Topic includes physics principles, reasoning and problem solving techniques.
The focus will be on dimensional and vector analysis and force diagrams. An in-depth look at physical interactions including Newton's Laws, conservation of energy and momentum, electricity and magnetism, heat, wave theory, nuclear transformation, relativity and quantum theories. Mechanics, consisting of motion, statics and dynamics, work, power and energy, impulse, and momentum, will be studied. Cosmic explosions, quasars, and stellar evolution including white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes. Lab component requires numerous night observations.
