An introduction to mechanics for students without high school physics experience. Topics include kinematics (description of motion), statics (forces in balance) and dynamics (causes of motion) in one and two dimensions; rotational motion; work and energy; momentum; and conservation laws. Time is taken to develop related mathematical skills.

Course Format: Lectures 4 hours per week; labs/tutorials 2 hours, alternating every week.
Restrictions: Not for credit toward a major or minor in Physics. Students may not concurrently register in PHYS 1P21 , PHYS 1P91 , or PHYS 1P95.
Course Notes:  Materials fee may be required.
