This is a first course in a standard two-semester calculus-based physics sequence that is offered at most universities and colleges for science and engineering majors. The course will introduce students to the fundamental laws of mechanics and oscillations. Topics covered will include kinematic motion in one and two dimensions, Newton’s law, momentum, work and energy, conservation of energy and momentum, rotational motion, force and energy concepts as applied to rotational dynamics, static equilibrium, and brief introduction to elasticity, introduction to universal law of gravitation and Kepler’s laws, and simple harmonic motion. The laboratory component of the course will investigate these concepts.
