My name is Neil Alberding

This course covers mechanics — things like kinema4cs: mathema4cal descrip4on of mo4on,

dynamics: how forces affect mo4on,

momentum and mechanical energy,

solid body rota4ons,

oscilla4ons

Welcome to Physics 120


Lectures and Tutorials

There are three lectures a week, 1 hr each

and one tutorial, 1 hr

no lab in this course. Physics 131 is a separate lab course that you may take along with Physics 121.

If you like lab with course you can take Physics 140/141 in Surrey

smartPhysics includes: 1. Online PreLectures (animated lessons, completed

before lecture)

2. Online CheckPoints (quizzes to check knowledge,

completed before lecture)

3. Lectures (interacDve, with clicker acDviDes)

4. Online homework exercises

OpDonal Textbook: Tipler & Mosca: Physics for Scien<sts

and Engineers, 6th ed (or earlier)

smartPhysics and Course Overview


You will VIEW PreLectures before class.

How we’ll use smartPhysics



Next, you’ll complete a CheckPoint quiz before lecture to CHECK your understanding of the PreLecture.



COME to Lecture!The lecture will be more interacDve because of the work

you’ve done before class.



Next, you must complete assigned homework problems.

A single assignment may contain mulDple problems.


How we’ll use the textbook

READ the Textbook as needed for review or beUer understanding. It presents the same material in a different way.

STUDY the Textbook problems, with soluDons

WORK the Textbook end-‐of-‐chapter problems, odd ones have answers.

Not required. You may live without it, buy a used one, borrow one from a library, use wikipedia or any other resources
