PHYS 1116

Physics I: Mechanics and Special Relativity

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

First in a three semester introductory physics sequence. Explores quantitative modeling of the physical world through a study of mechanics. More mathematical and abstract than a typical mechanics course - for example, considers how choice of coordinate system (Cartesian, cylindrical, etc.) influences the nature of kinematical equations. Fast paced. Includes kinematics, dynamics, conservation laws, inertial and noninertial frames, central force fields, periodic motion, and special relativity. At the level of An Introduction to Mechanics by Kleppner and Kolenkow.

When Offered Fall, spring.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: good secondary school physics course, proficiency with basic calculus (at the level of MATH 1910 or MATH 1120), and enjoyment of puzzle-solving.
Forbidden Overlaps Forbidden Overlap: Students may receive credit for only one course in the following group: EAS 1600, PHYS 1101, PHYS 1112, PHYS 1116, PHYS 2207. In addition, students may not receive credit for both PHYS 1116 and PHYS 2216.

Distribution Category (PBS)

Comments More mathematically and conceptually sophisticated than PHYS 1112; intended for students who are comfortable with a deeper, somewhat more abstract approach; intended mainly but not exclusively for prospective majors in physics, astronomy, or applied and engineering physics. Corrective transfers between PHYS 1116 and PHYS 1112 (in either direction) encouraged during the first three weeks of instruction.
