Physics

The student will explain the basic theories of classical mechanics, simple harmonic motion, and heat and will apply these ideas to the mathematical solution of problems. In the laboratory, the student will attempt to verify several of these theories by comparing experimental measurements with mathematical results. Algebra is required for this course.

The student will explain the basic theories of electricity, magnetism, atomic and nuclear physics, special relativity, and optics and will apply these ideas to the mathematical solution of problems. In the laboratory, the student will attempt to verify several of these theories by comparing experimental measurements with mathematical results. Algebra is required for this course. AAS: Physical science (laboratory science) elective.
