Important Information for Physics 20700 CD, CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5 students: Course Objectives: Students are expected to understand the basic physics involved in mechanics (the study of motion and its causes) and in thermodynamics (the study of heat and work) that is needed for science and engineering. The emphasis will be on analytical reasoning and problem-solving skills. A list of course objectives is given below.

Reading Assignment: The text material that will be covered in class each day is listed on the Class schedule. You should read the indicated sections in the textbook before coming to class. Note that we will cover one or two chapters of the text every week. Solutions of some illustrative examples will be presented in lecture. You can try them before coming to class!

Homework: Homework problems are taken from the textbook and selected problems will be submitted online using WileyPlus one week after the chapter is finished in lecture. Late homework receives at most 50% credit. See note on WileyPlus below. Blackboard: Course materials will be posted on BLACKBOARD. They will be in the CONTENT folder. These include lecture notes, solutions to homework assignments, exams and solutions, and supplementary material.

Grades: Student performance will be based on the following components: exams (3 midterms + final) 80% homework assignments 10% lab reports (7) 10% Note that attendance will be taken at every class. Also, class participation is essential.

Exams: There will be three midterm exams (75 min.) and a final exam (135 min.) that counts the same as two midterm exams. No exam grades will be dropped and no make-ups will be given except in the case of documented illness or other emergency.

Labs:

The Physics Department Lab manual is available on line at www.sci.ccny.cuny.edu/physics/LabMan/. There are seven labs to be completed during the semester; see the schedule on the next page. Lab reports must be submitted at the beginning of the following lab period. Note that the grade of incomplete (INC) will be assigned for Physics 20700 if all seven lab reports have not been submitted by the required dates. As detailed in your lab section, attendance and participation in all lab sessions and completion of associated lab reports is required to pass the course. Your grade in the lab sessions will comprise 10% of your grade for the course. In addition, material covered in the lab sessions may appear on the midterms and final. In the case of repeating a physics course, lab grades are not carried over to subsequent semesters. If you repeat the class for any reason you are also required to repeat the labs. They are not considered a separate course as they are not listed as such in the CCNY bulletin.

Recitations: Each week there will be either a lab or a recitation. The lab TA will be responsible EVERY week to teach the lab alternating with the recitation at the time and in the same room that is

scheduled for the lab. Intro labs/recitations begin the week of August 27. The lab/recitation for Intro Physics 207 are mandatory for students to attend. TAs are responsible for both lab and recitation for the assigned section: TAs will take attendance for recitations just as they do for the labs.

Extra help: Students can obtain extra help in this course by meeting with me either during my office hours in MR311C or at other mutually agreeable times. A math/physics tutoring lab can be found in MR418S. You are encouraged and expected to take advantage of all of these opportunities. Effort required: Don’t underestimate the amount of effort required for you to succeed in this course. Many students, in particular those who have not taken a previous course in physics, will need to spend 5-10 hours per week, every week, studying physics and doing the assigned homework problems, in addition to the time spent in lecture, lab and recitation (6 hours per week).

Academic Integrity: Academic dishonesty is prohibited in the City University of New York and is punishable by penalties, including failing grades, suspension, and expulsion. For more details see http://www.ccny.cuny.edu/standards/upload/academicintegrity.pdf

Course objectives: After successfully completing this course, students should be able to: 1. Recognize and use SI units and be able to use vectors and their components. 2. Understand the relationships between position, velocity, acceleration and time in motion. 3. Understand the concepts of force and equilibrium and their relation to Newton’s laws of motion. 4. Understand and apply the concepts of work and energy, including kinetic and potential energy; understand and be able to use the principle of conservation of energy. 5. Understand and apply the concepts of momentum and impulse; understand and be able to use the principle of conservation of momentum. 6. Understand how to describe the rotation of physical objects; understand the concept of torque as applied to the equilibrium of objects. 7. Understand gravitational interactions and their relationship to satellite motion and Kepler’s laws. 8. Understand the phenomenon of simple harmonic motion. 9. Understand and apply the basic principles of fluid mechanics as applied to buoyancy and fluid flow. 10. Understand the properties of temperature and heat. 11. Understand and apply the first and second laws of thermodynamics involving work, heat and internal energy.
