Introductory Physics 1

0.5 credits · Undergraduate

An introduction to university-level mechanics for scientists, leading to the further study in physics via PHYS 1002H. Topics include kinematics (description of motion) and dynamics (causes of motion/forces/Newton's laws) in one and two dimensions. Concepts are extended to rotational dynamics, work and energy, momentum, and conservation laws. Prerequisite: 3U Physics or equivalent, or PHYS 1000H and 4U Advanced Functions or equivalent, or permission of the department. Strongly recommended: 4U Physics and 4U Calculus and Vectors. MATH 1110H or 1111H, required for upper-level Physics courses, recommended to be taken concurrently with PHYS 1001H. Not open to students with credit for PHYS-FRSC 1020H.
