and assignment questions to query fundamental concepts, relationships and analogies
- Free-text answers to query further knowledge and the basic understanding of physical relationships
- Preparation of sketches to test further understanding
- Application-oriented text tasks, whose solutions make it necessary to analyze and reduce the physical problems, select a suitable model and apply it mathematically.
Minimum standard
50 % of the questions and tasks correctly solved

Learning goals

Knowledge
Mechanics of rigid bodies
- Physical quantities and units
- Kinematic (temporal description of linear and rotary motion)
- Analogy of linear and rotary motion
- One-dimensional motion
- Multidimensional motion and projectile motion
- Dynamics (forces, apparent forces, frictional forces, Newton's axioms)
- Work, energy, energy conservation
- Momentum, momentum conservation and impact processes
- Torque and moment of inertia
- Angular momentum and its conservation
- Oscillations of mass-spring systems (free/forced, undamped/damped)
- Resonance behavior, quality factor, resonance curve
- Analogy of mechanical and electrical oscillation systems

Mechanism of deformable body
- Elastic and plastic deformation
- Tension, pressure
- Mechanics of fluids and gases (Bernoulli)
