Newton's laws of motion, the concept of force, the principle of superposition. 4. Conservation laws: energy and momentum. 5. Mechanics of a rigid body: force couples, moment of force, center of gravity, stability 6. Mechanical oscilations: kinematics, dynamics, energy of oscillating motion; undamped and damped oscillations. 7. Mechanical waves, sound, Doppler effect. 8. Electrostatic field. Electric current in conductors. Electrical circuit. 9. Magnetic field and materials. 10. Electromagnetic field. 11. Basic principles of Geometric Optics. Properties of light. 12. Structure and state of matter. Thermal properties. 13. Fluid mechanics: pressure in liquids and gases, Archimedes' law, fluid flow. 14. Basic ideas about the world around us - from the cosmic to the subatomic scale.
