PH204 (Version: 2004 2) COURSE DETAILS (ARCHIVED)


COURSE TITLE EFF YEAR EFF TERM DEPARTMENT CREDIT HOURS
PH204 PHYSICS II 2004 2 Physics and Nuclear Engineering 3.5 (BS=3.5, ET=0.0, MA=0.0)
SCOPE
This is the second course of a two-semester introductory calculus-based physics sequence. It is a comprehensive study of mechanics and electromagnetism designed to provide a solid foundation in physics principles and problem-solving techniques for all cadets. The course includes a detailed study of the principles of conservation of energy and momentum for translational and rotational motion, and orbital mechanics. It concludes with a study of electrostatics, magnetic fields, and circuits. An integrated laboratory program introduces cadets to the principles of experiment design, error analysis, and technical writing. The course is structured around a military storyline that demonstrates the relevance of physics to the technology of the 21st Century Army.
LESSONS: 40 @ 55 min (3.000 Att/wk) LABS: 8 @ 120 min

COURSE TITLE EFF YEAR EFF TERM DEPARTMENT CREDIT HOURS
PH204 PHYSICS II 2001 2 Physics and Nuclear Engineering 3.5 (BS=3.5, ET=0.0, MA=0.0)
SCOPE
This is the second course of a two-semester introductory calculus-based physics sequence. It is a comprehensive study of mechanics and electromagnetism designed to provide a solid foundation in physics principles and problem-solving techniques for all cadets. The course consists of a detailed study of the principles of conservation of energy and momentum for translational and rotational motion, orbital mechanics, and basic electromagnetic phenomena of electrostatics, magnetic fields, and circuits. An integrated laboratory program illustrates basic scientific principles and serves to stimulate intellectual curiosity. The core program is structured around a military storyline that demonstrates the relevancy of the physics to technology of the Army of the 21st Century.
