Reading Area Community College

Subject:

Physics

Description:

Physics I is an Algebra based physics coursethat introduces students to concepts, principles, terminology, methodologies as related to mechanical, fluid, and thermal systems. Practical examples will be used to illustrate the relationship between physics and other disciplines, and to develop problem solving skills. Topics covered include vector analysis, kinematics, force and motion, two dimensional motion, gravitation, energy, momentum and collisions, heat and calorimetry. Laboratory experiments will emphasize accurate measurements and data manipluatiom using the basic theories of physics. This is the first of a 2-semester physics course sequence.
