COURSE DESCRIPTION This is an algebra-based physics course designed to introduce students to ideas of measurements, units, motion, force, energy, momentum, rotation, and fluids. Topics include analyzing the motion of physical systems including objects in free-fall, objects moving at a constant velocity, objects moving with constant acceleration, collisions between multiple objects, and systems undergoing rotation. During the lab component of the course, students will design and carryout experiments, collect and analyze data, and communicate experimental results. Prerequisites: MAT 100, MAT 103, MAT 113, or MAT 204 with “C” or better.
