Description
PHY 1053C F, S
GENERAL PHYSICS I WITH LAB (4)
3 hours lecture, 2 hours laboratory, and 1-hour problem-solving session per week
Prerequisite: MAC 1105 or equivalent. Some knowledge of trigonometry is strongly recommended.
This course presents mechanics, heat and mechanical waves. Topics covered include: measurements, accelerated motion, Newton's laws, work and energy, momentum, gas laws, motion in plane, rotational motion, motion of rigid bodies, mechanical properties of matter, temperature, thermal properties of matter, thermodynamics, vibratory motion, wave motion, sound. The laboratory experiences are designed to enhance the lecture part to the course, as well as to cover various laboratory techniques.
