PH 211 General Physics With Calculus
The first course of a three-course calculus-based series of introductory college physics for students in science, engineering, and other curricula who plan to transfer credit to a four-year college or university, or for anyone desiring an understanding of physics principles. Includes topics such as measurement, scientific models, motion in a straight line, motion in two dimensions, vectors, and force and motion. Also covers Newton's laws of motion, energy, momentum, conservation laws, center of mass, and linear and angular momentum. Includes a laboratory component. Lab exercises clarify physical principles and teach measurement and analysis skills.

Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Describe and explain position, velocity, and acceleration in the motion of physical objects. Solve motion problems using algebra, calculus, computational and graphical methods. Solve physics problems involving Newton's Laws. Solve problems using the conservation laws of momentum and energy. Evaluate the reasonableness of a calculated, measured and/or presented result. Record desired data with appropriate units and usable format for analysis; use this data to interpret results of a physics experiment in a manner that makes physical sense.
