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.
