Learning Outcomes
The students
a. will be able to comprehend the principles of Newtonian mechanics and the constants of motion and how to use them for the study of the motion in a force field
b. will be able to analyze simple mechanical models writing down the equations of motion. Also will be able to understand the motion with the use of the constants of motion.
c. will be able to solve and analyze orbits in fields of fundamental forces as gravitational and Coulomb forces.
General Competences
