PHYS 1041 - Algebra & Trig Based Physics I
4 Credits
Explores topics in motion, mechanics, fluids, and oscillations. This course relies on algebra and trigonometry to explain these physics concepts and solve problems related to them.
Pre-Requisites MATH 1118
Major Content Areas
Force and Motion: 20% Simple Harmonic Motions and Oscillations: 10% Fluids: 10% Rotational Kinematics and Dynamics: 15% Torque: 10% Motion in 1 and 2 dimensions: 15% Energy and Momentum: 20%
Learning Outcomes
Use concepts and laws of physics to extract information from physical situations and laboratory data to make theoretical predictions State laws of physics, and their limits to applicability, and recognize their applications Plan, execute, and interpret controlled experiments involving physical variables Make physical measurements as accurately as the instruments allow Define concepts related to physical variables and state how they are measured
