PH205 (Version: 2019 2) COURSE DETAILS


COURSE TITLE EFF YEAR EFF TERM DEPARTMENT CREDIT HOURS
PH205 PHYSICS I 2019 2 Physics and Nuclear Engineering 4.0 (BS=4.0, ET=0.0, MA=0.0)
SCOPE
This required, calculus-based core physics course consists of an introduction to nuclear physics, a detailed study of classical mechanics, and an introduction to electricity and magnetism. The course is designed to promote scientific literacy and to develop the use of the scientific method to solve problems. Specific topics include: mass-energy relationship, radioactive decay, radiation attenuation, an introduction to nuclear reactors, and an introduction to nuclear weapons; a detailed study of the laws of motion to include kinematics (translational and rotational), relativity, conservation of energy, conservation of momentum, and mechanical waves; and an introduction to electrostatics and magnetism. An integrated laboratory program illustrates basic scientific techniques and serves to stimulate intellectual curiosity through discovery laboratories. The core physics program is designed to demonstrate the relevance of physics to military technology and to help prepare future Army leaders to anticipate and adapt to technological change.
LESSONS: 30 @ 75 min (2.000 Att/wk) LABS: 9 @ 75 min
