Physics
A survey of physics concepts and content as applicable to the Tennessee K-8
curriculum standards and the National Science Education Standards. Instructional
topics include mechanics, heat, electricity, magnetism, sound and light.
Prerequisite(s): MATH 1030
A calculus-based introduction to mechanics and heat. This course covers
vectors, Newton’s laws of motion, static and dynamic equilibrium of particles,
work and energy, impulse and momentum, torque and rotational equilibrium,
and elasticity. Course includes three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory
applications. Prerequisite(s): MATH 1910
A calculus-based introduction to mechanics and heat. This course is a
continuation of Mechanics & Heat I. It covers rigid body equilibrium, periodic
motion, fluid mechanics, heat and thermodynamics, ideal gas behavior, oscillatory
motion, and acoustics. Course includes three hours of lecture and three
hours of laboratory applications. Prerequisite(s): PHYS 1310 Corequisite(s):
MATH 1920
This course includes the basic principles of physics with their applications
in pre-medical, -dental, -pharmacy, and -veterinary programs and covers mechanics,
