CSPC 132 COURSE OUTLINE - 202 5. Physical Quantities are a characteristic or properties of an object. Units are standards for expressing and comparing the measurement of physical quantities. Newton.s Laws of Motion introduce students to the three famous laws that explain how motion, force and energy work. Students will be able to understand the concept of acceleration by exploring the relationship between position, velocity, and acceleration. Work is defined as a force which is applied through a displacement, or distance. Define potential energy, to identify the two forms and the variables that affect the amount. Define kinetic energy, and to calculate the kinetic energy possessed by an object. Use the law of conservation of momentum, and the law of conservation of kinetic energy to solve simple collision problems. DR. MARK OFORI NKETIA - +233(0)243289878 ... GCTU 3: The tangential acceleration of a point on a rigid object. The kinetic theory of gases and concept of thermal expansion will also be explained in this lesson. Students should be able to explain that waves transfer energy, not matter. Distinguish between mechanical and electromagnetic waves. Describe how waves reflect. Explain how “Standing” waves are produced. Explain how “standing” waves are produced. The unit will redound to the lasting memory of the students with physics seen as both an interesting and useful field of study. Students will learn about the meaning and significance of the electric potential. They will also learn how to calculate the electric current flow in a circuit. Learn the concepts related to Faraday’s law, induced emf and Maxwell‘s equations. Electromagnetic phenomena and the coupling to light. agnetic potential, boundary conditions and magnetic energy density. Understand the concepts of relativity and quantum statistics.
