General Physics 1 - Course Outline

This course outline summarizes the topics and schedule for a General Physics 1 course over two semesters. Over the first semester, the course will cover introductory concepts in physics, vectors, kinematics, Newtonian mechanics, work and energy, momentum and collisions, rotational motion, gravity, periodic motion, mechanical waves and sounds, and fluid mechanics. Key concepts will be taught from the textbook Conceptual Science and Beyond General Physics 1 by Torio over 15 weeks, followed by a second quarter exam on thermodynamics and ideal gases.
