PHY 210 - General Physics I

Institution:

Lehigh Carbon Community College

Subject:

Physics

Description:

This calculus-based physics course provides an in-depth study of mechanics and heat. Major topics in mechanics are measurement, vectors, friction, equilibrium of a particle and a rigid body, description of motion in a straight line and in a plane, Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation, work and energy, momentum, and elastic properties of solids. Major topics in heat are temperature and expansion, heat measurements, heat transfer, thermodynamics, and kinetic-molecular theory. The laboratory supports the theory and emphasizes experimental techniques and error analysis. Computers are used extensively in the laboratory for data acquisition and analysis.
