Physics APB

Physics Advamced Placement B is a first semester trig based course that deals with the behavior of matter and energy. The coures is made up of five large subject areas, Mechanics - The study of motion and forces that cause motion Electromagnetism - The study of what forces effect electrical charges Waves - The study of waves, and more specifically the study of light and sound. Fluids and thrermodynamics - the study of fluids and heat energy Modern Physics - Quantum Mechanics and the development of modern physics theory
