Physics of a material point

Abstract

This course handout is intended for first-year students of the Licence-Master-Doctorate (LMD) system, specialty: Materials Science (SM) and Science and Technology (ST). It follows the program taught in the departments of Physics within the Algerian Universities. This course handout contains course reminders and solved exercises on the different chapters of the Physics 1 module “Mechanics of the point”. Tutorials were introduced to emphasize the basic concepts of classical material point mechanics. The exercises accompanying these course reminders have been chosen for the purpose of providing effective training to students in order to facilitate their understanding of the course and consolidate their knowledge. This course handout is divided into five chapters: Chapter - 1: Dimensional Equations, Calculation of Uncertainties and Vectorial Calculation Chapter - 2: Kinematics Chapter - 3: Relative Motion Chapter - 4: Dynamics of the material point Chapter - 5: Work and Energy I would like to emphasize that this course handout is not a substitute for lectures and tutorials. The presence of the student and his interaction with his teacher is irreplaceable. This handout serves as a support and guide for the student in his learning and knowledge journey
