This algebra-based subject is designed to give students the necessary knowledge and
skills, both computational and practical, to analyse real physical problems and to
solve them using sound physical principles and mathematics. The subject is comprised
of many topics representing aspects of introductory physics relevant to subsequent
courses in physics, and other courses in the College of Science and Engineering, and
the University. The theme of PH1001 responds to the questions "How does it work?"
and "Why is it so?" by relating specific observable phenomena to the Laws of Physics.
This is an introduction to the principles behind physics with examples and topics
covering the life sciences, geology, and engineering.
Learning Outcomes
- apply the use of knowledge and concepts to explain physical observations;
- identify a broad set of the basic principles of fundamental physics;
- demonstrate the skills of measurement and observation on selected phenomena;
- compose mathematical solutions for various problems and observations.
