PHYS 111 - (E) The Joy of Physics on a Bicycle

3 cr.

(Pre-Requisite: One year of high school algebra and a little trigonometry and geometry.)

This course, of basic physical science, is designed to satisfy the natural science requirement. The objective is to use the fun and joy of the bicycle to understand the fun and joy of physics. We will examine physics principles such as concepts of motion, forces, gravity, work, energy, power, heat, conservation, and explore their applications to the bicycle and cyclist.
