5.00 Credits
This is a course in the fundamental principles of mechanics for physics majors and engineers. Topics treated include vectors, equilibrium, kinematics and dynamics of a particle, energy, momentum, rotation, elasticity, simple harmonic motion and the behavior of fluids. Related laboratory and demonstrations. This course and PHYS 178 provide a two-quarter sequence in physical science that will fulfill the elective requirement for the Associate of Science degree. Students enrolled in distance versions of this course will be required to come to campus for an orientation meeting and completion of certain exams and laboratories. Laboratories are generally done on an every other week basis on campus.
