This course aims to present the concepts and the basic principles of Classic Mechanics, and relativity, with emphasis on understanding and application in the analysis of real world situations . Students should have the ability to manipulate fundamental concepts and knowi how to apply them to solve problems. Students will be motivated to consider the principles of Mechanics in other areas of knowledge and in technology.
Students should demonstrate good understanding of fundamental mechanical concepts (description of motion, mass, force, linear and angular momentum, energy) and relativity (relativity of space and time, space-time diagrams and relativistic momentum and energy) by correctly solving problems of direct application of these concepts, and by modeling and analysing, in terms of mechanics concepts, real world situations.
Basic trigonometry, elementary algebraic manipulations.

Compulsory presence in 75% of the exercise and computing classes, for all students. Students who had attendance in previous years who show that they unable to attend TP classes cannot take part in the continuous assessment but will not be excluded of "frequência".
Evaluation has Theoretical-practical component (TP) and C
omputational Practice (PC)
Component TP - 90
PC component : 10
Component TP: 2 alternatives
With continuous assessment A
A1. [15 %] Weekly problem solving in TP by
group, with group solution delivery in the
classroom.
Each group delivers 4 times in the semester
the top three problems determine grade.
A2 . [15 %] 4 homework problems in pressigned dates
to e delivered in 36h36h
A3 . [ 20 % ] Mid-term test
A4 [ 40 %] Final test (one first exam date)
B- without continuous assessment
Remedial Exam[90 %]
============================================
PC component : [10 %]
Delivery of computational work done in groups of 4 .
Only for TP component in Exam.[90%]
Grades of computational Practice 2013/14 and 2014/15 are valid for 2015/16 are valide for 2016/2017, except for students who declare that they waive the right to use this grade. In that case only the 2016/17 assesment will be used, even if lower than that of previous years.
The assessment of practical computing is done by filing a report from a group of 4 students at most, on a set of assigned questions ( date to be set)
