AP Physics 2: Algebra-Based Course Content
Students explore principles of fluids, thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, optics, and topics in modern physics. The course is based on seven Big Ideas, which encompass core scientific principles, theories, and processes that cut across traditional boundaries and provide a broad way of thinking about the physical world. The following are Big Ideas:
•
Objects and systems have properties such as mass and charge.Systems may have internal structure.
•
Fields existing in space can be used to explain interactions.
•
The interactions of an object with other objects can be
described by forces.
•
Interactions between systems can result in changes in those systems.
•
Changes that occur as a result of interactions are constrained by conservation laws.
•
Waves can transfer energy and momentum from one location to another without the permanent transfer of mass and serve as a mathematical model for the description of other phenomena.
•
The mathematics of probability can be used to describe the behavior of complex systems and to interpret the behavior of quantum mechanical systems.
