Description
This is part one of an algebra-based physics sequence intended for non-physical science majors. Topics include linear and rotational motion, forces, kinetic and potential energy, momentum, and translational and rotational equilibrium. Lab work required. Prerequisites: MATH 078E; appropriate placement score or grade of C or higher in ENGL 087; or permission of the Science Division Chair or designee. Recommended: READ 088 or higher; basic knowledge of trigonometry. Formerly PHYS 121, College Physics I. |
Intended Learning Outcomes
Apply Newton's Laws as they relate to motion and forces.
Describe the significance of conservation laws in physics; particularly conservation of energy and momentum.
Apply Newton's Laws to situations where equilibrium exists.
Solve numerical problems (algebra and trigonometry based) related to the above mentioned concepts.
Investigate Newton's Law and the Conservation Laws by designing and performing laboratory experiments.
