PH 201L - General Physics I Lab 1 Credit(s)
Prerequisite(s):
WR 115 or designated placement, and
WR 115Q as required
MTH 112Z or higher-level math course, or designated placement
Corequisite(s): PH 201 , PH 201R
Course Description: This is the first term of a three-term algebra-based physics course. Conservation laws and Newtonian mechanics are covered. This includes but is not limited to force and motion, forms of energy (including kinetic potential and various types of internal energy such as rotational, thermal and latent), conservation of momentum, conservation of angular momentum, conservation of energy, Newton’s laws, kinematics, free-body diagrams, net force equations, torque and orbital mechanics. Students must enroll in lecture, laboratory and recitation sections. All three sections are required.
Course Learning Outcomes:
- CLO#1: Apply conservation laws in physics (momentum, angular momentum, energy).
- CLO#2: Apply Newton’s laws (inertia, force, mass, acceleration, action, reaction).
- CLO#3: Interpret laboratory data to draw conclusions about general physics experiments. (ILO: Critical Thinking)
Typical Required and Recommended Equipment and Materials: Scientific calculator, Ruler, Protractor, Mechanical pencil, Eraser, Engineering paper
ACTI Code and Course Type 100 Lower Division Collegiate
Length of Course: A required state minimum of (30) and a standard RCC delivery of (33) lecture hours per term, not to exceed (36) hours per term.
