Course Title:
University Physics I, for Science & Engineering
Course Number:
SNCP 120
Course Description:
In this course, we want you to learn how to analyze mechanical systems using Newton's laws.
Inparticular, youwillbe taught to:
1. Describe motion graphically and algebraically in terms of velocity, acceleration and trajectory
2. Apply calculus to the study of mechanics
3. Identify the forces acting on a system, and represent these by a suitable vector diagram
4. From your analysis of these forces, explain the motion of a system based on Newton's laws of
motion
5. Understand the principles of conservation of momentum, energy, and angular momentum, and
be able to use these principles to analyze bodies and systems of particles
6. Analyze the motion of rigid bodies in rotation
7. Determine the forces, torques and angles of systems of bodies in static equilibrium
8. Understand the basic principles of Newton's theory of gravitation
9. Understand basic Fluid statics and dynamics
10. Analyzeoscillatorymotion.
