PHYS 1111: Introductory Physics I

3 Credit Hours

Prerequisite: MATH 1113 or MATH 1190 or MATH 1179
This is an introductory algebra and trigonometry-based course on classical mechanics, thermodynamics, and waves. The student will be able to apply Newton’s laws and conservation of energy and momentum to various problems in kinematics and dynamics, use the law of universal gravitation to falling objects and orbital motion, describe simple harmonic motion, oscillations, and waves, and explain temperature, heat, and entropy.
