Aims :

Ability to use the scientific schematisation and the corresponding logical/mathematical tools in describing a phenomenon.
Basic knowledge of particle mechanics, systems mechanics, static and dynamics of fluids, error analysis and data analysis.

Inertial and not inertial frames, real and fictitious forces. Energy and momentum. Centre of mass. Work, Energy. Conservative forces, potential energy; force and potential energy gradient. Potentials wells and barriers. Collisions. Mechanical and thermal energy.
Rotational mechanics: kinematical and dynamical. Moment of a vector, of a force, of the momentum, of inertia. Cardinal equations of the systems mechanics. Equivalent sets of forces. Centre of gravity. Rigid bodies equilibrium. Precession.
Fluids. General characteristics of fluids. The hydrostatics fundamental equation and some basic equations. Hydrostatics in not inertial systems. Basic equations of hydrodynamics. Viscosity. Viscous resistance; Stokes law. Surface tension.
