Introduction to Motion

Chaffey College via California Community Colleges System

Overview

Placement Level: Eligibility for MATH-65A or higher as determined by the Chaffey College placement process. Prerequisite: MATH-61. Introduction to mechanics for students majoring in a physical science or engineering. Position, velocity, and acceleration of objects are described using vectors. Concepts of mass, force, Newton's Laws of Motion, momentum, and impulse are used to describe straight line motion, projectile motion, circular motion, collisions, and explosions. In the laboratory, microcomputers with motion detectors and force probes are used to study the concepts of velocity and acceleration, and Newton's Laws of Motion. Graphical representations of motion - velocity-time graphs, acceleration-time graphs, and force-time graphs - are emphasized. Transfer: CSU; UC credit limitations
