Physics/Honors Physics

This course is designed to introduce students to the basic ideas of physics, with an emphasis on Classical Mechanics. We plan to cover basic ideas of motion, including kinematics, dynamics, energy, and gravity, and how all of these things apply to our lives. We will focus on classical mechanics and Newton’s laws of motion.

The following are topics that will be covered and/or discussed in class:

Lab Safety

Linear Kinematics

Dynamics/Force and Newton’s Laws

Energy

Torque and Rotational Motion

Momentum and Collisions

Newton’s Laws of Gravitational Motion

Electricity and Circuits
