Physics 050 extends the introductory study of physical laws and concentrates on governing motion and forces to two dimensions. It also looks at electrostatics and electromagnetism. It uses mathematics to describe physical phenomena, with extensive use of vectors and trigonometry. In addition, the course’s laboratory experiments enhance the understanding of physical concepts and develop skills in planning, performing, and analyzing experiments. This course is equivalent to Physics 12.
