Course content
1. Basic means of physical description of reality (very brief overview of the development of physics, scalar and vector quantities, vector addition, SI system, unit conversions, multiples and parts, structure of the atom, electron configuration of the atomic shell, particle model of gas, liquid, solid). 2. Kinematics and dynamics of a mass point. Force action of the gravitational field (rectilinear motion, circular motion, Newton's laws, equation of motion, Newton's law of gravity, homogeneous and radial gravitational field, inertial and non-inertial reference frames, inertial forces). 3. Mechanical work, mechanical energy, conservation laws (mechanical work and power, efficiency, momentum and impulse of force, kinetic and potential energy, law of conservation of momentum, law of conservation of energy, shear friction and rolling resistance, resistance of the environment). 4. Mechanics of a rigid body, stress and deformation (moment of force, composition and decomposition of forces, center of gravity, equilibrium conditions, stability, moment of inertia, Steiner's theorem, energy of rotational motion, stress and deformation, Hooke's law, elastic energy). 5. Fluid mechanics. Capillary phenomena (Pascal's law, Archimedes' law, continuity equation and Bernoulli's equation, viscosity, laminar and turbulent flow, volumetric expansion, surface layer of a liquid, capillary phenomena). 6. Mechanical vibrations and waves. Acoustics (kinematics and dynamics of harmonic vibrations, composition of vibrations, damped and forced vibrations, resonance, progressive waves, wave interference, standing waves, propagation of waves in an isotropic medium, reflection, refraction, bending of waves, basic concepts of acoustics). 7. Electric field. Direct current (electric charge, Coulomb's law, radial and homogeneous electric field, force action of the electric field, electric potential and voltage, conductor capacitance, permittivity, electric current, electrical resistance, Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws, current conduction in solids - conductors, insulators, semiconductors, current conduction in liquids, electrolysis, current conduction in gases). 8. Magnetic field. Electromagnetic field. Alternating current (stationary magnetic field and its sources - magnet, conductor with current, coil, magnetic induction, force action of the magnetic field, permeability, non-stationary magnetic field and its sources, electromagnetic induction, electromagnetic field, alternating current circuit with resistor, capacitance of inductance, alternating current power). 9. Light. Ray optics (light as an electromagnetic wave, corpuscular-wave dualism, passage of light radiation through the medium - reflection, refraction, decomposition of light, ray optics - mirror, lens, imaging equations, optical instruments). 10. Wave optics (bending of light, interference phenomena, polarization, photon energy, photoelectric effect). 11. Thermodynamics (kinetic theory of substances, molar quantities, internal energy, heat, laws of thermodynamics, equation of state, processes with an ideal gas, Carnot cycle, heat engine, cooler). 12. Phase transformations. Calorimetry. Phenomena at the gas-liquid interface (temperature, temperature measurement, phase changes, phase diagram of water, calorimetric equation, interface of gas and liquid phases - air humidity, partial pressure of gases, solubility of gases).

Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to unify and supplement the knowledge of high school physics students and to cultivate the ability of students use the means of higher mathematics to physically describe reality. The main emphasis is put on knowledge practically topics that enable students to create a comprehensive picture of the world in accordance with current physical knowledge.
After completing the course, the student demonstrates knowledge of the basic concepts of university physics and is familiar with the use of differential and integral calculus for solving basic physical problems.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of high school mathematics and physics.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination

The student must demonstrate their understanding of the topics covered during the semester and during the final exam. Specific requirements will be communicated to students by their teachers in the first week of the semester.
