Master 1D and 2D Kinematics (AP Physics C: Unit 1), Quick and To-the-Point Course with Focused Lectures, Multiple Choice Quiz and Free Response Assignment.
Course Description
This course is aligned with the APÂ Physics C (Mechanics)Â curriculum and covers Unit 1 (Kinematics).
The course is problem-based, and you will get plenty of practice in:
- Plotting and interpreting motion graphs of particles
- Applying the big five kinematic equations strategically to quickly solve uniform acceleration motion problems
- Applying calculus methods to solve motion problems involving non-uniform acceleration
- Solving 2D projectile motion problems
The course is ideal for:
- APÂ Physics CÂ students
- First year university students who are taking Physics or Engineering
- Students who want to improve their problem solving skills in Physics
- Any person who wants to begin learning Physics.
At the end of this course, you will be an excellent problem solver in Kinematics and have a strong foundation to tackle the remaining APÂ Physics CÂ (Mechanics)Â Units. IÂ welcome your emails and requests, and will respond to you in a timely manner. I look forward to teaching you this course and will provide plenty of support so you get the most out of it.
