11 courses with the subject PHYS, 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.
PHYS 101Technical Physics I4
basic principles of physics including scalars and vectors, displacement velocity and acceleration, force, work, energy, momentum, circular and rotational motion. (GE02)
Recommended background: MATH 104 or MATH 114 (or both concurrently), high school physics. For students with satisfactory experience in physics. Includes kinematics in one and two dimensions, Newton’s Laws of motion, free body diagrams, work-energy theorem, conservation of energy and linear momentum, center of mass, centripetal acceleration, translations and rotations of rigid bodies, torque and equilibrium. (GE02), (NSCI)
Recommended background: MATH 104 or MATH 114 and high school physics. Continuation of PHYS 103. Course content includes Kirchhoff’s voltage and current rules; reactance and resonance; electromagnetism, Faraday’s Law, standing waves, the Doppler effect, reflection and refraction, mirror and lens ray diagrams, interference, diffraction and polarization. (GE02), (NSCI)
sequence for engineering students and science or math majors with strong mathematics background. Study of Newton’s Laws, work and energy, gravitation of falling bodies, motion in a plane, momentum, rotation of a rigid body, elasticity, periodic motion, hydrostatics, fluids in motions, temperature, heat and energy, heat transfer, change of state and thermodynamic laws. (GE02), (NSCI)
