Transfers ToNot transferableDescriptionThe purpose of this course is to prepare students to take the Physics 011 prerequisite challenge test to get into either Physics 001, 006 or 021. The course also prepares students for the higher-level physics sequence and provides students with some basic laboratory experience; as such, it is intended to bridge the gap between Physics 011 and the higher-level courses and is therefore more rigorous than Physics 011. Students are introduced to Kinematics, Dynamics, Fluid Statics and Dynamics, wave resonance and the Doppler Effect as well as the fields of Thermodynamics, Electricity and Optics. Students use the tools of algebra and trigonometry to analyze a wide variety of content and gain a firm foundation in physics concepts as well as problem solving. Some time is afforded to work out problems in class and ask questions from the homework. On the last day of class, students are given the opportunity of taking the Physics 011 prerequisite challenge test.
