PHY 121 - General Physics I

1 course unit

An introductory, calculus-based physics course. Discussions, demonstrations, and problem solving are emphasized during lecture periods. The activity-based component meets in the laboratory where concepts are explored through experimentation and other hands-on activities. Follow-up discussions, demonstrations, and problem solving are emphasized during lecture periods. Topics covered include one and two-dimensional kinematics and dynamics, momentum, energy, rotational kinematics and dynamics.
Pre- or co-requisite: MTH 121 Calculus I
Meets general academic requirement S or SC.
