Southern Regional High School Manahawkin, New Jersey Course Syllabus Department: Science Course: AP Physics I Marking Period 1 Topics/Units to be covered: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Classroom Expectations/Grading Lab Safety Vocabulary and key terms. All motion is measured based on a reference frame. Appropriate SI units for time, displacement, velocity and acceleration. Velocity is a vector ratio between displacement and time. Acceleration is a vector ratio between velocity and time. Motion can be analyzed through graphs. Vectors can be used to describe the motion of an object. The value for acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s . The orthogonal components of an object’s velocity are completely independent. 2 Create pictorial and physical models for solving motion problems.
