AP Physics 1

Welcome to APP1!

For the most up to date schedule information please see the course calendar (fall, spring)


This course covers the following topics using algebraic methods only:

  • Describing motion in 1 and 2 dimensions (Kinematics & Projectiles)

  • Forces

  • Uniform Circular Motion & Gravitation

  • Momentum

  • Energy

  • Rotation

  • Simple Harmonic Motion


As students of physics I also firmly believe it is important we study mechanical waves, electric circuits and geometric optics.

Details will be posted regularly in google classroom

Please be sure to take advantage of TwuPhysics and AP Classroom. If you haven't already, I strongly recommend you buy the book "5 Steps to a 5" by Greg Jacobs as your practice book.


Our primary text is College Physics by Randall Knight but we will also supplement with College Physics, Explore and Apply by Eugina Etkina
