AP Physics 1 is an algebra-based, introductory college-level physics course. Before taking this course, students should have completed geometry and be concurrently taking Algebra II or an equivalent course. In AP Physics 1, students will learn and cultivate their understanding of physics in these topics: kinematics, motion, and its types, gravitation, energy, momentum, simple harmonics, torque, electric charge, DC circuits, waves, and sound. This course teaches students how objects and systems have properties such as mass & charge and how forces are used to describe the interactions of objects with other objects. Students will also learn how waves can transfer energy and momentum from one location to another without the permanent transfer of mass.
