Basics of PhysicsLaajuus (3 ECTS)

Objective

After completion of this course the student is able to make unit changes. The student understands the structure of the solving process. The participant knows how to describe things using quantity equations. He or she also knows how to solve these equations and how to give the final result. The student can combine vectors and split them into components. The participant knows how to solve problems of kinematics when the object under consideration either moves along the line or is thrown with known slope.
