Past the AP Curriculum

Started

While the AP Curriculum gives an introduction to many concepts important in the study of physics, certain aspects of selected topics are sometimes presented briefly, or not covered in a traditional class. These sessions will aim to provide additional insight into various topics starting in mechanics, with more sessions added later. Emphasis will be placed on problem solving, which could assist in future physics courses at the college level, or in planned high school classes in this subject for the next school year. Necessary math will be presented as needed, so please don't let a perceived level of difficulty prevent your participation!

Mechanics - 1

11th session

We will cover all concepts of mechanics - 1 and I will provide in-depth questions and answers on the topics every day. 1) Introduction 2) Vectors for physics 3) Calculus for Physics 4) 1D Kinematics 5) 2D Kinematics 6) Projectile Motion 7) Uniform Circular Motion 8) Force and Laws of Motion 9) Work, Energy and Momentum 10) Collisions and Power 11) Centre of Mass 12) Torque and Angular Velocity, Acceleration and Momentum 13) Centre of Gravity 14) Moment of Inertia 15) Rotational Motion Kinematics 16) Universal Law of Gravitation And do practice problems. The sessions will be weekly twice, and you will be provided practice problems daily with solutions and discussions of doubts will happen every session. We can edit the pace according to you all. The pre-requisites will be: 1) Algebra: Basic algebra, Linear equations and linear inequalities, quadratic equations and functions(basics) 2) Geometry: Basics, Co-ordinate Geometry (Basics), Understanding angles 3) Trigonometry: Trigonometric identities and equations, Sine and cosine rules, Unit circle and trigonometric functions, Graphs of trigonometric functions 4) Statistics: Mean, median, mode, and standard deviation, understanding of data representation and interpretation. Let's have fun and learn. PS: I will be adding more sessions.

AP Physics 1 Prep (understanding concepts)

10th session

Having taken AP Physics 1 last year, I know the pacing of the class is quite fast, I was expected to come to class, already have watched assigned videos, and ready to work. Through this course, I aim to prepare students taking AP Physics 1 next year by taking the time to explain the foundation concepts of physics and give students the time to ponder and ask any questions they have. A feature that may not be available to them in the actual AP Physics class because of its pace.

Crash Course Physics Part 1– Kinematics and Forces in 2 weeks!

Starts

This course will go over the first part of mechanics at a fast pace. After taking this course, you will have a good understanding of Kinematics and Forces, preparing you for part 2 of Mechanics. This will provide a good background for those taking Physics 1 next year, or Physics C Mechanics. This course is a starter level course, and no prior Physics is required. Depending on whether or not you guys want to, I can cover the calculus concepts as well! Recommended knowledge: Algebra 1&2 No prior Physics knowledge required About the tutor: Hi, I'm Bill, and I've recently taken AP Physics C and AP Physics C EM, which I scored 5s on. I am hoping to spread my knowledge to you guys through this crash course on Mechanics!

Sunday, July 28

  • Introductory Mechanics (for learners with no background)

12:00 AM - 1:00 AM

We'll learn the very basics of mechanics in physics, including kinematics, Newton's Laws, and do a few practice problems on those topics. We can also answer any questions you choose to bring up (not limited to the aforementioned topics).
This session is designed for learners with no or little prior background in physics, and we'll start from the ground up.
