Series Details

About

Starting from the beginning of Physics, we'll go through all of the topics covered on the first step of the Physics Olympiad, or the F=MA. 

Topics covered include kinematics, statics, Newton's laws, momentum and energy, oscillations, orbital mechanics, fluids, and elementary dimensions. 

I'll be going through official F=MA exams after each topic we learn, so there should be tons of potential for active learning!

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please don't miss more than 2 sessions in a row. If you can't make a session, please message me. We'll be moving relatively fast through the material, and if you don't join regularly, there will be gaps in your knowledge.

Sep

Session 1

AP Physics

Thu Sep 21, 2023, 12:00 AM

After dimensional analysis comes kinematics, which we'll be spending the next several sessions on. We'll also go into problem solving tactics.

Sep

Session 2

AP Physics

Thu Sep 28, 2023, 12:00 AM

We'll be going into kinematics, starting with velocity, position, and acceleration.

Sep

Session 3

AP Physics

Sat Sep 30, 2023, 12:00 AM

We'll be going into kinematics, starting with velocity, position, and acceleration.

Oct

Session 4

AP Physics

Fri Oct 6, 2023, 12:00 AM

We'll be continuing kinematics, with a discussion of the kinematics equation and how to approach kinematics problems.

Oct

Session 5

AP Physics

Wed Oct 11, 2023, 10:00 PM

We'll be continuing kinematics. Last lesson we learned about vectors vs scalars. The next step after that is to learn about displacement, distance, velocity, and acceleration. After that, we'll learn about the kinematic equations :)
