    Course Introduction 

    AP Physics 1 is an algebra-based, introductory college-level physics course. Students develop their understanding of physics through inquiry-based investigations as they explore the following topics: kinematics; dynamics; work & energy; impulse & linear momentum; circular motion and universal gravitation; torque, rotational motion & angular momentum; simple harmonic motion; electric charge and electric force; DC circuits; mechanical waves and sound; general and special relativity; and quantum mechanics. 

    Shown below are the following topics covered in AP Physics 1 with the College Board's recommendation of allotted time per unit and weight distrubution on the AP Physics 1 Exam.
