Description
What is the cause of motion, and what does it mean for an object to be rest? In this course, we will study the sciences of statics and dynamics, focusing on the work of Galileo, Pascal, Newton and Einstein. Topics include falling bodies and projectile motion, the strength of materials, acoustics, hydrostatic pressure, Newton’s laws of motion, conservation of momentum, universal gravitation, and special relativity. Concurrent (or previous) enrollment in MAT 221 is required.
