PHY101 Principles of Physics (4 Credits)
Contact Hours: 5 Lecture Hours: 3 Lab Hours: 2
Survey course that assumes no familiarity with physics. Space, time, matter, motion, force, momentum, mechanical energy, heat, electricity, magnetism, light, units of measure and other concepts are studied descriptively. Basic calculation and problem-solving techniques are introduced, including a brief review of elementary algebra. Laboratory work emphasizes how to read measuring instruments, proper use of measured data in calculations, and how measured data can be used to test theories of physics. OT36 (TMNS and TMNSVDL) approved, effective spring 2022
