Catalog description

A study of motion in its various forms, translational, rotational, and vibrational, that emphasizes their underlying unity, especially the central role of energy and its conservation, and their basis in the fundamental Newtonian laws of motion and Einstein's special relativity. These ideas are used to explain thermal processes. Command of high school algebra, geometry, trigonometry is assumed. Requires the use of introductory calculus. Students may receive credit for only one of PHYS 1003 , 1003H, 1013, or 1013H. 3 hrs. lec., 2 hrs. lab., 1 hr. quiz.
