PHY2100EN - General Physics I

Course description

This course is the first part of the two academic term algebra-based physics course. Topics that will be discussed include kinematics, dynamics, forces, linear and circular motion, Newton's laws and energy and work.

How this course benefits students

By learning physics, students learn to observe and interpret what's happening and make prediction what will happen next. Students will learn this scientific process (observation, interpretation and prediction) as well as laws of physics that help them with interpretation and prediction.

Why this course is important

Elementary physics is a basis of many different fields of science and engineering. Knowlege from this course helps students get prepared for many different career paths.

How this course relates to missional core values

Biblically based

Students will learn that God governs the created physical world through the laws of physics

Missionally driven

Knowledge of laws of physics and capability of scientific reasoning becomes the foundation of career so that students can join in with the mission of God.

Contextually informed

Knowledge of laws of physics and capability of scientific reasoning will allow students to understand their environment and community better.

Interculturally focused

Knowledge of laws of physics and capability of scientific reasoning will allow students to better understand their neighbors in other part of the world

Practically minded

Students will learn how to interpret physical phenomena that they encounter in their everyday lives.

Experientially transformed

Students will learn laws of physics through what they observe in their everyday lives.
