In this course, you will learn about: basic concepts of physics that are required for their full development into competent professionals and informed and informing citizens.

MAJOR TOPICS TO BE INCLUDED

• Motion in one dimension with constant and variable acceleration
• Motion in two dimensions including falling bodies and projectile motion
• Newton's three laws of motion including friction, variable forces
• Kinematics and dynamics of circular motion/li>
• Concepts of work and energy
• Conservation laws: energy, linear momentum and angular momentum
• Rotational kinematics and dynamics of extended bodies
• Statics
• Gravitation
• Oscillating motion
• Fluid mechanics
• Thermodynamics

Prerequisite:

It is continuing into its second-semester analog UNIVERSITY PHYSICS II distance learning course PHY 232.

NVCC has also two other physics sequences: PHY 101,102 Introduction to Physics I, II for non-science/liberal arts/ general studies majors, serving as an alternative physics course for those students having little or no algebra math skills, and PHY 201, 202 - algebra-based General College Physics I, II for pre-med, pre-vet, pre-dental, liberal arts and pre-teaching non-science majors.

Prerequisite for PHY 231 is MTH 173 - "Calculus with Analytic Geometry I" and corequisite is MTH 174 - "Calculus with Analytic Geometry II" or equivalent, or division approval.
