Principles of Physics I with Laboratory

Catalog description

Algebra, trigonometry, and differential and integral calculus will be routinely used. Upon completion of this course students will be able to: (1) Demonstrate a conceptual and mathematical knowledge of 1-D and 2-D Kinematics as applied to both linear and rotational motion; (2) Demonstrate a conceptual and mathematical knowledge of Newton's Laws as applied to both linear and rotational motion; (3) Demonstrate a conceptual and mathematical knowledge of Work, Energy, and Power; (4) Demonstrate a conceptual and mathematical knowledge of the Laws of Conservation of Energy, Linear Momentum, and Angular Momentum; (5) Demonstrate a conceptual and mathematical knowledge of Simple Harmonic Motion; (6) Effectively collect and present scientific data gathered through experiment; (7) Use computational and estimation skills to analyze data, construct and interpret charts, graphs, and tables, and compose scientific explanations. This course is also offered through eCore. Plese see ecore.usg.edu for a course description.
