| PHY 100 - Preparatory Physics
This course is suggested for those who have not successfully completed high school physics or have an inadequate preparation in mathematics or physics. It is also a preparatory course for students intending to follow the Applied Physics sequence. Topics will include problem solving techniques, velocity, acceleration, force, Newton’s Laws of Motion, momentum, energy, and conservation laws. 4 Credits. Prerequisite(s): MTH 104 or MTH 135 or MTH 152 taken concurrently or previously completed. | |
| PHY 110 - HVACR Physics
The objective of this course is to provide HVACR (Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration) technicians with an understanding of the physical principles that apply to the HVACR systems that they must maintain and repair. Topics will include temperature, heat, material properties, ideal gas laws, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, electricity, and magnetism. Proper use of measurement equipment and data acquisition systems will be stressed. 4 Credits. Prerequisite(s): Permission of the HVACR Program Coordinator | |
| PHY 120 - Physics for Non-Majors Laboratory
A laboratory course to supplement class lectures in PHY 121. Exercises will cover motion, Newton's Laws, energy, electricity, magnetism, optics and modern physics. Computers will be used extensively to collect and analyze data, process video images, and run simulations.
NOTE: This course meets SUNY General Education Natural Science (and Scientific Reasoning) SUNY-NSCI requirements when both PHY 120 and PHY 121 are successfully completed. 1 Credit. Prerequisites: PHY 121 may be taken concurrently or previously completed. | |
| PHY 121 - Physics for Non-Majors I
A non-mathematical course in classical and modern physics; intended for those seeking a natural science elective. Topics include gravitation, electricity and magnetism, the nature of light, Einstein's Theories of Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, blackholes, and the Big Bang. Students interested in taking a transferable laboratory science course should enroll in PHY 120 concurrently. Three class hours.
NOTE: This course meets SUNY General Education Natural Science (and Scientific Reasoning) SUNY-NSCI requirements when both PHY 120 and PHY 121 are successfully completed. PHY 120 may be taken concurrently or in a later semester, but the will not have satisfied the SUNY-NSCI requirement until both PHY 120 and PHY 121 are successfully completed. 3 Credits. | |
| PHY 131 - Applied Physics I
An introductory course in physics at an intermediate mathematical level. Appropriate for non-science majors and those in the engineering technologies. Topics to include statics, dynamics, mechanical work and energy, conservation of momentum, and rotational dynamics. 4 Credits. Prerequisite(s): MTH 140 or MTH 165 taken concurrently or previously completed OR MTH 152 previously completed | |
| PHY 132 - Applied Physics II
A continuation of PHY 131. Topics to include the properties of materials, temperature, heat and thermodynamics, vibrational motion, wave motion, sound, and geometrical and physical optics. 4 Credits. Prerequisite(s): PHY 131 with a grade of C. | |
| PHY 145 - College Physics I
An introductory course in classical mechanics at the mathematical level of intermediate algebra and trigonometry. Intended for transfer students seeking a laboratory science elective and for those in life science and pre-professional programs. Topics include vectors, translational and rotational kinematics and dynamics, work and energy, impulse and momentum, and simple harmonic motion. Also available summer. 4 Credits. Prerequisite: Either MTH 140 or MTH 165 taken concurrently or previously completed. | |
