Introductory Physics

Students examine a range of physics topics, including SI units, vectors, kinematics, mechanics (Newton's laws), circular motion, work, energy, and other topics the instructor chooses. They also learn how to use graphs and vectors to describe and predict phenomena. Students master the basics of measurement, data acquisition, and reporting conclusions in the weekly laboratory sessions.
This is an introductory course for students with Physics 11 or equivalent.

Prerequisite(s): Physics 11 with a "B" or higher, or Physics 12 with "C" or higher, or PHYS 1114 with "C" or higher, or satisfactory score on Physics Diagnostic Test, and Precalculus 12 with a "C" or higher, or MATH 1152 with a grade of "C" or higher, or MATH 1153 with "C-" or higher, or MATH 1170 "C-" or higher (concurrent).
