PHY-215 Mechanics, Wave Motion, Thermodynamics
Mechanics, Wave Motion and Thermodynamics is a calculus-based study of the kinematics and dynamics of the motion of rigid bodies, wave propagation and thermodynamics. Topics covered include accelerated motion, Newton's Laws, momentum, energy, rotational motion, gravitation, wave propagation, sound, and heat. PHY-215 and PHY-225 are required of all students majoring in engineering, chemistry, or physics. (The class will meet for three hours of lecture, one hour required discussion and three hours of laboratory per week.)
Prerequisite
Successful completion of
MTH-135 with a grade of C or higher, previous or concurrent enrollment in
MTH-235. Recommended one year of high school physics, or completion of
PHY-201.
