This is the second course of a two-semester introductory calculus-based physics sequence. It is a comprehensive study of mechanics and electromagnetism designed to provide a solid foundation in physics principles and problem-solving techniques for all cadets. The course consists of a detailed study of the principles of conservation of energy and momentum for translational and rotational motion, orbital mechanics, and basic electromagnetic phenomena of electrostatics, magnetic fields, and circuits. An integrated laboratory program illustrates basic scientific principles and serves to stimulate intellectual curiosity. The core program is structured around a military storyline that demonstrates the relevancy of the physics to technology of the Army of the 21st Century.
