AP Physics: Vectors and Dynamics - Master the Principles
What you'll learn
- AP Physics 1 Vectors
- AP Physics 1 Newton's Laws
- AP Physics 1 Forces
- AP Physics 1 Dynamics
Requirements
- Introductory High School Physics
Description
This course provides a great opportunity to master Physics from the comfort of your home. It is designed for students who are planning to do AP Physics, and in particular AP Physics 1. Its content is also an ideal for those studying towards most Advanced High School and 1st-year University Physics programs, for example, A Level Physics and Physics 101 university courses. The course curriculum covers Vectors, Vector Algebra. Forces and Dynamics. Examples are taken from common AP Physics 1 Review texts. The approach used is to identify and lay out the key concepts then thoroughly explain them before applying the material covered to typical examination problems.
The Topics covered in this course are:
Definitions and Examples of Vectors and Scalars
Vector Addition
Manipulating Vectors
Resolving Vectors
Working with Coordinate Axis
Nature of Forces
Newton's Three Laws
Friction as a Force
Applications of Newton's Laws to:
AP Physics tension problems
AP Physics pulley problems
AP Physics problems that involve bodies on inclined planes
AP Physics problems that involve connected bodies
Where possible the examples used come from past AP Physics examinations.
This course is ideal for the following students:
Students who need to "polish up" their understanding of Vector and Dynamics concepts in preparation for AP Physics 1 or A Level examinations.
Students who feel they are generally competent in AP Physics topics but need to achieve a higher level of mastery in Vectors and Dynamics.
This course provides a great foundation for aspects of AP Physics C (Mechanics, Newtonian Mechanics and Newton's Laws of Motion).
Who this course is for:
- High School Physics students who are preparing for the AP Physics Exam
- A Level Students
Instructor
I am an Educator with 20 years experience teaching Physics at various levels and to a number of syllabuses. I feel privileged to have touched the learning paths of thousands of students over the years. The results that my students have obtained have been excellent with up to 70% of my IGCSE students obtaining A grades in Physics. I have a knack for explaining Physics concepts and I love to do it!
