PH 2010A - Physics I-Mechanics

4 lecture hours 3 lab hours 4 credits
This course is a calculus based introduction to mechanics. Topics include: linear and rotational kinematics and dynamics, work, energy, and momentum. The mathematical level of this course includes the use of vector algebra and elementary applications of differential and integral calculus. The laboratory part of the course emphasizes measurement precision, experimental technique, analysis of data, and report writing. Together with Physics II and Physics III (PH 2020  and PH 2030 ), this course provides one year of university-level physics. No more than four credits can be counted in any combination with PH 113  or PH 130 . This course is designed for students who did not take physics in high school or need a refresher course because they took physics in the past. (prereq: MA 136  or MA 136A , coreq: MA 137  or MA 137A  or MA 1410H ; CH 200  or CH 2100H )
