PHY 1130 — Foundations of Physics
This course is designed for students to develop a post-secondary level comprehensive understanding of fundamental physics concepts and principles. It serves as a foundational course for students preparing for further studies in science, health sciences, engineering, or related fields. Students should have an understanding of the following concepts: various forms of energy, including kinetic and potential energy; be able to define scalar and vector quantities, displacement, velocity and acceleration; the operational definition for force and work; analysis of one-dimensional scalar motion and work using algebraic and graphical techniques and basic math skills involving unit conversion and rearranging of formulas. Students registered in this course should have completed Science 10 or equivalent. Not available for supplemental. Not eligible for Prior Learning Assessment.
