PHYS 1121 — Physics 1 for Scientists and Engineers
In this first semester of a two-semester sequence covering calculus-based introductory physics, students explore the mathematical description of motion (kinematics) and use forces and torques to analyze the behavior of objects and systems (dynamics)—including applications to both rectilinear motion and rotating systems. The course also explores additional approaches using conservation of linear momentum, conservation of angular momentum and conservation of energy and explores periodic oscillations, thermal physics, universal gravitation and additional applications are explored.
Prerequisites: MATH 1510
