AP Physics 1 - Topics & Resources
| Unit | Description | Videos | Practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ▶1: Kinematics | How stuff moves | Tutorials & Notes | Problems & Worksheets |
| This unit focuses on describing how things move through space & time. We'll be representing motion in 1 & 2 dimensions, calculating and predicting acceleration, velocity, position etc. mathematically, graphically, and with vectors. | Notes: •Chandler's Kinematics Playlist |
Worksheets: •Constant Acceleration •Graphing Motion Practice: •Practice Problems |
| ▶2: Linear Dynamics | Why things move the way they do | Tutorials & Notes | Problems & Worksheets |
| We'll study Newton's 3 Laws of motion and how they apply to real world scenarios. We'll learn how to use free body diagrams to solve problems involving different types of forces using Newton's 2nd law. And, finally, we'll see how we can represent these types of interactions and systems graphically. | Extra videos: Walkthrough 1 Animations |

| ▶3: Energy & Work | The energy for every push & pull | Tutorials & Notes | Problems & Worksheets |
| Where does the energy to apply a force to an object come from? We'll talk about energy and work in this unit - how energy is transferred and transformed and ultimately conserved. We will cover fundamental physics concepts and use them to solve problems with calulations and using other representations. | Extra videos: Walkthrough 1 Animations |
