Only Volume 1 is required for PHYS 131 (Volume 2 will beneeded for PHYS 132) Bound lab notebook (9¾ x 7½ in, quadrille). Calculator: A scientific calculator that can handle scientific notation andtrigonometric function, exponentials, etc.Course Description: An introductory, algebra-based physics course. Fundamentallaws and properties of matter, mechanics, heat and problems dealing with theselaws. 3 hrs. lec., 1 hr. recitation and 2 hrs. lab.Prerequisite: MATH 101 or MPT score sufficient for the student to enroll inMATH courses above MATH 110. Offered in fall and summer.Objectives of the Course:The motion of objects, from particles to planets, is the focus of this course. Therevolution in human understanding of mechanics, inspired by Galileo anddeveloped by Newton and others is the lens through which our modern mechanicalworld is surveyed. Students will make extensive use of algebra in applying thefundamental laws of classical physics to real-world problems, and will explore thephysicist's approach to inquiry through laboratory investigations.At the end of this course, students should be able to: Solve kinematics problems with and without gravitational acceleration. Use Newton's laws to solve translational equilibrium and dynamicsproblems with and without friction.
Apply Newton's universal law of gravitation.Use the definitions of work, energy, power and the law of conservation ofenergy to solve problems.Use conservation of momentum and kinetic energy to solve collision andrelated problems.Use the rotational analogs to the above principles to solve problemsinvolving torque and rotation.Solve specific heat capacity, change of phase, and ideal gas law problems.Solve problems related to Simple Harmonic Motion.Use definition of waves and understand basis of diffraction, interference andstanding waves.Demonstrate understanding of the concepts behind all of the above.Choose and incorporate relevant information to solve problems.Apply physics principles to new situations.Judge the reasonableness of solutions.In addition, this course will reinforce the concepts mentioned above withpractical laboratory experiences. While conducting the experiments, thestudent will learn methods of recording, using and reporting data.Access Students:If you have special needs as addressed by the Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA) and need assistance, please notify the Learning Services (Extension 3178)or the course instructor immediately. Reasonable efforts will be made toaccommodate your special needs.Grading Policy: The final grade will be based on attendance, homeworkassignments, lab section, two tests, and a final exam.Grade Distribution:AttendanceQuizzesLabsExamsFinal Exam5%10 %20 %40 %25 %Grading Scale:93-100% A, 90-92.9% A-, 87-89.9% B , 83-86.9% B, 80-82.9% B-, 77-79.9% C ,70-76.9% C, 60-69.9% C-, 55-59.9% D , 50-54.9% D, 50% F.The minimum score for any grade may be lowered based on the difficulty ofexamination questions.I am the instructor of record for this class. Only the instructor of record canproperly grade coursework and issue grades.Attendance Requirements: Attending the lectures is essential for the properunderstanding of the material. You are expected to be present at every class. I willfollow the University’s official “Class Attendance Policy”. Please be sure tocomply with these guidelines. If you have a valid conflict that does not allow you toattend the class, contact me as soon as possible. Missing an exam requires a validexcuse. A grade of zero will be assigned if you are absent from the exam/quizwithout any valid excuse. I reserve the right to determine what is, and is not, a
valid excuse. As a rule only extreme situations, such as serious medical problemwill be considered valid excuse. Alarm clock malfunctions and similar events areNOT considered valid excuses. The university attendance policy is available onlineat http://mustang.millersville.edu/ registrar/attendance policy.phpTo encourage attendance and participation, attendance will be checked randomlythroughout the semester. This way you can accumulate, without any effort, 5% ofyour overall grade.Lectures: If you wish to maximize your learning experience during the lecture, youshould read the chapter prior to class. This will allow you to ask questions duringclass concerning misconceptions or difficulties that may have arisen during thereading. This procedure allows the lecture, which contains feedback to yourquestions from the instructor, to reinforce the reading of the material.During the lectures, I will explain the concepts and do sample calculations to showhow to apply these concepts. You should be prepared not only to ask questions butalso to answer questions about the material. I will not cover everything in the textduring lecture; this does not relieve you of learning the omitted material.Conversely, the lectures may contain additional information that is not in the book;you are responsible for this information as well. To be clear, you will be responsiblefor all the material discussed in class. Concepts not covered in class will not appearon the tests.Recitation: Each Thursday, you will have a recitation period where you will reviewassigned problems, answer questions, and review the material as necessary. Duringrecitation you may work in groups and/or you might be called upon individuallyand asked to discuss your solutions to problems, both quantitative and qualitative.Attendance policy applies to all recitation classes. Remember attendanceconstitute 5% towards final grades.Quizzes: There will be several unannounced quizzes in the class during lectureand/or recitation sessions. Quizzes will cover material that has been discussed in theclass and from assigned readings and practice problems.Assigned readings: We have a large amount of material to cover in this course, andit will be impossible to cover it all unless each of you do your part in reading thetextbook before you come to class.Reading a science textbook is not like reading a work of literature – you must readslowly and pause often to check your understanding. Keep notes on your readingsin your class notebook, and come to class prepared to ask about specific things thatyou do not understand. If you follow this regimen on a regular – preferably dailybasis, you will be amazed at how much your understanding of the materialimproves as weeks go by!Practice problems: Several problems will be given in the class for practice. Thosepractice problems are not homework assignments but they are assigned to improvestudents’ understanding. Students are supposed to attempt solving these problemsand come prepare to recitation sessions where these problems will be discussed.There will also be some suggested problems for practiceQuizzes will then be given to gage students’ understanding. Quizzes contribute10% to final grades.
