Description
This course is a one-semester college physics laboratory course in classical physics, including kinematics, dynamics, energy conservation, gravitation, oscillations, waves, fluids and thermodynamics. The nature of physics as an experimental science is emphasized. We subject our theories to careful testing in the laboratory following the scientific method of observation, hypothesis-formulation, experimental testing, measurements, data analysis and the writing of lab reports. This course is designed for both science and non-science majors interested in understanding the central role of science in civilization.Co-requisite: PHY 2002L, unless transfer student has already satisfied requirement in Scientific World category.
