Physics 110
Course Description:
This is an introductory, algebra-based
physics course that satisfies the requirement for life sciences, sport
science, and health care professions. The topics covered in this course
include solid and fluid mechanics, acoustics, and thermodynamics. A second
semester course offered during the spring continues this study looking at
magnetism, electricity, optics, and introductory modern physics. A goal of
this course is to introduce students to the concepts, principles, and
methods used to explain and examine fundamental physical behavior of matter
and energy.
Lecture Meets: MWF from 2:00 to 2:50 in Science 128
Text: Serway and Faughn, College Physics, Enhanced 7th ed.
Laboratory Meets: Thursday (3 hour lab as scheduled) in Science 128
Laboratory Instructor: Kris Thompson
Lab Text: K. W. McLaughlin, Phy 100 and Phy 233 Laboratory Manual, Fall Semester 2007
Link to notes used for the guest
lecture in Dr. Joseph's Physics 210 from Oct 3, 2008
Physics Lecture
on Momentum and Collisions
Not all of these notes were covered in the class.
Prerequisite:
Math 117 or equivalent
Homework:
Homework assignments will be assigned daily and be collected once a week.
Late homework will not be accepted for grading.
Quizzes:
