Calc based physics
DrMobius:
The calculus based physics class. B is algebra.
Otis Da HousKat:
Well no duh, I meant what topics will it cover?
In college we never did algebra based physics so I have no idea what they are.

I don't know
That's the thing. It would likely be this:
Kinematics
Newton's laws of motion
Work, energy, power
Systems of particles, linear momentum
Circular motion and rotation
Oscillations and gravitation
Electrostatics
Conductors, capacitors, dielectric
Electric circuits
Magnetic fields
Electromagnetism
Otis Da HousKat:
Yep, that was the exact curriculum that I had in my first college physics class up to gravitation. Except we had a unit on static equilibrium thrown in as prep for the statics class I am in now.
P.S. Mechanics can go die. Electricity all the way!
DrMobius:
How much of that can be done with Calc AB material?
