PHY090 — Preparatory Physics
PHY 090 - Preparatory Physics PHY 090 - Preparatory Physics In this course, students will learn how to apply basic numerical, algebraic, and trigonometric procedures to the solution of physical problems. Topics are selected from the fields of mechanics, heat, wave motion, electricity, optics, and electromagnetic radiation. Numerous laboratory exercises and in-class activities are integrated into the course to reinforce understanding of the physical principles. The course is designed for students who have not had high school physics, or need a basic introduction to physics before taking higher level physics or technology courses. Perform calculations with inputs of differing accuracy and state the result with the appropriate number of significant figures. Demonstrate a fundamental understanding of data measurement, units, and unit conversions.
