HPHYSIC-452 Physics 2 for the Health Professions

Prerequisite: none. This course focuses on application of critical thinking and analytical reasoning skills towards learning new concepts in physics and applying the principles of physics to specific problems in patient care.  This course is a two-part introductory physics sequence intended for non-physics science majors. The first part includes topics in mechanics, simple machines, and energy.  Many of the problems and examples discussed will be relevant to biomechanics of the human body and physical activities. Calculus is not required for this course.  The lab for this course provides a hands-on experience using a lab kit. You will perform experiments on your own, record your notes and results, respond to pre- and post-experiment questions and write a final lab report.
