Position, velocity, and acceleration of objects are described using vectors. Concepts of mass, force, Newton’s Laws of Motion, momentum, and impulse are used to describe straight line motion, projectile motion, circular motion, collisions, and explosions. In the laboratory, microcomputers with motion detectors and force probes are used to study the concepts of velocity and acceleration, and Newton’s Laws of Motion. Graphical representations of motion - velocity-time graphs, acceleration-time graphs, and force-time graphs - are emphasized.Usually HeldMon Wed 2:30pm–3:45pm, Mon Wed 9:30am–10:50am, Mon 11:00am–1:50pm, Mon 2:00pm–4:50pm
