Course Description

This course deals with mechanics, heat, sound, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism. It discusses the
fundamental concepts and principles in mechanics, with emphasis on linear and two – dimensional kinematics,
Newton’s laws of motion, energy and momentum, harmonic motion, fluid mechanics, and their applications,
thermal expansion, thermal stress, heat transfer, calorimetry, laws of thermodynamics, wave motion,
electrostatics, the nature and interaction among electrical charges, the concept of electric field and electric
energy, and the application of the methods and concepts of algebra, trigonometry, graphical analysis, and
basic calculus.
