<p>For all of you are currently taking AP Physics, Could you please tell me what your class is up to?
Thanks, star*child</p>
<p>we finished motion and kinematics, forces, momentum, energy, rotational motion (hate it) and gravity. we are testing over it all this friday ( we won't be in the class anymore this week cuz of finals)</p>
<p>we're takin a test on thermodynamics tomorrow. finished kinematics, forces, momentum, energy, fluids, rotational motion, heat... and i think somethin else but i dont remember. reviewing optics and waves over break</p>
<p>We are on Work,Energy, Power ( I think we finished it) Starting Impulse and Momentum after semester exams when we come back from break. In January.</p>
<p>Were just wrapping up momentum and impulse right now.</p>
<p>We're testing over all of rotational motion (kinematics, torque, mechanical advantage, moment of inertia) tomorrow, and then starting thermodynamics after break, then fluids immediately following that. Hmm, I should go study for tomorrow's test, actually...</p>
<p>We've done: measurement, motion in one dimension, kinematics, dynamics, circular motion, gravitation, work and energy, momentum/impulse. We're on rotational motion / equilibrium right now.</p>
<p>Then fluids after xmas break.</p>
<p>I'm self-studying the course. In the summer, I did everything that has to do with mechanics. Since then, I've read two chapters of electromagnetism. But it looks like I'm not that far behind, so that's good. I guess I'll catch up during the break.</p>
<p>we just finished what snp2k was doing today!!</p>
<p>We are almost done with mechanics. Just finished rotational motion. We are doing equilibrium right now. Oh man, I love physics haha.:)</p>
<p>we've done kinematics, dynamics (forces, impulses, momentum), energy, centripetal motion and kepler's laws, universal gravitation, rotational dynamics (torques, moment of inertia, etc.), fluids, energy, thermodynamics, and we're doing oscillations and pendulum motion at the moment... wow, we're going faster than i thought. you see, our teacher is a football coach and have the class is jocks. the other half is composed of the smartest in our school so he is really confused about the pace or difficulty. :P</p>
<p>You're probably not going that much faster...because a lot of those things you listed were included in the chapters I had (i just didn't mention them because i figured most books would be identical). We use the 4th edition of the Giancoli book.</p>
<p>I'm not saying that you aren't going faster than everyone else, I'm just saying things like "Pendulum motion" -- i did that a few chapters ago. but we haven't done fluids yet. I guess it all balances out</p>
<p>Hmm... we are taking our mechanics final tomorrow for our class so we will be starting E&M after we back to school from winter break.</p>
<p>thanks everyone- I wasn't sure if I was going at the right pace but it seems that i'm right on track. We're up to heat and just finished SHM and torque.</p>

<p>rotational mechanics. angular velocity, torque, that sh1t. my class wastes so much time. but our teacher uses powerpoint presentations for most of the lessons, so its mad cool. The forumlas fly around the screen and keep me awake in the dark classroom.</p>
