Physics I

This algebra/trigonometry-based course covers fundamental concepts in mechanics, fluids, and thermodynamics. It begins with an exploration of measurement, scalars, vector arithmetic, and one- and two-dimensional kinematics. The course then delves into Newton’s laws of motion, energy, momentum, universal gravitation, and introduces the elastic properties of materials. It further examines static and dynamic systems in translational and rotational motion. Additional topics include fluid statics and dynamics, ideal gases, heat, temperature, the laws of thermodynamics, entropy, and heat engines.

Module Breakdown:

In this 4-credit, 12-week course, you will explore 15 modules covering a wide range of physics topics. Each module includes a lecture, sample documentation, reflections, self-directed activities, quizzes, and a summary to reinforce learning.
