3.00 Credits
This course is the second course of a two-semester sequence covering the fundamental principles of physics and their applications in technology. While this is a problem-solving course, emphasis is placed on conceptual understanding rather than rigorous quantitative analysis. This course is designed for non-science majors. The course will include lab-like components. Topics include waves, energy, atomic physics, nuclear physics, and Einstein's theories of relativity. (Prereq: PHYS1005) (BP/EP) 3 cr MnTC Goal Area 2 & 3
-
4.00 Credits
College Physics I is the first semester course in which the applications, problems, and experiments are selected to illustrate fundamental principles of physics, and demonstrate the relevance of physics to other areas of interest, such as the health science, and engineering technology professions. This first semester of the two-semester sequence is organized around the fundamental principles of forces and interactions, conservation of momentum and conservation of energy. Topics covered include force and motion with applications of Newton's Laws of Motion, gravitational force, angular momentum, torque and equilibrium, work, energy, static and dynamic fluids, and thermal physics. To facilitate learning how to solve problems, cooperative learning methods will be used in this section. (Prereq: Qualifying score on math assessment test OR MATH0980 with a grade of C or better) (BP/EP) 4 cr MnTC Goal Area 3

College Physics II is a second semester course in which the applications, problems, and experiments are selected to illustrate fundamental principles of physics, and demonstrate the relevance of physics to other areas of interest, such as health-related fields and engineering technology. This course focuses on wave phenomena including sound, electricity and magnetism, geometrical optics, and nuclear physics. Examples of applications will be drawn from areas such as medical imaging, human auditory system, human vision, electrical safety, and nuclear medicine. Everyday technologies and phenomena such as musical acoustics, magnetic and optical recording, home wiring, and power generation will be included. (Prereq: Qualifying score on math assessment test OR MATH0980 with a grade of C or better and PHYS2005 with a grade of C or better) (BP/EP) 4 cr MnTC Goal Area 3
