PHYS 2020 Non-Calculus Physics II 4 (3 lecture hours; 3 lab hours) Credit Hour(s) This course is a continuation of Non-Calculus Physics I. Topics include principles/applications of electricity and magnetism, geometrical and physical optics, radioactivity, and modern physics.
General Education Learning Outcomes (TBR Approved)
- Use Scientific principles to apply experimental techniques, make observational analyses, interpret experimental results, and draw logical conclusions.
- Describe the natural and/or physical world using basic scientific language and processes.
- Apply scientific principles to address problems or issues in the natural and/or physical world.
Student Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Read a word problem and identify the unknown, all given information, and formulate a plan or strategy to arrive at a solution.
- Solve mathematical equations algebraically for any stated variable in the equation.
- Use the calculator to perform complex operations, such as the quadratic formula, or solving systems of equations for two or more unknowns.
- Be able to define basic terminology used in second-semester physics, such as “voltage,” “current,” “electric and magnetic fields,” and “impedance.”
- Demonstrate an understanding of the laws of physics (such as Coulomb’s law) through the appropriate application of a specific law to the solution of applied physics problems.
Prerequisite(s): PHYS 2010 or permission of instructor
