PHY1720 — Mechanics-Heat
Students continue investigations into mechanics with an extensive treatment of rotating systems and rigid bodies, including solving problems which use angular momentum, torque, center of mass and moment of inertia concepts. They will spend the majority of the semester exploring simple harmonic oscillators, wave motion, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and gravitation. Students' awareness of physics in everyday life will continue to expand. A tutorial session is available and strongly recommended. Prerequisite: PHY 1710; Corequisite: MAT 1720; Eligibility: ENG 1530. Campus and term: J occasionally
