PHYS 210B - General Physics IB

2.5 Credits

This course is the first of a calculus-based college physics sequence. The course is taught as three courses (PHYS 210A, 210B, and 210C), all of which must be successfully completed to transfer as a semester-length course. Topics 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 210A

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

Course Objectives

Demonstrate an understanding of gravity, fields and orbital motion;
Demonstrate an understanding of work and energy, and the application of the law of the conservation of energy to physical situations;
Demonstrate an understanding of linear momentum and impulse, and the application of the law of conservation of momentum to physical situations;
Demonstrate an understanding of impulse and collisions;
Demonstrate an understanding of angular motion and solve problems relating these principles to physical situations;
Demonstrate an understanding of vector multiplication (dot product and cross product) and their physical applications;
