Advanced Placement Physics C: Mechanics 

​

1 credit year, Grades 11-12

​

How can we describe the way objects move and interact?

​

This course explores calculus-based mechanics and prepares students for the Advanced Placement Physics C: Mechanics exam in May. Topics include an in-depth study of Newton’s Laws, energy, momentum, rotational dynamics, and oscillations. AP Physics C: Mechanics covers fewer topics than Physics with the addition of more depth and rigorous mathematics. Students are expected to have completed or be concurrently enrolled in AP Calculus AB. Students are required to complete summer assignments.
