Offered by Politecnico di Milano,
Introduzione alla fisica sperimentale: meccanica, termodinamica (POK)

Il corso affronta le tematiche della meccanica e della termodinamica partendo dall’applicazione del metodo sperimentale, per prepararsi al meglio all'ingresso all'università.
The course addresses the thematic of Mechanics and thermodynamics starting from the applications of the experimental method, to better prepare to start the college experience with the fundamental knowledge.

Il corso è strutturato in macro-argomenti:

  • meccanica (3 settimane)

. cinematica del punto materiale ed esempi di moti
. dinamica del punto materiale ed esempi di forze
. lavoro, energia, urti e gravitazione universale

  • termodinamica (2 settimane)

. cinematica e dinamica dei liquidi ideali
. temperatura, gas ideali, calore, macchine termiche ed entropia

All’interno di ogni settimana si ritrovano video relativi a lezioni, esercizi ed approfondimenti sulle diverse tematiche, nonché quiz a risposta chiusa allo scopo di fornire allo studente l’opportunità di un primo feedback di auto-valutazione. Ognuno dei macro-argomenti si chiude con un quiz riepilogativo per verificare l’acquisizione delle nozioni presentate.
Alla chiusura di questo corso verrà attivata una nuova edizione.

Engineering

This MOOC will provide you with the essential skills and knowledge to address the energy management process in real estate. The figure of the Energy Manager (EM), introduced in the United States in the early 1970s, during the first oil crisis, brought to light the need to get more work out of less energy. In Italy, this figure was officially introduced by Law 308/82, but had its first strong impulse thanks to Law 10/91, aimed at implementing the National Energy Plan on the rational use of energy, energy saving and the development of renewable energy sources.

This course is designed to introduce students to the issues of energy in the 21st century – including food and fuels – which are inseparably linked – and will discuss energy production and utilization from the biology, engineering, economics, climate science, and social science perspectives. This course will cover the current production and utilization of energy, as well as the consequences of this use, examining finite fossil energy reserves, how food and energy are linked, impacts on the environment and climate, and the social and economic impacts of our present energy and food production and use.

Sci: Energy & Earth Sciences Sci: Physical & Earth Sciences

Earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain building, ice ages, landslides, floods, life evolution, plate motions—all of these phenomena have interacted over the vast expanses of deep time to sculpt the dynamic planet that we live on today. Planet Earth presents an overview of several aspects of our home, from a geological perspective. We begin with earthquakes—what they are, what causes them, what effects they have, and what we can do about them. We will emphasize that plate tectonics—the grand unifying theory of geology—explains how the map of our planet's surface has changed radically over geologic time, and why present-day geologic activity—including a variety of devastating natural disasters such as earthquakes—occur where they do. We consider volcanoes, types of eruptions, and typical rocks found there.

Most of the phenomena in the world around you are, at the fundamental level, based on physics, and much of physics is based on mechanics. Mechanics begins by quantifying motion, and then explaining it in terms of forces, energy and momentum. This allows us to analyse the operation of many familiar phenomena around us, but also the mechanics of planets, stars and galaxies.

Indaghiamo assieme una delle leggi fisiche più belle dell’Universo, ma non solo! Sveliamo i concetti fondamentali della meccanica orbitale, del volo e della propulsione aerospaziale. La forza di gravità è ciò che dà la forma ad ogni oggetto e corpo presente nell’Universo. I pianeti stessi e le loro orbite sono soggetti a questa forza tanto potente quanto misteriosa, come scoprirete seguendo queste lezioni.
