Learning unit contents

Mechanics of particle

  • Language of Physique : basic quantity, dimensions, units
  • Kinématic : Décription of the motions (acceleration, speed, position and the motions rectilinears, harmonic oscillatories, circulars, balistics, relatives)
  • Dynamics: Understand the motion causes (forces, Newton laws, forces budget, fictional forces)
  • Energie: Use for the description of motions and understanding its causes more rapidely (work, conservative forces, potential energy, kinetic énergy, energy conservation, power)

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

  • Learning of fundamental physics laws.
  • Initiation to scientific reasoning: translation of the situation into formal elements, determination of the assumption (orders of magnitude and approximations), choice of the development method, resolution of the problem, solution analysis and interpretation
After completing the course the student is expected to :

  • Read and interpret a graphic (infer some informations)
  • Know and verify the hypothesis for application of the loi or property
  • Use correctly the specific vocabulary
  • Give the units and dimensions of the quantities
  • Transform and make sensitivity analysis of a formula or relationship
  • Remake reasoning already presented during the lectures
  • Carry informations over to a graphic or a diagram
  • Apply the theory to an original situation

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

1) Mathematics addressed during secondary school and during the training sessions:

  • 1st and 2nd degree equations
  • Linear system
  • Trigonometric (sin, cos, tg,..) and exponential functions
  • Simple derivative
  • 10 exponents
  • Vectorial algebra (projection, summation, product,...)
2) French

  • Vocabulary accurancy
  • Right utilisation of the linking words

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching method:



  • Presentation of laws and theorem and preparation to theoritical questions during theoritical courses
  • Presentation and resolution of exercices during tutorials
Additionnal learning activities: Resolution of theoritical questions and exercices proposed on e-Campus

In addition to the remediation organised within the course, the Physics MOOC, developed at ULiège and dealing with mechanics, could constitute an interesting additional resource for students who have difficulties with this subject.
The MOOC is available throughout the academic year free of charge. However, it is necessary to register on the FUN platform in order to access it.
