If you had to choose between being hit by a meandering hippo or a schnauzer in full sprint, what would you choose? Does it matter? Can you calculate the launch angle of a projectile to hit a target if you know the distance and height of your target? How would that change if we were on the moon? In this problem-based curriculum, you will be solving these questions and many more. AP Physics I is essentially the first semester of a university-level physics course. We will cover kinematics and dynamics, gravitation and circular motion, work, energy, power, linear momentum, torque and rotational motion, simple harmonic motion, and fluids. The goal is to provide you with a deeper understanding of the physical world, enhance your natural curiosity, and strengthen your ability to reason clearly and effectively. You will be prepared to take the Advanced Placement Physics I exam at the end of the year.
