General Physics Laboratory I
Corequisite: PHYS 125.
Laboratories cover selected topics in introductory mechanics, including freefall, uniform circular motion, work-energy, collisions, rotational motion, and harmonic motion. Includes a freshmen project.
Outcomes: Experience and familiarity with basic measuring devices and simple mechanics equipment; Understand measurement errors and their propagation, plotting and interpretation of data, the connection between theory and experiment for selected topics in elementary mechanics.
