2 pages
Unit 1: Kinematics
CED Topics 1.1–1.5 — vectors and scalars, displacement/velocity/acceleration, motion graphs, reference frames, and projectile motion, organized by AP topic.
18 pages
Unit 2: Force and Translational Dynamics
CED Topics 2.1–2.9 — systems and center of mass, forces and free-body diagrams, Newton's Laws, gravitation, friction, springs, and circular motion, organized by AP topic.
14 pages
Unit 3: Work, Energy, and Power
Work, energy, and power — how a single scalar quantity, energy, tracks a system through motion without ever needing a full force analysis.
7 pages
Unit 4: Linear Momentum
Linear momentum, impulse, and collisions — what stays conserved when objects crash, bounce, or stick together.
Coming Soon
Unit 5: Torque and Rotational Dynamics
Torque and rotational dynamics — Newton's laws all over again, this time for things that spin instead of slide.
Coming Soon
Unit 6: Energy and Momentum of Rotating Systems
Rotational energy and angular momentum — the spinning counterparts of the conservation laws from Units 3 and 4.
Coming Soon
Unit 7: Oscillations
Oscillations — springs, pendulums, and the repeating motion that shows up anywhere a system gets nudged away from equilibrium.
Coming Soon
Unit 8: Fluids
Fluids — pressure, buoyancy, and how the same force concepts from earlier units apply once matter can flow instead of staying rigid.
