PHYS& 222 - Engineering Physics II with Lab

• Demonstrate a detailed understanding of Newton’s Theory of Gravity and apply this theory to simple physical systems.
• Describe the behaviors of fluids under the influence of changes in pressure, temperature and mechanical forces.
• Explain the transfer of thermal energy as it related to changes in temperature, state of materials, and work done by heat engines.
• Explain how vibrational energy can be used to create sound. 
• Describe the components of a wave and relate those components to mechanical vibrations, sound, and decibel level.
•  Analyze a written problem or observed phenomena, simplify it, identify the key known and unknown features, make predictions, and evaluate those predictions based on the principles of physics.
• Solve quantitative problems related to gravity, fluids, thermal and vibrational energy using algebra, trigonometry, and calculus.
• Design and carry out laboratory experiments that relate to gravity, fluids, thermal and vibrational energy.
