PHY 201 - College Physics I

4.00 credits.

Calculus-based introduction to the basic concepts of classical mechanics, to include kinematics and dynamics (linear and rotational motion, work and energy, impulse and momentum), friction, statics, universal gravitation, and relativity. Students will write several MATLAB programs. *Prerequisite(s): A grade of C- or above in MA 121 or PHY 120. *Corequisite(s): PHY 201L. Students who have credit for PHY 101 may not enroll in this course for credit. Hours: combined lecture/discussion 4, laboratory 2. Spring semester. This course fulfills the Natural and Physical Science – Lab Science area of understanding for programs where PHY 201 is a required course within the academic program.
