Fundamentals of Physics

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  Physics is a wide-ranging area that can be applied to any type of current technology. It is one of the fundamental bases for any development process, and its importance becomes crucial in technology. This course aims to familiarize students with the basics of physics to enable them to gain autonomy and strategies in solving various problems, with links to the other more specific CUs in this course and, later, to professional activity in technological areas related to this course. This course aims to be comprehensive in terms of the subjects covered, starting with the most elementary concepts of physics, scalar and vector quantities, and moving on to the concepts of movement, masses, mechanical forces, charges and electromagnetic forces, and energy. The emphasis in this course is on the demonstrative and visual component of the concepts discussed, an objective that is developed with the help of software tools.
