Study Guide

Objective

The student is familiar with the SI system's basic and derived units of mechanics, including prefixes, as well as unit conversions. The student understands the physical principles of mechanical problems and can select and apply a modeling method suitable for the intended use.

Content

Mechanical quantities, units and the SI system, physical modeling, kinematics, dynamics, the principle of energy, and statics.

Qualifications

No prerequisites required

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

The student's use of concepts related to mechanics is limited and imprecise. The student has familiarized themselves with the knowledge base of mechanics in such a way that they can explain phenomena related to mechanics and find the necessary knowledge base for the subject being studied. The student acts according to the instructions in individual situations and works as agreed upon in the course. The student recognizes the importance of staying on schedule. The student is aware of their own responsibility for the group's activities when working in a group.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

The student's use of mechanics concepts is mostly consistent. The student has familiarized themselves with the knowledge base of mechanics in such a way that they are able to utilize the related information and solve basic problems. When working alone or in a group, the student formulates their action goals, stays on schedule, acts responsibly, and justifies their own actions.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

The student's use of concepts related to mechanics is expert and consistent. The student has thoroughly studied the substance's knowledge base and is capable of applying mechanical concepts and acquired knowledge justifiably in varying situations. The student evaluates various information sources related to the field of mechanics in a way that demonstrates an ability for source criticism. The student plans their actions with clear objectives and stays on schedule, both when working alone and in a group. The student shows the ability to apply what they have learned to different situational contexts and environments. The student solves even more challenging problems related to mechanics.
