Physics at Colby Have you ever wondered. . .
Most physics majors work on an independent research problem with a member of the faculty.
Students often travel to conferences on undergraduate research to present papers on their work at Colby. I - Mechanics, Newton's laws, conservation laws, circular motion, and gravity. Labs on falling bodies, forces, collisions, and harmonic motion. This course is an alternative to PH 141 for students who have already had substantial courses in physics and calculus in high school. It covers the same topics as PH 141 but then goes on to cover additional topics in modern physics.
