PHYS& 114 General Physics I w/Lab5 credits This course covers kinematics, motion in two-dimensions, force and motion, work and energy, momentum and collisions, circular motion, gravitation, rotational motion, and solids. Includes laboratory.
This class meets the Natural Science with lab general education distribution requirement.
Prerequisites: MATH 98 or MATH 99 (or placement into MATH& 107 or higher)
Course Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:
- Define the basic concepts of introductory mechanical physics
- Describe physical and quantitative relationships between kinetic and potential energy; impulse and momentum; force, mass, and acceleration; inertia and mass; work, power, and energy
- Express, with the use of graphing techniques and analytical means, the relationships among displacement velocity and acceleration
- Solve projectile and force problems using vector analysis
- Define Newton’s Laws of Motion and analytically illustrate how they determine motion in “real-life” examples
- Apply information learned to team laboratory and demonstration exercises
General Education Distribution Area Outcomes Students who successfully complete courses in the Natural Science distribution area will be able to:
- Use the scientific method to analyze natural phenomena and acquire skills to evaluate the accuracy of data/information relative to the natural world
- Identify and locate appropriate resources to answer questions concerning living systems and/or matter
- Apply principles of science in our daily lives
Total Hours: 60 Theory (Lecture) Hours: 40 Guided Practice (Lab or Clinical) Hours: 20
