Physics

The Physics course covers the topics: motion and forces, conservation of energy and momentum, heat and thermodynamics, waves, and electric and magnetic phenomena. In this course, students learn that Newton’s laws predict the motion of most objects; the laws of conservation of energy and momentum provide a way to predict and describe the movement of objects; energy cannot be created or destroyed, although in many processes energy is transferred to the environment as heat; waves have characteristic properties that do not depend on the type of wave; and electric and magnetic phenomena are related and have many practical applications.
