Abstract:
The goal of this course is to help students develop an understanding of basic concepts in physics. Learners will explore the basic principles of motion, force, energy, electricity and magnetism as they apply to everyday life. They will develop scientific investigation skills as they test laws of physics. Target Audience: Students at the college level with a curiosity of science, and a need to more about the basic principles that govern the world around them. After successfully completing the course, you will be able to do the following: Apply basic physics principles to understand and solve everyday practical problems. Use appropriate terminology when discussing problems related to motion, force, energy, electricity and magnetism. Understand and use appropriate mathematical representations to solve more complex problems involving physics concepts.
