PHY 2048H - Honors Physics I

Institution:

St. Petersburg College

Subject:

Description:

3 credits Prerequisite: (MAC 2311 or MAC 2311H) or (acceptance into the Honors College ) or approval of the Science Program Director . Corequisite: PHY 1048LH. This course includes theory of mechanics: vectors; force; motion; energy; rotation of rigid bodies; elastic properties; vibratory motion, properties of fluids; molecular theory of matter. It also includes theory of heat; heat transfer; thermodynamics; sound and wave motion phenomena; use of Calculus in problem solving. This course will employ interactive learning and research projects beyond the typical Physics course. The research projects will include a term paper in Special Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, or Renewable Energy. The interactive learning will include the use of computer animations with physics content demonstrating their understanding without as much guidance by using interactive techniques, critical thinking, and conceptual understanding to solve problems. In this course students will learn the underlying concepts that give them a much deeper understanding of the material. This course is designed for physics majors and for engineering students. 47 contact hours.
