AP Physics C: Mechanics

AP Physics C: Mechanics is a calculus-based, college-level physics course — appropriate for students planning to major in physical science or engineering. This course prepares you to take both the AP Physics C: Mechanics exam. Topics include kinematics, Newton’s laws of motion, systems of particles and linear momentum, circular motion and rotation, oscillations, and gravitation. Introductory differential and integral calculus are used thoroughly. This course may be combined with the spring semester AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism to create a full-year course option.
