To add an attendee/student and register, please Syllabus of Physics I
This course focuses on teaching Physics mechanics and is designed for students who have
completed Algebra in math. No prior Physics experience is necessary. Upon completion of this
course, students will be prepared to take the AP Physics I test and participate in the “F=ma”
Contest, which is part of the selection process for the U.S. Physics Olympic team. (The selection
process includes two exams: the \"F=ma\" and the \"USA Physics Olympiad\" (USAPhO).) The
course covers the following content:
1. Introduction of Physics
2. Vectors
----- Definition of Vectors
----- Addition of Vectors
----- Subtraction of Vectors
----- Components of Vectors
3. Kinematics
---- Velocity, displacement, and Acceleration
---- Kinematics equations
---- Acceleration due to gravity
---- Graphic analysis of Motion
---- Projectile motion
---- Uniform Circular motion
4. Forces and Newton’s Laws
---- Forces (Weight, Friction, Normal forces)
---- Newton’s law of Motion and application
---- Central Forces
5. Energy
---- Work
---- Power
---- Kinetic Energy and the Work-Energy Theorem
---- Conservation of Energy and Systems
6. Oscillatory Motion
---- Simple Harmonic Motion: A Mass on a Spring
---- Simple Harmonic Motion: A simple Pendulum
7. Gravitation
---- Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation
---- Gravitation Energy
8. Impacts and Linear Momentum
---- Impact Forces and Momentum changes
---- The Law of Conservation of Linear Momentum
---- Elastic and Inelastic Collision
9. Rotational Motion
---- Parallel Forces and Moments
---- Torque
---- Moment of Inertia
---- Angular Kinematics
---- Angular Momentum.
10. Fluids
---- Liquid pressure
---- Archimedes Principle
---- Mass continuity and Bernoulli's equation
