1 BROOKDALE COMMUNITY COLLEGE PHYS 121 GENERAL PHYSICS I 4.0 CREDITS COURSE SYLLABUS (Fall, 2018)

2 CODE PHYS-121 TITLE: General Physics I INSTITUTE: STEM DEPARTMENT: Physics COURSE DESCRIPTION: The student will employ calculus in the development of the basic concepts of vectors; static s, kinematics, dynamics, work and energy; momentum; rotational mechanics; molecular and thermal properties of matter; wave motion; and sound. PREREQUISITE: A grade of C or higher in MATH 171 or COREQUISITE: MATH 171 CREDITS: 4 LECTURE HOURS: 3 LAB HOURS: 2 REQUIRED MATERIALS: TEXTBOOK: Physics for Scientists and Engineers Volume 1. 10th Edition by Serway & Jewett LABORATORY MANUAL: BE PROVIDED SCIENTIFIC CALCULATOR ADDITIONAL TIME REQUIREMENTS: For information on Brookdale s policy on credit hour requirements and outside class student work refer to Academic Credit Hour Policy. COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES: Upon successful completion of this calculus-based general physics I course, students will be able to: Communicate information and ideas about the basic concepts of experimental and theoretical physics in mechanics and thermodynamics clearly and effectively in the written and spoken form. Apply the scientific method, fundamental principles of physics in mechanics and thermodynamics, as well as mathematical techniques in calculus to solve problems. Use instruments and computers to gather and analyze data in laboratory. COURSE CONTENT: The course is comprised of the following eleven units: 1 Introduction: Physics and Measurement (Textbook reading sections: 1.1, ) 2 Motion in One Dimension (Textbook reading sections: ) 3 Vectors ((Textbook reading sections: ) 4 Motion in two Dimensions (Textbook reading sections: ) 5 The Laws of Motion ((Textbook reading sections: ; 6.1; 13.1 and 13.2) 6 Energy of a System (Textbook reading sections: ) 7 Conservation of Energy (Textbook reading sections: ) 8 Linear Momentum and Collisions (Textbook reading sections: ) 9 Rotation, Rolling Motion, and Static Equilibrium (Textbook reading sections: ; 11.2-

3 11.4; 12.1, 12.3) 10 Fluid Mechanics (Textbook read sections , ) 11 Oscillating Motion, Wave and Sound (Textbook reading sections: , 16.5; 17.2, 17.4) 12 Heat and Thermodynamics ((Textbook reading sections: , 19.4; ) GRADING STANDARD: GENERAL METHOD OF EVALUATION 1. Testing: There will be three tests as follows: Test 1 - includes Unit 1 through Unit 4 (25 %). Test 2 - includes Unit 5 through Unit 7 (25 %). Test 3 - includes Unit 8 through Unit 12 (25 %). These tests may be given during class time or scheduled for the testing center. If you fail to take a test when scheduled, a grade of zero will be assigned. There are no make ups on tests. 2. Homework and Quizzes: (15 %) You will be given homework for every chapter. There will be a 20-minute quiz on the problems from homework. There are no make ups on these quizzes. 3. Laboratory: (10%) You will be provided with a list of the laboratory experiments which must be performed to pass for the course. You will write a laboratory report for each experiment according to the format given in your lab manual. Laboratory reports will be averaged into a final grade of ten percent. COURSE GRADE The final grade assigned will be: A A B B B C C D 0-64 F DEPARTMENT POLICIES
