Physics I: Advanced Mechanics

Catalog description

An introduction to the fundamentals of physics, Classical Mechanics. Topics include the concepts of force, energy and work applied to the kinematics and dynamics of particles and rigid bodies. This course is designed for students who are interested in careers in physical science and engineering and who are well prepared to take a more advanced course in introductory physics. Course content expands on the content of A PHY 140 and T PHY 141. More advanced textbook is used. Students with a strong interest in physical sciences should consider taking A PHY 142 instead of A PHY 140 or T PHY 141. Only one of A PHY 140, T PHY 141, or A PHY 142 may be taken for credit. Prerequisite(s) or corequisite(s): A MAT 111 or A MAT 112.
