PHYS1050 — Physics for Artists
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, sound, and light physics with related lectures, discussions, demonstrations, and laboratory experiences. 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. 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. 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. 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. Homework, labs, quizzes, and exams during the weeks 4-16. 5. Use rotational equilibrium to solve a problem involving one rigid body and up to three forces for one unknown variable. Homework, labs, quizzes, and exams during the weeks 5-16. 6. Use the Universal Law of Gravity
