PHY

6 courses with the subject PHY, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.

PHY 101College Physics I4

A vector study of mechanics including static and dynamic equilibrium, kinematics and dynamics of plane motion, friction, gravity, energy, work, power, impulse, and momentum. The kinetic model of matter, thermometry, and thermal processes is also covered in lecture and laboratory.
