Physics

overview

Physics is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force. More broadly, it is the study of nature in an attempt to understand how the universe behaves.

+1.0 GPA

Students study concepts in each of the following six content areas: kinematics; Newton’s laws of motion; work, energy, and power; systems of particles and linear momentum circular motion and rotation; and oscillations and gravitation. A background of Calculus is required.

+0.5 GPA

Students learn and use many algebraic and trigonometric concepts while investigating physics content. Laboratory work includes graphical analysis. Topics include mechanics, electricity and magnetism, waves and optics, the Special Theory of Relativity, and atomic structure.

+0.0 GPA

Students build on basic physical science principles by in-depth exploration of the nature and characteristics of energy and its electricity and magnetism, waves and optics, and nuclear energy. The course draws connections between the concepts of physics and many everyday applications.
