Course Overview
This rigorous, calculus-based course picks up exactly where first-year AP Physics leaves off. We begin with Unit 1—Static Equilibrium—then move continuously through rotational dynamics, oscillations, gravitation,, and finish with Unit 2—

-
Conceptual Mastery: You must understand the “why” behind every equation, diagram, and limiting case.
-
Quantitative Problem-Solving: You must translate physical situations into precise mathematics, execute flawless algebra/calculus, and interpret numerical answers in context.
Course Expectations
• Complete engagement during discussions, labs, and derivations.
• Weekly problem sets that integrate multiple units and spiral previous content.
• Quizzes every Friday to keep skills sharp; full-period exams at the end of each unit.
• A design-your-own experiment in magnetism (Unit 20) to reinforce modeling and data-analysis techniques.

Mindset
Physics is not a spectator sport. Bring curiosity, disciplined work habits, and a willingness to grapple with ambiguity. If you commit fully, this single semester will reshape how you see forces, fields, and the natural world.
