| Overall Educational Objective | To acquire a solid understanding of the subjects and concepts including the description of motion, Newton's Laws, conservation principles (energy and momentum) and dynamics of rotation covered in the related Physics I course through hands-on experiments in laboratory. | ||||||
| Course Description | This laboratory course includes the experiments related to mechanics. The laboratory experiments covered in this course are based on the measurement of time, period and force using proper tools. These measurements are used in order to determine the speed, velocity, acceleration and period of the objects in motion. With the help of physics laws, some physical quantities are determined following these measurements compared with those obtained from theoretical approaches. | ||||||
| Course Description in Turkish | Bu laboratuvar dersi mekanik deneylerini içermektedir. Laboratuvarda yer alan deneyler zaman, periyot, kuvvet ölçümleri temellinde olup, bu ölçümler ve fizik yasaları kullanılarak hareket eden cisimlerin, hızı, momentumu, ivmesi ve erişim mesafesi gibi büyüklükler hesaplanacaktır. Hesaplanan bu nicelikler yardımıyla, bazı fiziksel parametreler deneysel olarak belirlenecek ve teori ile karşılaştırılacaktır. |

| Course Administration |
giza@mef.edu.tr Students are expected to attend min. 80% of the labs. There are only two make-ups for the missed labs. The attendance performance is going to be reflected as 50% to the final grades. After makeups, if the student has less than 7 experiments performed, he will fail the course. The students will get 10% reduction from the attendance score for the experiment she/he misses. For instance, if a student finishes the lab. course with the min. of 7 experiments, he will receive 40% from the attendance score instead of 50%. Other 50% contribution to the final grade comes from the final exam. The students are expected to pursue in this class with honesty and integrity. Disciplinary action will be pursued in all instances if academic dishonesty and cheating has occurred. Students with disabilities should consult the instructor for their special needs. For any question, please consult the instructor via mail (giza@mef.edu.tr). |
