Physics is the study of motion. In this course, students will learn about motion in one and two dimensions, rotational motion, force, power, momentum, and energy. Students will explore topics such as thermodynamics, optics, and wave mechanics. Finally, they will gain a basic understanding of atomic subatomic physics, electricity, and magnetism.
Students will be provided with Physics
