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 of applicability, and recognize their applications. Define concepts related to physical variables and state how they are measured. Make physical measurements as accurately as the instruments allow Plan, execute, and interpret controlled experiments involving physical variables
