PHYS 1010 6.0 Physics

I(a) Motion: Vectors

I (b) Position, displacement, velocity, acceleration

(introduces basic differential and integral calculus ideas)

II(a) Forces

II(b) Newton's 2nd law

III(a) Oscillations

III(b) Collisions (momentum conservation)

III(c) Work, Energy, Power

IV Rotational motion (torque, angular momentum)

Extra: Gases, fluids and elasticity

V(a) Static electricity (Coulomb law, E field)

V(b) Fundamentals of circuits

VI Electromagnetism and applications (B field, induction)

VII Waves (mechanical, sound, electromagnetic)

VIII Wave Optics

IX Modern Physics: particle or wave?

Summary: the course provides an understanding of the following: particle model for motion (kinematics and dynamics); field concepts (E and B); waves. Thermal physics is skipped for lack of time - it is covered in CHEM 1000. Less is More. This course is about UNDERSTANDING Physics.
