Description
PHY 0251 is a general physics course which has its main emphasis on mechanics. Among the topics studied are: vectors, kinematics, Newton's laws of motion, torques, momentum, work, and energy. While Physics 0251 often takes a conceptual approach to its topics, a quantitative treatment of the subject is maintained throughout with example problems being demonstrated by the instructor and homework problems being assigned. Instructional activities consist of lectures, class discussions, demonstrations, and some use of audio-visual materials.
