Question 1

What will I learn in AP Physics C 1/2?

Accepted Answer

The AP Physics C: Mechanics courses correspond to approximately a semester of college work. Guided inquiry and student-centered learning is used to foster the development of critical thinking skills, while use of introductory differential and integral calculus pervades the course. First semester AP Physics C: Mechanics provides instruction in each of the following three content areas: kinematics (35%); Newtons laws of motion (40%); work, energy, and power (25%). The AP Physics C: Mechanics courses also include a hands-on laboratory component comparable to a semester-long introductory college-level physics laboratory. Students spend a minimum of 20 percent of instructional time engaged in hands-on laboratory work. Each student completes a lab notebook or portfolio of lab reports. It is expected that each student has a calculus-based college-level textbook (supplemented when necessary to meet the curricular requirements) for individual use inside and outside of the classroom.
