PHYS 185 - College Physics I

College Physics I is the first semester of a year-long introduction to the fundamentals of physics, beginning with classical (Newtonian) physics. It requires extensive use of algebra and trigonometry, and pairs discussion of theoretical models with laboratory investigations of basic physical concepts. Students learn about Newtonian mechanics, including rotational motion; momentum, energy, and the power of conservation laws; basic thermal physics and thermodynamic principles; and fluids.
