General Physics I Lab

Catalog description

Laboratory experiments will demonstrate principles studied during lecture sessions. These experiments demonstrate principles in the areas of rotational motion, momentum, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, friction and conservation of mechanical energy. A knowledge of algebra, trigonometry, and vectors is necessary for success in this class. Should students not be prepared to succeed in general physics I lab, it is recommended that students complete MATH-170C or MATH-180C before taking general physics I lab. This course fulfills the core curriculum laboratory requirement in the natural sciences. Laboratory three hours. Lab fee.
