    Description
    This course is designed for students majoring in a life or medical science, chemistry, or engineering technology, whose university major requires calculus-based physics. Position, velocity, and acceleration of objects are described using vectors. The concepts of mass, force, Newton’s Laws of Motion, momentum, impulse, work, energy, and power are used to describe straight line motion, projectile motion, circular motion, collisions, and explosions. The unit on rotational motion includes torque, moment of inertia, angular momentum, and static equilibrium. Simple harmonic motion, wave mechanics, and fluid mechanics are also covered.
