Topics include measurement, force, statics, dynamics and motion, work, energy and power, machines, properties of solids and liquids, and the study of heat. In this three credit introductory physics course, the applications and theory of basic physics principles are presented. Extensive problem-solving, laboratory investigation and applications are involved. Topics include basic concepts in electricity,magnetism,optics, atomic and nuclear physics. In this two credit introductory physics course the applications and theory of basic physics principles are presented.
Emphasis is on problem-solving and laboratory investigation.
Topics include basic concepts in electricity,magnetism,optics, atomic and nuclear physics. This course introduces the student to matter and its physical properties, energy and its relation to mechanics and light, and the basic principles of electricity. Qualitative and quantitative relationships of these properties will be studied. Good mathematical skills are required. The natural laws and processes dealing with matter and energy are covered.
