Course of Physics I - Mechanics of particles and bodies, Mechanics of fluids, Waves

This physics course is oriented to students of Chemistry. It will discuss equilibrium and motion of particles, motion in one and three dimensions, Newton’s laws, work and energy principles, conservative and non-conservative forces, conservation of energy, linear momentum, collisions, rotational dynamics of systems of particles and rigid bodies, law of gravitation, statics and dynamics of fluids, oscillations and waves phenomena, sound, diffraction, interference.
