PHYS 110B - Principles of Physics IB

2.5 Credits

This course is the first half of an algebra-based college physics sequence. The course is taught as three courses (PHYS 110A, 110B, and 110C), all of which must be successfully completed to transfer as a semester-length course. Topics for this portion of the course include momentum, rotational motion, gravitation, and fluids. This course includes both lecture and lab components.

Prerequisites: (2) College-level reading, writing, and math proficiency; and PHYS 110A

Lecture Hours: 2.0
Lab Hours: 1.5
Internship Hours: 0.0
Clinical or Practicum Hours: 0.0

Course Objectives

distinguish between linear momentum and impulse and apply of the law of conservation of momentum to physical situations;
solve problems involving circular motion;
apply the conservation of energy and/or conservation of momentum to rotating objects and solve problems relating these principles to physical situations;
compare and contrast the characteristics of fluids, and solids;
analyze the behavior of fluids and solids;
use the kinetic theory of gases to explain the behavior of gases;
perform lab experiments safely using both direct and computer based methodology, analyze and interpret the data collected and draw reasonable conclusions based on the data.
