PHYS1010 — Introductory Physics
Academic Division: Business, Industry and Technology Academic Discipline: Physics Assistant Dean: Vincent Palombo PhD 3 Credit(s) This course will provide students with a general understanding, knowledge, and awareness of the physical world around them. Topics will introduce the concepts of mechanical, electrical and atomic physics with discussions, lectures, and laboratory experiences related to the principles of mechanics, heat, light, sound, electricity, magnetism, and atomic structure. This course meets the requirements for OTM in Natural Sciences TMNS. UG 3 Lab Hour(s) 2 Lecture Hour(s); Required Calculate one or two missing variables, given a problem in one dimension (involving time, position, velocity, and acceleration) of a single object. Class discussions, homework, labs, quizzes, and exams during the weeks 1-16. 2. Use Newton’s laws of motion to identify the reaction force, to solve a given problem involving the force interaction of two objects. Class discussions, homework, labs, quizzes, and exams during the weeks 1-16. 3. Use Newton’s laws of motion to calculate the missing variables, including force, given a problem involving one mass, with a constant acceleration. Class discussions, homework, labs, quizzes, and exams during the weeks 3-16. 4. Use conservation of energy to solve a problem involving one object with kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy for one unknown variable. Class discussions, homework, labs, quizzes, and exams during the weeks 4-16
