Credits: 4

Prerequisite(s): Concurrent registration with PHY 2030 is recommended. MTH 1120 or equivalent; and completion of either ENG 1009 or ENG 1010 or the General Studies requirement in Oral Communication.

Description: This first term of a one-year sequence covers the fundamentals of physics in a basic but thorough manner. The experimental aspects of physics are emphasized in the classroom and in the laboratory. Considerable time is devoted to problem-solving. Course content includes measurement, vectors, kinematics, dynamics, gravitation, energy, momentum, rotational motion, properties of matter, heat, thermal properties of matter, thermodynamics, wave motion and sound. The course is algebra-based.
