Course Objectives The aim of this course is to provide basic knowledge of physics for students to understand living systems via some basic concepts and principles of physics and, to facilitate the interpretation of movements in the human body with mechanical principles, and to teach basic knowledge of Work, Power, energy and electric and magnetic fields.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • explain the subjects and laws of mechanics,
  • explain solid objects and center of mass,
  • examine the properties of movement and the forces that occur in the body,
  • define the basic electric fields, electric potential,
  • list the basic information about electric current and magnetism.
Course Description Within the scope of this course; measurement and unit systems, mechanics and its basic concepts, mechanical properties of matter, features of translational and rotational movements, mechanical properties of skeletal muscle-joint-bone, examination of forces in the body, static balance, work-power and energy, electric fields, electrical potential, direct and alternating current circuits, magnetism, electromagnetic induction will be studied.
