AP Physics C: Mechanics
Seven College Board units (2024–25 framework) covering calculus-based kinematics, dynamics, and rotational motion.
Los nombres y detalles de los estándares pueden seguir en inglés en interfaces que no estén en inglés.
Unit 1: Kinematics (10–15%)
Position, velocity, and acceleration in one, two, and three dimensions, and reference frames.
Core
Unit 2: Force and Translational Dynamics (20–25%)
Newton's laws, free-body diagrams, gravitational, friction, spring, and resistive forces, and circular motion.
Core
Unit 3: Work, Energy, and Power (15–25%)
Kinetic and potential energy, work, conservation of energy, and power.
Core
Unit 4: Linear Momentum (10–20%)
Momentum, impulse, and elastic and inelastic collisions.
Core
Unit 5: Torque and Rotational Dynamics (10–15%)
Torque, rotational inertia, and Newton's laws in rotational form.
Core
Unit 6: Energy and Momentum of Rotating Systems (10–15%)
Rotational kinetic energy, angular momentum, rolling motion, and orbiting satellites.
Core
Unit 7: Oscillations (10–15%)
Simple harmonic motion, its energy, and simple and physical pendulums.
