This course is a quick-paced approach to physics in which problem-solving is the emphasis. The goal is for students to actively pursue an understanding and appreciation of the laws that govern matter and energy and their interactions. Students will integrate computers and equipment as they apply the laws of physic to show relationships between physics quantities. Most of the mathematics is done on the trigonometric and algebraic levels with a few calculus ideas. Topics to be covered include measurement, Mechanical Equilibrium, Newton’s Three Laws, Energy and work, gravitation, rotational motion, and electricity.
