About Course

AP Physics C: Mechanics is a rigorous, college-level course focused on the study of motion and the forces that cause it. It requires a strong foundation in calculus as it uses mathematical tools to describe and analyze physical phenomena.

The course covers topics such as:

Kinematics: describing motion with position, velocity, and acceleration.
Newton’s laws of motion: understanding the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.
Work, energy, and power: exploring concepts of energy transfer and transformation.
Linear momentum and collisions: analyzing the behavior of objects in motion and their interactions.
Rotational motion: studying the motion of rigid bodies around a fixed axis.
Oscillations and gravitation: investigating periodic motion and the force of gravity.
Similar to its counterpart, AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism, this course emphasizes problem-solving, critical thinking, and laboratory experimentation. It is designed to prepare students for advanced physics or engineering programs.
