Physics 1
Course Description, Prerequisites, Corequisite and Textbooks
Physics 1 (PHY101) requires four weekends to complete. Classes are held on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:30am to 6:30pm.
(4 Semester Units, includes lab*)
This non-calculus, algebra/trigonometry based physics course will include the following topics: Motion in one and two dimensions, velocity, acceleration, forces and Newton's Laws of motion, linear and angular momentum, circular motion, center of mass, torque, mechanics of rigid bodies, work, kinetic energy, and potential energy, Newton's Law of gravitation, Kepler's Laws, and simple harmonic motion. Problem solving skills will be strongly emphasized.
ISP does not require students to complete any preliminary 'introductory' classes prior to enrollment in our program. For example, students can enroll immediately into ISP's General Chemistry 1 class without taking 'Introduction to Chemistry'. This applies to all of our course offerings, including Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, Microbiology and Physics. *If the college or university to which the student intends to transfer Integrated Science Program (ISP) courses requires 5 instead of 4 semester units per portion of a course (either 1 or 2), we offer 1 semester unit independent study courses for each formal course which provide empirically-based studies that enhance, deepen, and further integrate knowledge of the subject by developing different problem-solving skills and conceptual organization than those fostered in formal classroom and laboratory learning.
Prerequisite - High School Diploma or equivalent.
Corequisite - Pre-calculus Math (101)
Corequisite is not necessary for students that present transcripts demonstrating that he or she has taken a college-level math course in the last four years. Students that have not taken a college-level math course in the last four years need to achieve 60% or better on the Math 101 assessment test in order to be exempted from the Math 101 class.
