PHY118 — Physics For The Health Sciences
PHY 118 - Physics For The Health Sciences PHY 118 - Physics For The Health Sciences This course is designed to cover topics in physics specifically related to the health science field. The topics covered include linear motion, Newton’s Laws, torques, energy, momentum, conservation laws; temperature and heat, changes of state; electric fields, Ohm’s law, DC circuits, magnetic field, electromagnetic induction, motion of charges in magnetic fields; wave motion, electromagnetic spectrum. Basic principles are applied to solve realistic problems using algebra and elementary trigonometry. Describe, in qualitative terms, the laws of Physics and related concepts. Relate fundamental Physics principles to observations and situations encountered in the Health Sciences. Interpret and draw inferences using those mathematical models (functions, graphs, tables) commonly encountered in a physics for health sciences course. Employ methods of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, or statistics to solve application problems commonly encountered in a physics for health sciences course.
