General Physics II (PHYS 102)

This course includes topics of angular motion and centripetal force, mechanical properties of matter, heat, thermal properties of matter, vibratory motion, and sound waves.

Introduction to physics (physics definition, SI system, basic and derived quantity, length, mass, and time). significant figures (significant figures and scientific notation). dimensional analysis, converting units. Position, distance, and displacement, speed and velocity, acceleration, motion with constant acceleration. Vectors in physics (vector and scalar definition, vector components, adding and subtracting vectors, unit vectors, position, displacement, velocity, and acceleration vectors, multiplication of vectors). Motion in two dimensions, projectile motion (projectile definition, projectile motion equation, zero launch angle, general launch angle, project motion: key characteristics). Newtons laws of motion (force and mass, newton 1st law of motion, newton 2nd law of motion, free body diagram, newton 3rd law of motion, forces in two dimensions, weight, normal force). Frictional forces (friction level, kinematic friction, static friction), strings and springs (strings and tension, springs and hookes law, translation equilibrium, connected objects), circular motion. Work and kinetic energy (work done by a constant force, kinetic energy and the work energy theorem, work done by a variable force, power). Potential energy (conservative and non-conservative definition, potential energy and the work done by conservative forces, gravity, springs). conservation of mechanical energy, work done by non-conservation forces. Waves and sounds (type of waves, waves on a string, sound waves, sound intensity, the doppler effect). Temperature and heat (temperature and heat definition, temperature scales, thermal expansion, conduction, convection, and radiation) heat and mechanical energy (heat and mechanical work, heat capacity, specific heat, calorimetry).
