AP Physics C: Mechanics
AP Physics C is an extensive and demanding study of mechanics. AP Physics C is equivalent to a one-semester, calculus-based, college-level physics course, especially appropriate for students planning to specialize or major in physical science or engineering. The course explores topics such as kinematics; Newton’s laws of motion; work, energy, and power; systems of particles and linear momentum; circular motion and rotation; and oscillations and gravitation. Introductory differential and integral calculus are used throughout the course. Students will be responsible to complete a summer assignment for this course.
