AP Physics C Mechanics provides instruction in each of the following areas: kinematics; Newton’s laws of motion; work, energy, and power; systems of particles and linear momentum; circular motion and rotations; and oscillations and gravitation. Guided inquiry and hands-on learning will foster the development of critical thinking skills and will use introductory differential and integral calculus throughout the course. Enrolled students are required to take the AP Physics C: Mechanics exam in May. Co-requisites: Calculus AB or BC, and departmental recommendation
