Physics 12 Course Outline Physics 12 is the study of classical mechanics and electromagnetism, and is designed to help students develop analytical and problem-solving skills. It provides opportunities for students to understand and apply the principles and concepts of physics to practical situations. Unit 1: Mathematics & Kinematics -Math in Physics -Kinematics Review -Vectors -Projectiles Unit 2: Dynamics & Torque -Types of Forces -Newton's Law -Free Body Diagrams -1 Dimensional Force Problems -Ramp Problems -Pulley Problems -Translational Equilibrium -Rotational Equilibrium and Torque Unit 3: Energy & Momentum -Work & Energy -Conservation of Energy -Power -Efficiency -Momentum -Conservation of Momentum -Collisions and Explosions -Impulse (Forces and Momentum) Unit 4: Circular Motion -Circular Motion -Centripetal Forces -Gravity -Planetary Motion -Potential Energy Unit 5: Electrostatics -Electrostatics -Coulomb's Law -Electric Fields -Electrical Potential Energy -Voltage Unit 6: Electrical Circuits -Circuits -Circuit Protection -Series and parallel Circuits -Kirchhoff’s Laws -Terminal Voltage -Power and Transmission Unit 7: Electromagnetism -Electromagnetism -Intro -Magnetic Fields -Magnetic Forces -The Velocity Selector and the Mass Spectrometer Unit 8: Inducing Current -Inducing Current -Lenz's Law -Motors and Generators -Transformers Course Evaluation - Assignments, Labs and Projects 50% of Course -Quizzes and Tests 50% of Course Student Expectations -Ability to work with others. -High level of classroom maturity. -All projects/tests/labs/assignments to be completed at the highest personal standard -For extended absence from school, other than serious illness it is the student’s responsibility to obtain work and to complete all assignments when returning to class. -If a student is absent for a test, the student will receive a “0” for that test until an excused absence is secured. If the absence is excused, the student will be given the opportunity to either write the test or make up the test in some other way as decided by the teacher. If more than one major test is missed the teacher may refer the problem to the administration when they feel it is appropriate. This is school policy. Supplies - Binder and loose-leaf. -Protractors and rulers -Scientific calculator .
