The Physics Syllabus/ Study Material of the B.Sc Program offered by Kuvempu University is as follows:

First Semester ( Paper-I)
Mechanics, Gravitation, Rotational Motion and Properties of Matter


1. INTRODUCTION:
Physics- nature, scope and importance as fundamental science. Interconnection between physics and technology. Impact of physics and technology on society


2. PLANAR MOTION:
Review of vector algebra- vector addition, multiplication by a scalar, Scalar and Vector product. Derivative of a rotation of vector of a constant magnitude. Review of polar coordinates, radial and transverse components of velocity and acceleration – application to uniform circular motion, centripetal force, areal velocity (derivation)


3. FRAMES OF REFERENCE:
Concept of point mass, Newton’s law of motion. Frames in uniform motion – Galilean transformation – Inertial frames – Galilean principle of relativity (explanation using various examples). Noninertial frames – Accelerated frames (uniform acceleration) – Invalidity of Newton’s laws – concept of pseudo forces – examples (for – ma*). Measurement of acceleration using plumb line (explanation with necessary derivation). Rotating frames of reference – expression (- d/dt)fixed = (- d/dt)rotating + ω x . (no derivation) force in fixed frame(derivation). Centrifugal and Coriolis forces. Discussion of the earth as an inertial frame – Foucault pendulum, direction of the cyclones. Weightlessness. Centrifugal force as a pseudo force using a conical pendulum


4. FORCE AND MOTION:
Spring - mass system, projectile with linear resistance, Free body diagram (example – simple pendulum), Frictional forces (origin- static and kinetic). Central forces – characteristics of central motion


5. SYSTEMS OF PARTICLES:
Newton’s laws for a system of particles – centre of mass (definition) – External and internal forces – results about total momentum and motion of CM, Conservation of linear momentum – impulsive motion. Rocket motion – expression for instantaneous and final velocities – effect of earth’s gravity – multi stage rockets – brief account of Indian rockets. Angular momentum – relation between the torque and momentum, theorems on total angular momentum about CM. conservation of angular momentum - examples. Work done by a variable force, work – energy theorem – conservative force fields, potential energy - conservation of energy, examples – oscillation of a loaded spiral spring Atwood machine (calculation of acceleration using conservation of energy). Collisions: Elastic and inelastic collisions – elastic head on collision – oblique collision of identical masses in a plane
