General Physics I Lab

Catalog description

This lab course engages students in experimental measurements spanning the areas of mechanics and thermal stresses on matter, with the objective of training students in experimental measurements, data manipulation and analysis, error analysis, deductive thinking, and instrumentation, providing depth to students' understanding of the phenomena taught in PHYS 1171 . Specific experimental measurements include accelerated motion, periodic motion, gravitational force, ballistics, conservation of energy, fluids, and rotational dynamics. This course trains students in experimental measurements, data analysis, error analysis, deductive thinking, and instrumentation.
