Suggested Reading:

The main book of this course is :

1)Fundamental of Physics: D. Halliday,  R. Resnick, J. Walker. 9th edition (2010)

2) Problems in Physics I :  (35 Questions)


Lectures:

 Lecture 1: (29 / 06 / 93)

In this Lecture we go through the first chapter of the book. A brief history of Physics, Physics as an experimental Science, Measurements in Physics, standard Units and the estimation in Physics is discussed. Also the concept of measurement and error is studied. (Chapter I)

 Lecture 2: ( 31 / 06 / 93)

In this lecture, we continue with the first chapter and concept of measurement and unit-converting. Then we will start the second chapter of the book. Introducing the concept of motion in straight line. The average and instantaneous velocity and acceleration. (Chapter I -II)

 Lecture  3: ( 05 / 07 / 93)

In this lecture, we review the concept of the dimensional analyses. we find the Energy of Planck scale by this method. Then we study the motion in one dimension, the concept of the average and instantaneous velocity and acceleration is restudied. (Chapter II)

Lecture  4: ( 07 / 07 / 93)

In this lecture we study the kinematic of motion in 2 and 3 dimensions. Solving the problem of  mass moving in 3D in constant gravitational field and a constant force field perpendicular to the gravitational field.  (Chapter III - IV)

Lecture  5: ( 12 / 07 / 93)

In this lecture we study the circular motion. The polar and spherical coordinates are discussed. Eventually we discuss the concept of relative motion. (Chapter IV)

Lecture  6: ( 14 / 07 / 93)

In this lecture, we will start talking about the concept of force. Then we introduce the three laws of motion. Then we study the frictional force and solve couple of examples  in dynamics. (Chapter V - Chapter VI)

Lecture  7: ( 19 / 07 / 93)

In this lecture, we solve 2 problems in dynamics to become more familiar with the concept of force and friction. (Chapter V - Chapter VI)
