Course level: Undergraduate Course description: Mechanics and Heat Physics I includes the study of matter and motion, mass and energy. It tells you how and why things move. It is important for everyone from technicians to doctors to know why something happens. Problem solving skills that you learn in Physics will help you in other courses, as will the skills in laboratory observation and analysis. In mechanics you will learn about forces and the accelerations they produce, and the conservation laws for energy and momentum. In thermodynamics you will learn how heat energy affects the properties of matter. This includes topics that range from how atoms bounce around on a hot day to the operation of a gasoline engine. Physics provides the underlying concepts used in technologies and other sciences. Basic principles are applied to solve realistic problems, using algebra and elementary trigonometry. This course is designed for Liberal Arts, Computer Science, Technology Students and others with an interest in learning why things happen the way they do. The laboratory portion of the course emphasizes real world physical measurements with a "do at home" kit of lab equipment.
