PH 101 - Fundamentals of Physics

Institution:

Lane Community College

Subject:

Description:

4 credits Prerequisite: MTH 052 or above with grade of 'C-' or better or pass placement test. The 'Fundamentals of Physics' courses provide an introduction to a broad range of fundamental physics concepts and is recommended for anyone seeking a good basic level of physics literacy. The sequence is designed for non-science majors, but also serves prospective science majors who want to gain a better conceptual grounding before taking General Physics. The sequence also meets physics elective requirements for professional-technical students, as well as providing physics transfer credit for professional-technical students who may transfer to a university; for example, drafting students who may go on to study architecture. Emphasis is on everyday phenomena and conceptual understanding more than calculations. Each course can be taken independently, though the sequential order is recommended when possible. PH 101 is not a prerequisite for PH 102 or PH 103. The classes are readily accepted for transfer credit. The class environment includes labs, demonstrations, discussion and handson activities. PH 101 focuses on the nature of science, data analysis, motion, momentum, energy, gravity, the atomic nature of matter, and the properties of solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas.
