General Physics I Lab
|
This lab-only course is designed as a standalone addition to StraighterLine’s General Physics I course. Students will complete at-home laboratory experiments, track and record results, answer lab-based questions reflected in graded lab reports, and complete lab-based assessments to meet the lab requirement. The labs are provided by eScience Labs, a leading provider of at home lab kits and online lab instructional materials and resources.
Course Objectives
After completing this course, you will be able to:
discuss uncertainty in measurement and significant digits solve problems involving linear, projectile, and circular motion
explain Newton’s laws and how they apply to free body diagrams
discuss the difference between static and kinetic friction
compare and contrast types of energy
describe how momentum is conserved in elastic collisions
apply Archimedes’ by measuring buoyant force and displaced water weight
differentiate between specific and latent heat
distinguish between work done by systems and work done on systems
