Catalog description

Calculus-based physics course intended for physics, chemistry, and engineering students. This course covers the basics of Newtonian Mechanics including kinematics and dynamics of linear and rotating systems. The energy and momentum approach is also covered in this course as are applications of these concepts to rotational dynamics, simple harmonic oscillations, acoustics, and fluid mechanics. (Fall; Spring; Summer) (Lecture 3 hours; Lab 4 hours.) If you took MT2412 or are concurrently taking MT2412, you will be able to register for this course. (All courses serving as prerequisites in the School of Science, Engineering, and Technology must be completed with a “C” or better in order to advance to the next sequenced course.) An additional fee is associated with this course. See the fee schedule for details at https://www.stmarytx.edu/admission/financial-aid/tuition/.
