PHY-1010 Introductory Physics I Credits 4 This course introduces the student to fundamental concepts and basic laws of classical mechanics, including laws of motion, force, energy, momentum, gravitation, heat, and thermodynamics using an algebra-based approach. PHY 1010 generally satisfies the requirement for many pre-professional programs (such as for pharmacy schools) and satisfies the science general education course requirement. This course is not intended for science/engineering majors. Prerequisite(s): MAT-1350 with grade of C or higher. EGL-1010 completed or concurrent. 3 class/1 rec/2 lab hours. Course Outcomes
- Distinguish between scalar and vector physical quantities.
- Apply the laws of motion to solve kinematics problems for motions in one and two dimensions.
- Apply the concepts of force, gravitation, momentum, and energy to solve problems in basic mechanics and thermodynamics.
- Use the concepts of pressure, buoyancy, and continuity to solve problems in basic fluid mechanics.
- Investigate the behavior of physical systems in the lab and report any discrepancy between the experimental behavior/results and the expected behavior/results.
