PHYS 2215 - Engineering Physics I

Classical principles of kinematics and dynamics are presented with applications of Newton’s laws of motion, gravitation, friction, circular motion, work and energy principles, linear momentum, rotational kinematics and dynamics, torque and angular momentum, theory of fluids (statics and dynamics), oscillations, wave motion, and sound. Material is presented from the vector algebra and vector calculus point of view. Topics covered are essential for college sophomore students planning for a career in physics, engineering or the sciences.
