This course provides an overview of how aspects of the natural world can be modeled using the laws of mechanics within the contexts of everyday life, including astronomy and biology. Students will learn conceptual and calculational tools used to discover the essential physics observed in everyday experiences. Suitable for students seeking an introductory-level general-interest science course, and students seeking to prepare for taking other first year Physics and Astronomy courses. May not be used for credit in a Physics and Astronomy Honours, Joint Honours, or Major program. Not available to students who have previously obtained credit (grade of C or better) in PHYS 1020, PHYS 1021, PHYS 1050, or PHYS 1051 [3 credits]
