Description
Students examine a range of physics topics, including SI units, vectors, kinematics, mechanics (Newton's laws), circular motion, work, energy, and other topics the instructor chooses. They also learn how to use graphs and vectors to describe and predict phenomena. Students master the basics of measurement, data acquisition, and reporting conclusions in the weekly laboratory sessions.
This is an introductory course for students with Physics 11 or equivalent.
Prerequisite(s): One of: A minimum "B" grade in Physics 11, a minimum "C" grade in Physics 12 or PHYS 1114, or a satisfactory score on the Physics Diagnostic test; and one of the following: a minimum "C" grade in precalculus 12 or MATH 1152, a minimum "C-" grade in either MATH 0120, MATH 1153, or MATH 1170.
Note: Math 0120, 1152, 1153, or 1170 may be taken concurrently with PHYS 1118.
