PHY 201: GENERAL PHYSICS I - TRIGONOMETRY BASED

Class Program
Credits 4

This course is designed to cover general physics using college algebra and basic trigonometry. Specific topics include kinematics, Newton’s laws of motion,
conservation of momentum and energy, and the laws of thermodynamics. The contributions of physics to modern technology and society are considered. A laboratory
is required.

Prerequisites

MTH 113 with a minimum grade of C and eligible for ENG 101.

Notes
Part of the Alabama General Studies Curricula for Areas I-IV.
