Institution:

Bentley University

Subject:

Description:

Affords the students the opportunity to rationally evaluate and appreciate the significance of high technology developments and their potential business, industrial and political ramifications in today's society. A conceptual mastery of the topics of Newtonian physics is fostered through the lecture/laboratory/workshop format. Labs consist of a combination of hands-on experiments and multimedia computer simulations. Insights into how the concepts of force, motion and energy are routinely used to enrich and enhance lives include applications of indirect measurement, leg traction, throwing a curve ball, projectile launching, vehicular collisions, braking of a car, artificial gravity in a space station and black holes.
