Introduction to Physics

Study.com Introduction to Physics builds quantitative reasoning about the physical world: measurement, units, and vectors; kinematics and dynamics (Newton’s laws, forces, friction, circular motion); work, energy, and momentum; gravitation basics; properties of matter, fluids, and thermodynamics introduction; vibrations, waves, and sound; geometric optics introduction; electricity and magnetism fundamentals (charge, electric fields, circuits, magnetism); and modern physics previews such as quantization where covered. Video lessons, practice, and assessments align with a college-level introductory algebra-based physics survey. Credit is earned through the College Accelerator plan; courses carry ACE and NCCRS recommendations. Always confirm transfer with your receiving institution.
