PHYS140 — Physics for Scientists and Engineers 1
PHYS 140 - Physics for Scientists and Engineers 1 PHYS 140 - Physics for Scientists and Engineers 1 Total Hours: 90 Students, whose future studies include Science or Engineering, will begin to develop a solid foundation in calculus-based physics. Students will study the mechanics of particles, analyzing problems involving forces and equations of motion in multiple dimensions, conservation laws, rotational kinematics and dynamics. Students will investigate electric fields and electric potential, capacitance, AC and DC circuits, and magnetic fields. Laboratory exercises will allow students to explore these fundamental principles in an applied setting. Students in this situation are encouraged to speak with the Physics and/or Math department to ensure their skills are at a level appropriate for this course.
