Goals 1. To instruct students of the fundamental laws of physics and the application of scientific data, concepts, and models for use in the natural sciences and real world situations. 2. To provide students with problem solving skills by an approach that describes physical phenomena with relevant mathematical models and formula. 3. To instruct students in the competent use of laboratory equipment to collect and record data, apply relevant mathematical models and perform required computations, and present the derived results as an application of a measured observation of the physical world. 4. To have students prepare a written laboratory report that effectively interprets and communicates their results.
Course Content The lab course consists of mechanics and electricity experiments. In the mechanics experiments, the use of vernier caliper and micrometer, using force table to experimentally determine the force which balances two other forces, studying and analyzing the position and velocity of the motion with constant velocity, the acceleration of a straight-line motion with constant acceleration, horizontal projectile (two-dimensional) motion of an object moving on an inclined air table, conservation of linear momentum are included. In the electricity experiments, the use of circuit board, resistors and wires to create series and parallel circuits, the use of digital ammeter to measure DC voltage and current, constructing different circuits using resistors, tungsten filament bulb, diode and wires on a breadboard from circuit diagrams are included. The use of oscilloscope commonly used to display and analyze the waveform of electronic signals is also introduced.
Learning Outcomes 1) Students experimentally verify theoretical physics expressions.
2) Students gain the competent use of laboratory equipments.
3) They learn about measurement systems.
4) They experience group study. They analyze problems and reach solutions
