Wright State University Lake Campus/2020-1/Phy 2400/Syllabus

 Phy 2400 General Physics I  Instructor: Guy Vandegrift email:guy.vandegrift@wright.edu 236-Dwyer Hall Wright State University Lake Campus, Celina OH 45822 Enrolled students may access all materials needed for this course through Pilot (https://pilot.wright.edu/d2l/loginh/) - An introductory survey of mechanics for science and engineering students. Uses of interpreting physical phenomena. Topics include vectors, kinematics, dynamics, energy, momentum, rotation, oscillation and thermodynamics (4 credit hours.) Also required is the lab PHY2410L: Introductory physics laboratory problems in mechanics, oscillation and thermodynamics (1 credit hour.)

Corequisites: (MTH 2300 or EGR 1010), PHY 2400R, PHY 2400L

The students in the introductory physics class will be expected to:
 * 1) Understand the nature of scientific inquiry
 * 2) Critically apply knowledge of physical theory to a variety of physical problems
 * 3) Distinguish between science and technology and recognize their roles in society
 * 4) Demonstrate an awareness of theoretical, practical, creative and cultural dimensions of scientific inquiry
 * 5) Communicate an understanding of the basic physical principles.

Test bank
This bank currently contains 274 questions and is an Open Educational Resource. But some questions on exams might not appear in the bank. The "study" version contains one rendition of each problem. For more practice use "all" version. This pdf file is much larger because it contains 10 or more renditions of each numerical question, each with a different set of numerical values.

Topics Covered in a 15 week course
The volume and chapter refer to OpenStax University Physics. Click on PDF in the 5th column of the first row to view the quizbank. The number in that section links to the quiz. Any question in this bank might be on an exam, and questions not on the bank might even appear on an exam. But the "Essential" questions listed in the last column are a good place to start when preparing for an exam. A copy of this syllabus will placed at Wright State University Lake Campus/2020-1/Phy 2400/Notes, and will be adjusted as we move through the semester.
