PH 201 General Physics
The first course of a three-course series of introductory college physics for students who plan to transfer credit to a four-year college or university, or for anyone desiring an understanding of physics principles. Covers topics such as mechanics, force and motion in one- and two-dimensions, circular motion, gravitation, energy, and linear and angular momentum. Includes a laboratory component.
Prerequisite
MTH 112 with grade of C or better.
Notes
Lower Division Transfer (LDT) Course
General Education Requirements
AGS Math/Science, AS Physical Science, AAOT Science/Math Lab Course
Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Describe and explain position, velocity, and acceleration in the motion of physical objects. Solve motion problems using algebra and graphical methods. Solve physics problems involving Newton's Laws. Solve problems using conservation laws (i.e. momentum, energy). Evaluate the reasonableness of a calculated, measured and/or presented result. Record desired data with appropriate units and usable format for analysis; use this data to interpret results of a physics experiment in a manner that makes physical sense.
