Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
Students learn how to explain various phenomena based on a small number of basic physical laws.Specifically, they solve the motion of an object in which forces such as gravity and frictional forces work, and understand the phenomena.
Style:
It is done in a lecture format, but exercises are conducted as appropriate.
Notice:
Students need to understand mathematics and physics that they have learned by the first semester of their third year.
Review the items that you cannot understand in advance.
