Objectives/SLOs for PHYS130 - Physics. Students will be able to...

A. Identify the forces acting on an object.

B. Draw free body diagrams for objects.

C. Apply Newton's laws, at the calculus level, to solve problems involving static equilibrium and accelerated motion in one and two dimensions.

D. Apply the appropriate skill sets, at the calculus level, to problems involving conservation of energy and/or momentum, fluid flow, and rotational motion.

E. Apply the appropriate skill sets, at the calculus level, to problems involving simple harmonic motion and oscillations and waves in elastic media including sound waves in air

 

 

Download the six files to the right after our first meeting. 

ch 01 homework.pdf If you have serious problems with this homework you may want to enroll in a Phys 129 class instead of a Phys 130 class.

dvc/0_130 Lab template.docx

00_130 Lab1 presentation of labs

dvc/_GradeCalculation.

Download for the calculation of uncertainties, used in labs and homework problems. This contains the material of the first lecture. You need it for the first homework. ch 0 Uncertainty Calculations.pdf
Formulas and constants to know in your sleep. ch 01 introductory formulas.pdf

Files based on the lectures and corresponding to the various chapters. Download them as we proceed from chapter to chapter in the order of the files.

I keep making changes as we go along to reflect what I taught you in my lectures. It is important to download these files, print them out, and study them during and after we have covered the material in the class. Much of it uses a more powerful and abstract approach to physics.The more time you spend working with these files and understanding them the better you will be in the class.
