Learn Physics Get College Credit Understand Science Better
3
An Inch Deep… Math ~ Algebra 1, with a Smidge of Trig and A Mile Wide Lots and lots of material. We will cover ~ 1 concept/day.
4
Unit 1 Kinematics Unit 2 Newton’s Laws Unit 3 Work/Energy/Power Momentum Unit 4 Uniform Circular Motion / Gravitation Unit 5 Heat Temperture Unit 6 Waves Unit 7 - Fluid Mechanics Unit 8 - Geometric Optics Unit 9 Electrostatics Unit 10 Electric Circuits Unit 11 Magnetism Unit 12 - Modern Physics
5
Unit 1 Kinematics Kinematics Chapter 2, 3 Kinematics is the study of the motion of objects. Also known as projectile motion. One dimensional kinematics Free fall Two dimensional kinematics Graphs of motion
6
Unit 2 Newton’s Laws Newton’s Laws of MotionChapter 4 Also known as Dynamics; Newton’s Laws of motion tell us what causes objects to move. What is mass? (first cut) Newton’s Second Law Newton’s Third Law Weight v Mass Free Body Diagrams
7
Unit 3 Work/Energy/Power Momentum Chapter 6, 7 We study kinetic energy, potential energy, and the flow of energy back and forth. What is work? The law of conservation of momentum is fundamental to physics.
8
Unit 4 Uniform Circular Motion / Gravitation Chapter 5 Mechanics of constant speed circular motion. Ferris Wheel Problem Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation Orbital Motion and Weightlessness Rotational Statics (Ch 9)
9
Unit 5 Heat Temperture Thermodynamics Chapters 13, 14, 15 How do physicists view heat? Law of conservation of energy. Ideal Gas Law Adiabatic
10
Unit 6 Waves Chapter 11, 12, 24 Simple harmonic motion Wave motion Types of waves Frequency/Period/Wavelength/Velocity Interference Standing Waves Refraction Sound waves Physical optics (light as a wave)
11
Unit 7 - Fluid Mechanics Chapter 10 Density Pressure in Fluids Pascal’s Principle Buoyancy/Archimedes Principle Bernoulli’s Equation
12
Unit 8 - Geometric Optics Chapter 23 In this unit we’ll study the behavior of mirrors and thin lenses. How does a magnifying glass work? Where is the image?
13
Unit 9 Electrostatics Unit 9 Electrostatics Chapters 16, 17 What is electricity? What causes electricity? Electric Field Coulomb’s Law Electric Potential Gravitational v Electrical Potential Capac itance
14
Unit 10 Electric Circuits Chapter 18, 19 Batterys Ohm’s Law EMF Resistors in Series/Parallel Capacitors in Series/Parallel Power in Circuits Ammeters/Voltmeters
15
Unit 11 Magnetism Chapters 20, 21, 22 Electromagnetic Induction Electromagnetism Electric Generators Electromagnetic Waves
