PHY 101 : Force, Motion, and Energy

Upon completion of the course students will be able to:

• Apply knowledge of mechanics and vectors to explain natural physical processes and related technological advances.
• Use an understanding of elementary mathematics along with physical principles to effectively solve problems encountered in everyday life, further study in science, and in the professional world.
• Design experiments and acquire data in order to explore physical principles, effectively communicate results, and critically evaluate related scientific studies.
• Assess the contributions of physics to our evolving understanding of global change and sustainability while placing the development of physics in its historical and cultural context.
