Objective
You are able to form and solve equations of the motion trajectory of solid and shape-forming particles.
You are able to use momentum and angular momentum to study collisions of particles.
You are able to calculate the centre of mass.
You are able to use discrete time base to model mechanical conditions.
Content
How to form and solve equations of trajectories, force interactions, dynamic equilibrium, collisions, circular motion, rotating motion and dynamic forces?
How to present the solutions of equations of quantities in 2D and 3D space?
Opiskelumateriaali
Electronic material as well as web material published on the course's Learn platform. Exercises and their model answers are also given to students on the course's Learn platform and / or Teams channel.
Yksilölliset oppimisväylät
Participation in contact and / or remote learning according to the work schedule. The student completes the assignments, tasks and project work required in the course before the given deadlines and participates in the exam at the end of the course if it will be arranged.
Alternative methods of study must be agreed with the lecturer in charge before the beginning of the course.
TKI ja työelämäyhteistyö
During the course students will program a very basic implementation of a physics engine that can be utilized in games and simulations. Where possible, the actual physics problems encountered in game programming and game companies will be addressed.
Tentit ja muut määräajat
Exercises and assignments will be returned to the Learn platform by the deadline specified there.
Opiskelijan työmäärä
A total of 135h, of which about 70h is contact learning and 65h is independent work.
