Course Description: APEX Calculus-based Physics is a calculated-based, college-level physics course on mechanics. It covers kinematics; force and translational dynamics; work, energy and power; linear momentum; torque and rotational dynamics of rigid bodies; oscillatory motions. This course is designed for high school students who plan to take the calculus-based AP Mechanics exam (AP Physics C: Mechanics). Students must have completed univariate calculus and algebraic mechanics physics courses. The course focuses on introducing basic mechanical concepts and principles, and cultivates students to use Newton's three laws and calculus tools to analyze and solve basic mechanical problems. The course lasts 10 weeks, a total of 30 hours, and is taught online.
Prerequisite: APEX M02 (Calculus), APEX P1 and P02 (Algebra-based Physics) or the equivalent.
