General Physics II

Description of Course: Physics is a fundamental science that deals with the natural phenomena that occur in our universe. In this course we will be concerned with objects that are in motion. Concepts of velocity, acceleration, forces, momentum, energy, linear and rotational motion will be developed. Also properties of fluids, periodic motion thermal properties of matter, heat transfer and static charges will be discussed.

Purpose: The purpose of this course is to study the basic principles and laws of Physics. The concepts and principles of Physics are widely drawn upon by other sciences, particularly Chemistry, Biology, Geology, Psychology, Astronomy, the universe around us. The same concepts and principles constitute the foundation of engineering and have made possible the technologically advanced world of today. Thus the principles of physics help explain the rocket, how a refrigerator works, and the use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to examine the interior of a body. These topics and hundreds more will be encountered in this course.
