PHY 103 - Earth Science Designed to introduce students to an interdisciplinary study in the fundamentals of earth and space science. Major topics include physical and historical geology, astronomy, meteorology and oceanography. Integrates laboratory and classroom work for a total of five class hours per semester week. PHY 106 - Ideas of Physics Introduction to basic physics concepts with emphasis on applications of those principles. Designed for physical therapist assistant as well as liberal arts students.
Course includes demonstrations of physics principles as well as hands-on activities.
As a non-lab course this will not satisfy the liberal arts core. Topics include Newton's laws of motion, work, energy, impulse, momentum, properties of solids, liquids, and gases, heat, and the laws of thermodynamics. Course includes three hours laboratory per week. PHY 111 - General Physics II Continuation of Physics I. Topics include wave phenomena, electricity, magnetism, light, sound, optics, relativity and quantum theory. PHY110 PHY 202 - Mechanics Study of statics, kinematics and the dynamics of particles and rigid bodies with emphasis on the analysis of problems.
