Objectives

The course aims to teach the physical concepts of the mechanics of point particles of rigid bodies and of fluids, with particular emphasis on biomedical applications and expertise in physical principles of biological phenomena. The course also aims to enable the student to solve problems of physics concerning the aforementioned topics. Using examples to problems the student will develop critical analysis skills.

Extended Syllabus

Mechanics of point particles
The International System of Units. Scalar and vector quantities. Frames of reference. One-dimensional motion: position, speed, acceleration. Motion in two and three dimensions. Circular motion. Newton's laws and their application. Friction. Inertial frames of reference. Concept of work and work done by a force. Gravitational force and the work done by it. Kinetic energy. Theorem of kinetic energy. Potential energy. Conservation of Energy. Conservative forces. Momentum, impulse of a force. Conservation of momentum. Elastic and inelastic collisions. Torque. Simple harmonic motion.

Mechanics of rigid bodies
Rigid bodies. Center of mass. Rotational motion and rotational variables. Rotational kinetic energy. Rotational inertia. Torque. Angular momentum. Newton's second law in angular form. Conservation of angular momentum. Equilibrium conditions for a rigid body.

Fluids
Density and pressure. Static fluids. Pascal’s principle. Archimedes’ principle. Continuity equation. Bernoulli’s equation. Viscosity. Flow in tubes.
Examples will be given throughout of applications of the concepts to the human body.

Teaching Methods

Lectures supplemented by classroom exercises.

Evaluation methods

Verification of learning:

The final exam consists of a written part and an oral part.
If the score obtained is less than 18/30 the exam is not passed and must be repeated in its entirety.
If the score obtained is greater than or equal to 18/30, the written exam is supplemented by an oral examination. If after the oral examination the grade is lower than 18/30 the exam must be repeated in its entirety (written part included).
In order to pass the exam, the student must demonstrate knowledge of all the topics of the course program. The student must demonstrate, through the tests described above, to have understood well the concepts covered in the course. The exam will also assess his/her ability to demonstrate the basic principles, the ability to apply to concrete examples, the technological rigor and the appropriateness of technical language.

Contacts/More Information

Meetings with the students are scheduled on Mondays from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm at ITAB, Chieti campus, ONLY UPON APPOINTMENT by email: richard.wise@unich.it
