Course description
You are already studying dynamics at high school. But you just learned the result of the physical phenomenon and memorized the physical laws only. Therefore, you did not have the chance to know how the law of physics was derived. In "Introduction to Mechanics", after mathematical preparation, we will pick up two items "Motion of objects" and "Energy". Regarding these basic items, we will give lectures incorporating experiments. The purpose of this lecture is to gain a physical view and idea.
Expected Learning
Understand how to describe the motion of object and its mathematical meaning.
Understand the relationship between "force and work" "work and energy" "energy and force".
Course schedule
0. Investigation of comprehension degree of mechanics concept (April 12)

Ⅰ. Motion of objects
- Understanding the description method of parabolic motion and its mathematical meaning
1-1. Rectangular coordinates, resultant vector (Understand the convenience of vector) (April 19)
1-2. Differentiation (for description of velocity and acceleration) (April 26)
1-3. Integration (for deriving velocity and position at a certain time) (May 10)
1-4. Mathematical description of parabolic motion (Understand that motion of object can be described by equation of motion) (May 17)
1-5. Explanation about the experiment of falling motion of object (Observe the free falling motion and parabolic motion of the objects and analyze these results) The experiment and guidance for the submitted report are done within the time of "basic experiments in applied physics". (5 28th and 4th June)) (May 24)
1-6. Equations of motion expressing various motions (motion changing mass, motion with resistance) (May 31)
1-7. Conclusion (June 7)s

Ⅱ. Force, work and energy
- "Understanding the relationship between "force and work" "work and energy" "energy and force"
2-1. force and work (introduction of vector inner product and linear integration) (June 14)
2-2. Kinetic energy (Understanding the relationship between kinetic energy and work based on equation of motion) (June 21)
2-3. Conservation force and potential (Understand the relationship between condition of the conservation force and potential) (June 28)
2-4. Conservation law of mechanical energy (prove the conservation law of mechanical energy by taking a falling motion of object as an example) (July 5)
2-5. Confirmation of conservation law of mechanical energy (Confirm the conservation law of mechanical energy based on experiment result of fall motion of object(1-5) ) (July 12)
