General Physics I
Course Text

● This course does not require a text.

Course Description

This course will start with a descriptive approach. You will first learn about kinematics-the
branch of mechanics that describes motion. From mechanics you’ll move to the study of
energy, power, and momentum. These concepts will be defined rigorously. You’ll learn how
Newton’s laws need to be modified in order to avoid limitations: a few new and simple ideas
introduced by Einstein. To conclude you’ll learn about Heat and Thermodynamics, including
the 1st and 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. This course requires knowledge of basic algebra,
trigonometry, and elementary calculus.

Course Objectives

After completing this course, students will be able to:
● understand the basic principles pertaining to Newtonian mechanics
● apply these principles to solve practical problems in these areas of study

Course Prerequisites

StraighterLine does not require prerequisites, however it is suggested that students have
finished Calculus I (MAT250) prior to enrolling to ensure the best possible outcome.

Important Terms
In this course, different terms are used to designate tasks:
● Exam: A graded online test.
● Exercises: ungraded practice exercises and quiz questions.

Course Evaluation Criteria

StraighterLine does not apply letter grades. Students earn a score as a percentage of 100%. A
passing percentage is 70% or higher.

If you have chosen a Partner College to award credit for this course, your final grade will be
based upon that college’s grading scale. Only passing scores will be considered by Partner
Colleges for an award of credit.

There are a total of 1000 points in the course:
