	Objectives
	THE AIM OF THE COURSE IS A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF NEWTON'S MECHANICS AND THERMODYNAMICS, TOGETHER WITH THE DEVELOPMENT IN THIS CONTEXT OF THE ABILITY TO PERFORM SIMPLE LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. AS FAR AS NEWTON'S MECHANICS IS CONCERNED, THE MAIN OBJECTIVE IS THE ACHIEVEMENT OF A DEEP KNOWLEDGE OF THE DYNAMICS OF A SINGLE PARTICLE AS WELL AS OF A SYSTEM OF PARTICLES AND OF A RIGID BODY, WITH THE GENERAL THEORY BEING EXTENSIVELY ILLUSTRATED WITH EXAMPLES AND APPLICATIONS TO SPECIFIC SYSTEMS. AS CONCERNS THERMODYNAMICS, THE MAIN GOAL IS THE COMPREHENSION OF ITS FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES, WITH APPLICATIONS TO THOSE PHYSICAL PROCESSES, NOT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN MECHANICS, WHICH INVOLVE EXCHANGES OF THERMAL ENERGY IN FORM OF HEAT FLOWS. FINALLY, THE OBJECTIVE OF LABORATORY ACTIVITY IS THE REALIZATION OF SIMPLE EXPERIMENTS OF MECHANICS AND THERMODYNAMICS, TOGETHER WITH A CAREFUL ANALYSIS OF THE EXPERIMENTAL DATA CORRESPONDINGLY OBTAINED. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE COURSE STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ABLE TO: •UNDERSTAND THE PHYSICS UNDERLYING THE BEHAVIOR OF A SINGLE PARTICLE AS WELL AS OF A SYSTEM OF PARTICLES, STARTING FROM THE THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED IN THE COURSE; •IDENTIFY CONSERVATION LAWS, REFERRING TO THEM WHEREVER IS POSSIBLE TO DEEPEN THE COMPREHENSION OF A GIVEN ISSUE; •APPLY THE PREVIOUS IDEAS TO THE RESOLUTION OF SIMPLE EXERCISES OF MECHANICS; •SOLVE SIMPLE EXERCISES OF THERMODYNAMICS ON THE BASIS OF THE FIRST AND THE SECOND PRINCIPLE, WITH A SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THOSE RELATED TO THE BEHAVIOR OF AN IDEAL GAS; •REALIZE AND INTERPRET SIMPLE EXPERIMENTS OF MECHANICS AND THERMODYNAMICS.

	Teaching Methods
	THE MAIN PART OF THE COURSE IS DEVOTED TO THEORETICAL LECTURES FOCUSING ON THE NEWTONIAN FORMULATION OF CLASSICAL MECHANICS, AS WELL AS ON CLASSICAL THERMODYNAMICS. THIS PART IS SUPPLEMENTED BY LECTURES FOCUSING ON THE SOLUTION OF EXERCISES INVOLVING THE DYNAMICS OF A SINGLE PARTICLE AND OF RIGID BODIES, AS WELL AS THE BEHAVIOR OF THERMODYNAMICAL SYSTEMS. THE ACTIVITY IN THE LAB FORESEES LECTURES ABOUT STATISTICS AND DATA ANALYSIS AND THE SETUP OF A FEW EXPERIMENTS ON CLASSICAL MECHANICS

	Verification of learning
	THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE COURSE OBJECTIVES WILL BE CERTIFIED BY A WRITTEN AND ORAL EXAM WITH GRADES ON A SCALE OF 30. THE FINAL SCRIPT INCLUDES EXERCISES TO BE PERFORMED IN 2 HOURS; STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE ORAL EXAM IF THE GRADES OF WRITTEN TEST ARE AT LEAST 18/30. INTERMEDIATE SCRIPT EXAMINATIONS OF 2 HOURS WITH TWO PROBLEMS CAN BE SCHEDULED DURING THE COURSE; THOSE WHO REACH THE FINAL AVERAGE OF AT LEAST 18/30 MAY OPT TO DIRECTLY SUPPORT THE FINAL ORAL EXAM. THE EXAM IS ORGANIZED IN ORDER TO FULLY ASCERTAIN THE CANDIDATE'S KNOWLEDGE WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO HIS/HER ABILITY TO FULLY EXHIBIT CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE TOPICS OF THE STUDIED ARGUMENTS WITH A GOOD LEVEL OF CLARITY IN THE PRESENTATION OF THE TOPICS. IT IS ALSO REQUIRED THAT STUDENTS PREPARE REPORTS DESCRIBING IN AN ACCURATE WAY EACH EXPERIMENT PERFORMED DURING THE LABORATORY ACTIVITY. THE FINAL GRADE COMES FROM THE AVERAGE OF THE GRADES OBTAINED FOR THE TWO PARTS OF THE COURSE, WEIGHTED BY THE NUMEBR OF CFU ASSOCIATED TO THEM (7 FOR THE HTEORETICAL PART, 2 FOR THE LABORATORY PART). A BONUS UP TO A MAXIMUM OF 3 POINTS CAN BE ADDED, DEPENDING ON HOW CLEARLY THE ARGUMENTS ARE SET OUT IN THE ORAL EXAMINATION.
