Physics A
Course Description:
In Physics A, you will learn about the “basics” of physics: how to describe and analyze motion, how forces interact with matter, and how to further describe these interactions with the aid of the concepts of energy and momentum. Finally, you’ll explore one more specialized topic, thermodynamics, the physics of heat.

At the end of this course students will be able to: Accurately describe and analyze motion along a linear path in mathematical terms, including distance, velocity, and acceleration. Mathematically describe and analyze motion along a curved path, using vectors as a mathematical tool in this process. Explore and apply the laws of dynamics, relating forces and motion. Use the concepts of energy, work, and momentum to analyze complex physical situations, including situations in which two or more bodies interact with each other. Observe, analyze, and predict effects of periodic motion, including such everyday motions as a child swinging back and forth on a swing, an object bobbing up and down on a spring, or a planet traveling in an orbit around a star. Explore and understand the relationship between temperature, heat, and energy, and understand the ways in which heat can be transferred from one body to another.
