AP Physics C Mechanics

This highly demanding 3-mod course follows the syllabus of the AP Physics C: Mechanics exam, preparing students for calculus-based physics at the university level. Topics include Newton’s laws of motion, work, energy, linear and angular momentum, circular motion, rotation, universal gravity, oscillations, and simple harmonic motion. Students learn how to solve complex physics problems using differential and integral calculus. Students must have mastered multi-variable algebra, trigonometry, vectors, logarithms, exponents, and mathematical modeling of data with and without a graphing calculator, as well as basic differentiation and integration. Students are required to complete a substantial summer assignment in preparation for this course.

Taking the AP Physics C: Mechanics exam is a requirement of this course.
