Among the topics covered are the kinematics and dynamics of linear motion, the conditions for static equilibrium, the principles of conservation of energy and of momentum, Newton's law of gravitation, the kinematics and dynamics of rotational motion, mechanics of solids and fluids and thermodynamics. This course is recommended for students wishing to transfer an algebra-based Physics course to a four-year institution; however, it is highly recommended that the student work with the transfer institution to ensure transferability.

The course illustrates many of the topics introduced in lecture through hands-on laboratory experiments. Experiments in laboratory are conducted, and include, but are not limited to, topics including wave motion, electricity and magnetism, light, geometrical and physical optics as well as relativity and quantum theory.
An introduction to mechanics. Among the topics covered are the kinematics and dynamics of linear motion, the conditions for static equilibrium, the principles of conservation of energy and of momentum, Newton's law of gravitation, the kinematics and dynamics of rotational motion, mechanics of solids and fluids and thermodynamics. Differential and integral calculus and simple vector analysis are used throughout. This course is recommended for students planning to transfer to four-year institutions as engineering, physical science, pre-med, and computer science majors. This course is also an elective in the Computer Science A.S. Degree program.
