PHY222 — Mechanics II
A course which begins with a study of particle motion and extends into rigid body motion. The kinematics of motion is explored and dynamic kinetic and impulsemomentum concepts are used to solve the equations of motion. Prerequisite: PHY 221 and MAT 205 or concurrent enrollment in MAT 205. Semester Hour(s): 3 hour(s) 334 2026 - 2027 Programs Lecture / Lab Hours: 3 lec/week Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI): EGR 943 Footnotes * Students with no programming experience should take CIS 150 during the first semester as it is a prerequisite for CIS 207. **Students who have not completed high school physics should take PHY 201 during the first semester as it is a prerequisite for PHY 211. PRE-PHYSICAL THERAPY/OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY Associate in Science Degree with a Concentration in Pre-Physical Therapy / Occupational Therapy (830) The concentration in Pre-Physical Therapy/Occupational Therapy prepares students to transfer to four-year universities to pursue a bachelor’s degree in health science, biology, kinesiology, and/or science-related fields. Physical Therapists improve mobility, relieve pain, and prevent or limit permanent disabilities of individuals due to injury or disease. Physical Therapists work with accident victims as well as individuals who suffer from multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, nerve injuries, burns, amputations, head injuries, fractures, lower back pain, arthritis, and heart disease. Occupational Therapists assist individuals who have mentally, physically
