| 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 selected cadets whose skills in mathematics and science are sufficiently mature to allow greater illustration of important principles. The course includes a detailed study of the principles of conservation of energy and momentum for translational and rotational motion, and introductions to orbital mechanics and thermodynamics. 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 relevancy of the physics to technology of the 21st Century Army and includes opportunities for cadets to select topics for advanced instruction. | |||||||||

| 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 selected cadets whose skills in mathematics and science are sufficiently mature to allow greater illustration of important principles. The course consists of an in-depth study of the principles of electromagnetic phenomena of electrostatics, magnetic fields, and circuits. An integrated laboratory program illustrates basic scientific principles and serves to stimulate intellectual curiosity. The program is structured around a military storyline that demonstrates the relevancy of the physics to technology of the Army of the 21st Century. | |||||||||
