Physics is an algebraic, trigonometric, and geometric based study of classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism including laws of motion, forces, momentum, work, energy and wave motion, rotational motion, electric charges, electric currents, circuits, magnetism, and magnetic effects.
The course provides a critical understanding of general scientific principles, with an emphasis on the fundamental principles that govern the physical universe, including the principles underlying physical theories and processes of scientific discovery, and the nature of scientific evidence upon which contemporary physics theories are based.
Students will apply physical principles and concepts to problems that affect their lives, in particular, and our society, in general. They will also analyze physical systems, solve problems, and answer questions using mathematics appropriate to physics and performing calculations appropriate to the task.
The course will allow students to clearly communicate fundamental knowledge particular to physics with their peers using appropriate vocabulary and demonstrate a thorough understanding of the basic principles of Newtonian dynamics, kinematics, energy, and momentum. Students will also develop a clear understanding of the scientific method and its application in all areas of problem solving.
