Course Description

The Physics Practicum 1 course is intended to introduce and train students in science practicum related to Basic Physics 1 course material. In this practicum, students will study the introduction of length measuring instruments, force balance, motion and force, gravitational force, projectile motion, mechanical energy in skater systems, Hooke‘s law, mathematical pendulums, mechanical waves, and ideal gases. Providing practicums is expected to strengthen students‘ understanding of physical phenomena related to kinematics, dynamics, waves and thermodynamics. After taking this practicum course, students can understand the concepts of mechanics and thermodynamics through the virtual laboratory which is used during practicums during the Covid-19 pandemic. Students are also expected to be able to see the relationship between theory and practice in general.
