PS 44 - Introduction to Motion

Institution:

Chaffey College

Subject:

Description:

Class hours: 48-54 lecture, 48-54 laboratory. Prerequisite: Mathematics 61. Transfer Credit: CSU; UC credit limitations. See counselor. Introduction to mechanics for students majoring in a physical science or engineering. Position, velocity, and acceleration of objects are described using vectors. Concepts of mass, force, Newton's Laws of Motion, momentum, and impulse are used to describe straight line motion, projectile motion, circular motion, collisions, and explosions. In the laboratory, microcomputers with motion detectors and force probes are used to study the concepts of velocity and acceleration, and Newton's Laws of Motion. Graphical representation of motion - velocity-time graphs, acceleration-time graphs, and force-time graphs - is emphasized. 1902.00
