About This Course

Study.com Physics I with Lab integrates first-semester mechanics concepts with laboratory practice: measurement, uncertainty, unit conversion, and data analysis; kinematics and dynamics experiments; energy, momentum, and rotational motion labs as applicable; oscillations and waves lab introduction; electrical measurement basics where the course includes instrumentation and DC circuit exercises; reporting and interpreting results vs. theory. Video lessons, lab-style investigations, practice, and assessments align with an introductory physics course that includes lab credit. Credit is earned through the College Accelerator plan; courses carry ACE and NCCRS recommendations. Always confirm lab credit, equipment expectations, and transfer with your receiving institution.

General education & majors

Degree requirements differ by college and catalog year; always verify gen-ed rules and transfer credit with your advisor.

Programs requiring a separate on-campus lab may not accept online lab credit — confirm gen-ed and major rules and whether Physics 111 lecture alone satisfies your requirement.

What You'll Learn

  • Perform measurements and propagate uncertainty using consistent SI units and appropriate precision.
  • Design or follow experimental procedures to test mechanics concepts and compare with predictions.
  • Analyze datasets graphically and statistically at the level expected in introductory physics labs.
  • Communicate methods, results, and limitations in structured lab-style reporting.
  • Apply safety and instrumentation literacy common to undergraduate physics laboratories.
