This course is approved for Technology Applications credit. An applied physics course designed to provide a study in force, work, rate, resistance, energy, power, and force transformers as applied to mechanical, fluid, thermal, and electrical energy that comprise simple and technological devices and equipment. The course reinforces the mathematics applications a student needs to understand to apply the principles being studied. A second year applied physics course designed to study momentum, waves, vibrations, energy converters, transducers, radiation, optical systems, and time constants as applied to mechanical, fluid, thermal, and electrical energy systems. The course reinforces the mathematics applications a student needs to understand to apply the principles being studied.
Students pursue new knowledge and solve real-world problems.
Activities include research, data collection, problem-solving, designing, and developing prototypes and working models.
