PHYS050 Provincial Physics

(120 contact hours)

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.

Restrictions: Must have been admitted to an NLC program.

Other Prerequisites: One of: PHYS 040 with a grade of C or higher, or equivalent Physics 11 with a grade of C or higher, or equivalent And one of: MATH 040 or higher with a grade of C or higher, or equivalent Foundations of Math 11 or higher with a grade of C or higher, or equivalent Pre-calculus 11 or higher with a grade of C or higher, or equivalent Provincial Level Placement or higher on the CCP Assessment of Math Skills
