It provides a thorough basis in mechanics, kinematics, work, energy, properties of matter, heat, and vibrations. The course assumes no previous physics study, but makes extensive use of algebra, trigonometry, geometry, and calculus, as appropriate. The laboratory provides applications of physics principles to measurements of translational motion, forces, torques, rotational systems, and heat. Physics 130 is not open to students with credit in Physics 140.
