PHYS 152 - Principles of Physics II & Lab

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Physics

Description:

A one-year algebra and trigonometry-based introductory physics course using the workshop method. This method combines inquiry-based cooperative learning with the comprehensive use of computer tools for data acquisition, data analysis and mathematical modeling. Kinematics, Newtons Laws of motion, conservation laws (energy, linear momentum, and angular momentum), rotational motion, and oscillations are studied during the first semester. In the second semester, topics in electricity, magnetism, dc circuits, thermodynamics, and geometric optics are covered. Recommended for life science and pre-med students. Prerequisite: MATH 141-142. A passing grade of C- or better in PHYS 151 or PHYS 211 is a prerequisite for PHYS 152.
