PHY 111 Physics: Algebra-Based I with Lab

Enables the student to explore the physical world through reasoning, problem solving, mathematics, and experimentation. Examines kinematics, force, circular motion, energy, momentum, torque, rotational dynamics, simple harmonic motion, temperature, heat, and thermodynamics. The concepts and theories presented are explored through demonstrations and hands-on experiments. This is a general physics course that is recommended for the health sciences and other interested students. Students entering engineering or one of the advanced sciences should register for PHY 211.
