Description
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. Some prior knowledge of trigonometry is strongly recommended. (3 hours lecture, 2 hours laboratory, and 1-hour problem-solving session per week)
