Description
This is part two of an algebra-based physics sequence intended for non-physical science majors. Topics include mechanical properties of matter, behavior of fluids, harmonic motion and waves, basic thermodynamics, and an introduction to electricity. Lab work required. Prerequisite: PHYS& 114. Formerly PHYS 122, College Physics II. |
Intended Learning Outcomes
Describe the behaviors of fluids under the influence of changes in pressure, temperature and mechanical forces.
Apply knowledge of vibrational energy to sound and human hearing.
Describe the transfer of thermal energy as it relates to changes in temperature, state of materials, and work done by heat engines.
Analyze electric field and forces created by electric charge distributions.
Solve numerical problems (algebra and trigonometry based) related to fluids, thermal energy, vibrational motion, and effects of electric charge distributions.
Perform laboratory experiments to investigate: fluids, thermal energy, vibrational motion, and effects of electric charge distributions.
