4 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 211College Physics I4
Three hours lecture and three hours lab each week; meets the Peace Core Natural Sciences requirement This is the first part of a two-semester introductory sequence in algebra-based physics with a corresponding laboratory. Topics include mechanics, force, motion, Newton’s Laws, velocity, acceleration, momentum, collisions, circular motion, rotational motion (oscillations, pendulums), simple harmonic motion, energy, conservation laws, and work. Offered fall.
“C” or better in MAT 111 or placement in MAT 112 or above
PHY 212College Physics II4
Three hours lecture and three hours lab each week This is the second part of a two-semester introductory sequence in non-calculus physics, with a corresponding laboratory.
