PHYS 140 - Physics for Scientists and Engineers 1

Credits: 4 Total Hours: 90

This calculus-based course is intended for students in Science or Engineering. Students will study the mechanics of particles analyzing problems involving forces and equations of motion in multiple dimensions, conservation laws, rotational kinematics and dynamics. Students will further investigate electric fields and electric potential; DC circuits, and magnetic fields. Students will explore how these fundamental principles apply in laboratory settings.

Prerequisites
One of:

C in Physics 12
C in Camosun Alternative

Pre or Co-requisites
All of:

C in MATH 100

Notes: It is recommended that students who have been away from Physics for more than 5 years should first refresh with PHYS 104 or see the Physics chair to gauge skill level. It is also recommended that students who have been away from math courses for more than 5 years should consult with the Mathematics department to ensure that their math skills are at a level appropriate for this course.
