PHY 210 - General Physics I

Institution:
Lehigh Carbon Community College
Subject:
Physics
Description:
This calculus-based physics course provides an in-depth study of mechanics and heat. Major topics in mechanics are measurement, vectors, friction, equilibrium of a particle and a rigid body, description of motion in a straight line and in a plane, Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation, work and energy, and momentum. Major topics in heat are temperature and expansion, heat measurements, heat transfer, thermodynamics, and kinetic molecular theory. The laboratory supports the theory and emphasizes experimental techniques and error analysis. Computers are used extensively in the laboratory for data acquisition and analysis.