Labs: The primary purpose of these laboratories is to illustrate some basicprinciples of physics and the methods used to test them. During this course, youwill develop skills in data collection and analysis and gain experience in estimatinguncertainties in measured and derived quantities.In Physics Labs, a special effort has been made to avoid experiments and materialsthat present a potential hazard or require special training. However, you should beaware that this is the exceptional rather than the rule in a laboratory. In those rarecases where some danger exists in Physics Laboratories such as high voltage, theexperiments have been set up to minimize any danger and you will receive specificwarning about how to use the equipment.Lab time must be used efficiently in order to collect all required data and to doanalysis.Lab constitutes 20% to final grades. However, all lab exercises must becompleted. Otherwise the final grade for the course will be F regardless of thenumerical grades.If you cannot get to your scheduled lab due to emergency or medical problem, letyour lab instructor know ASAP.If you are repeating the course and have already completed all the labs and have passed thelab final exam, you may opt to be exempted from the lab. However, you need to show thatyou have completed all the labs satisfactorily (Please see me about this).Exams: There will be two one hour in-class and a final exam. Each exam willusually consist of the following: Conceptual questions based on the assigned book sections, the lectures, andthe assigned questions at the end of a chapter. Calculation-type problems are based on lectures examples and assignedpractice problems. Both in-class exams combined will constitute 40%,while final exam will have 25% share in final grades.Make-up exam will be granted only for legitimate reason. Make-up exams may beoral or written or both determined by the instructor.Tentative Exam Dates:Exam 1Exam 2Final Exam:Friday Feb 22, 2019Friday Apr 12, 2019Please note the dates are not final and can be changed.Wednesday, May 8, 2019 at 8:00 – 10:00 AM
Other Information Each Student Should Know Concerning His/herResponsibilities:1. Class will be conducted under the assumption that every student has alreadyread the relevant chapter to be discussed. Lecture will stress the moreimportant and difficult points but may not necessarily cover all the assignedmaterials.2. The instructor will occasionally conduct recitation to gauge the class’understanding of the subject.3. Bring the text book to class. We will need it for the problem sessions.4. Cell phone ringing, conversation, or text messaging will not be tolerated inthe classroom. If you expect an emergency call, notify the instructor, put thecell phone in vibration mode, and pick a seat in front or back of the classroom so that you can easily walk out of the room to answer the call.5. Students are encouraged to seek additional help from the instructor duringoffice hours. However, instructor expects that the student has read andtried to understand the topic from the text book and class lecture notesbefore coming to see the instructor.Academic ductCodehttp://mustang.millersville.edu/ handbook/codeofconduct.phptocreateanenvironment for Academic Integrity. Academic dishonesty such as cheating andplagiarism are serious offenses in which immoral people engage. Incidents ofacademic misconduct will be met with a failing grade on the item in which themisconduct occurs, possible failure in the course, and the Dean of Student Affairs andthe Vice President for Academic Affairs will be notified.Although I often encourage students to discuss homework assignments together, butcopying any part of another student’s work and submitting it for a grade is academicmisconduct. Providing your work for another student to copy is academic misconduct.Communication with anybody else during exams/test/quiz is forbidden. Thisincludes verbal, written, electronic, and any other communications, either one-wayor two-way. Communication with another, if determined to be cheating, may resultin an immediate grade of “F” for that work, exam, test, quiz, etc.Any form of cheating on exams (or quizzes) is academic misconduct. Providingassistance to a fellow student during an exam is academic misconduct.Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972:Millersville University and its faculty are committed to assuring a safe andproductive educational environment for all students. In order to meet thiscommitment, comply with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, 20U.S.C. §1681, et seq., and act in accordance with guidance from the Office for CivilRights, the University requires faculty members to report to the University’s TitleIX Coordinator incidents of sexual violence shared by students. The onlyexceptions to the faculty member’s reporting obligation are when incidents ofsexual violence are communicated by a student during a classroom discussion, in awriting assignment for a class, or as part of a University-approved research project.Faculty members are obligated to report to the person designated in the UniversityProtection of Minors policy incidents of sexual violence or any other abuse of a
student who was, or is, a child (a person under 18 years of age) when the abuseallegedly occurred.Information regarding the reporting of sexual violence, and the resources that ual-misconduct/index.phpTips for making the course easier:1. Don’t skip class. Although you may be tired or stressed out, come to class.Listening always helps.2. Don’t delay looking at your class notes. If you take notes and then delaylooking at them for several days, by then they likely will have beentransformed into a foreign language. A better plan is to look over class notessame day, even if for only a short period of time. Scribble in extra notesabout why things were said, what principles were stressed, etc.3. Read the book. If you get confused, don’t give up. You need to learn how tosort through complicated issues to organize the main ideas.4. Do your assigned work. It will also help you to prepare for quizzes andexams.5. Recitations are to help you apply the ideas of physics in given situations:that is solving problems. Never skip the recitation.6. Study with a friend, form a study group so that you can ask each otherquestions.7. Always ask for help/question if you do not understand solution or concepts.All parts of this syllabus are tentative and subject to revision. The timeline for thiscourse (including lectures, labs and recitations) may need to be adjusted in theevent of severe weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
