PHY2053 — Physics (without Calculus) 1
This course is the first in a two-part series intended for non-physics majors, offering an algebra and trigonometry approach to topics such as kinematics, dynamics, energy, momentum, rotational motion, fluid dynamics, oscillatory motion, and waves. The course fosters analytical and critical thinking skills to promote a sci - entific understanding of the real world. Student learning outcomes: students will solve analytical problems describing dif - ferent types of motion, including trans - lational, rotational, and simple harmonic motion using algebra and trigonometry; students will apply Newton's laws, and conservation laws by using algebra and trigonometry to solve analytical problems of mechanics; students will identify and analyze relevant information presented in various formats such as graphs, tables, diagrams, and/or mathematical formula - tions; and students will solve real world problems using critical thinking skills and knowledge developed from this course.
Prerequisites: MAC 1114, MAC 1147
