AP Physics 11

The AP version of this course is very different from Physics 11 and explores physics concepts in greater depth and mathematical rigour. Students study kinematics, focusing on how an object’s motion can be described, analyzed, and predicted; dynamics, examining the forces involved in one-dimensional, two-dimensional, circular, and rotational motion; statics; and fluid mechanics. The course also covers work and energy, as well as momentum and impulse, providing a comprehensive foundation in advanced mechanics. This is a fast-paced, rigorous course in which students will continuously engage in problem-solving and experimental design, stretching their mathematical skills. Graphical analysis is a critical component of the work in this course. Students will write the AP Physics 1 exam in May.

Course Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus 11 completed (recommended) or concurrent is required.
