PHYS 111

Intended for students who are planning to study engineering science or life sciences. Topics covered include vectors, kinematics, dynamics, work and energy, collisions, rotational kinematics, rotational dynamics, simple harmonic motion, and gravitation. The object is to understand the fundamental laws of mechanics, to learn how to apply the theory to solve related problems, and to develop a feeling for the order of magnitude of physical quantities and uncertainties in real experiments. Note: Students with credit for this course cannot take PHYS 100 or PHYS 101 for further credit. Note: MATH 112 or MATH 118 are corequisites for PHYS 112, although the Physics department will waive this requirement for students with an A in PHYS 111. -- Prerequisite -- One of: Physics 12, PHYS 093, or (prerequisites for MATH 111 and one of Physics 11, PHYS 083, or PHYS 100). -- Corequisite -- None. -- Pre or Corequisite -- MATH 111 is highly recommended.
