Prerequisite: MATH-61, PHYS-5, PHYS-44, or one year of high-school physics. Corequisite: MATH-65A (may be taken previously). Course is designed for students majoring in a life or medical science, or engineering technology, whose university major requires calculus-based physics. Position, velocity, and acceleration of objects are described using vectors. The concepts of mass, force, Newton's Laws of Motion, momentum, impulse, work, energy, and power are used to describe straight line motion, projectile motion, circular motion, collisions, and explosions. Rotational motion includes torque, moment of inertia, angular momentum, and static equilibrium. Differential calculus is used to describe velocity and acceleration, and in presenting the laws of conservation of momentum and conservation of angular momentum. (C-ID PHYS 105, and 100 S when combined with PHYS-30B) Transfer: CSU; UC credit limitations
