PHYS 1110
Physics for Physical Sci. I
This course emphasizes the fundamentals of mechanics and is intended as a first course in physics for, but not restricted to, students considering degrees in physics, chemistry, mathematics and computer science. Topics include vectors, kinematics, Newton's laws of motion, gravitation, circular motion, static equilibrium, torque, momentum, conservation of energy and an introduction to special relativity. NOTE: Proficiency in High School algebra, trigonometry and graphing is expected. Grade 12 Physics is highly recommended. It is required that Mathematics 1910 be taken at least concurrently. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory or tutorial per week NOTE: Students may obtain credit for Physics 1210 OR 1110 but not both.
