Welcome to PHYS 1120: General Physics II Section 01
Subject Matter fluids, electricity & magnetism, optics, modern physics
Whats the Point? Physics is basic Physics is the secrets of the universe Physics is problem-solving
Subjects Fluids density and pressure principles of hydraulics volume transport Bernoulli s principle
Subjects Electrostatics charge and force polarization electric field potential energy capacitance
Subjects Current conductors, insulators, and resistors resistivity circuits equivalent resistance decay of a charged capacitor
Subjects Magnetism magnetic poles and magnetic field electric charges in magnetic fields magnetic fields from electric charges Magnetic induction circuits equivalent resistance
Subjects Induction energy conversion (motors, generators, ) resonant circuits Amp re s law Electromagnetic waves reflection and refraction Optics lenses and mirrors compound optics
Subjects Special relativity time dilation, length contraction, loss of simultaneity mingling time and space energy and momentum Quantum mechanics wave-particle duality uncertainty principle fundamental particles
Subjects Nuclear physics stability and radioactivity nuclear reactions
Who are You? Please clearly write your first and last name and pronouns on both sides of the tent card Your Name Your Name Please bring your tent card to every class First Last
Group Work Introduce yourself to your neighbors. Tell them something boring about yourself your home town your family your name or anything else associated with you Tell your group and write it down.
Index cards Your name The boring thing you told your neighbors Anything you d like me to know
Who am I? Born and raised in Baltimore Ph.D. Caltech M.Ed. John Carroll U Physics teacher since 2005
Where Ive taught University of Wyoming Newman University Champhira Community Day Secondary School Maine School of Science and Mathematics
Standards-based grading Scored on standards, not points The more standards you meet, the higher your final grade
Meeting the Standards Last assessment matters Don t blow off early assessments: learn! If lots of folks miss a standard, I ll re-quiz If you personally miss a standard: Work some more problems See me for a re-assessment I want you to succeed.
Exams Thursday evenings 4 exams: 3 midterms and final Assess on standards (no numeric score)
Scores on Standards All or nothing Unless the standard has parts to it then each part is all or nothing
Labs Monday, Tuesday, Thursday Room STEM 175 (Enzi building, NW) First labs next week No labs this week
Discussion Sections Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays Different rooms First discussions next week No discussions this week
Class work Intended as group work Not graded I will check for attendance
Homework No points: for practice Additional exercises may be required for retakes
Textbook Textbook: Serway & Vuille, College Physics, 11th ed. (req.)
