Or just college level Physics 2?

How was it?

apparently C&G isn't made of Physicists.

@BGSB

does it sound similar to this "AP Physics 2 is an algebra-based, introductory college-level physics course that explores topics such as fluid statics and dynamics; thermodynamics with kinetic theory; PV diagrams and probability; electrostatics; electrical circuits with capacitors; magnetic fields; electromagnetism; physical and geometric optics; and quantum, atomic, and nuclear physics."

were you expecting c&g to be taken college level classes because majority of these people are like in 8th grade

@Justin50003

you could probably take AP physics 1 with an 8th grade education

it's mostly Algebra and basic Trig.

3 Subject Content
3.1 Unit 1 Particles, Quantum Phenomena and Electricity
This module involves two contrasting topics in physics: particle physics and
electricity. Through the study of these topics, students should gain an awareness
of the on-going development of new ideas in physics and of the application of indepth
knowledge of well-established topics such as electricity. Particle physics
introduces students to the fundamental properties and nature of matter, radiation
and quantum phenomena. In contrast, the study of electricity in this module builds
on and develops previous GCSE studies and provides opportunities for practical
work and looks into important applications.
3.1.1 Particles and Radiation
• Constituents of the atom
Proton, neutron, electron.
Their charge and mass in SI units and relative units. Specific charge of nuclei and
of ions. Atomic mass unit is not required.
Proton number Z, nucleon number A, nuclide notation, isotopes
• Stable and unstable nuclei
The strong nuclear force; its role in keeping the nucleus stable;
short-range attraction to about 3 fm, very-short range repulsion below about 0.5 fm;
Equations for alpha decay and β-
decay including the neutrino.
• Particles, antiparticles and photons
Candidates should know that for every type of particle, there is a corresponding
antiparticle. They should know that the positron, the antiproton, the antineutron
and the antineutrino are the antiparticles of the electron, the proton, the neutron
and the neutrino respectively.
Comparison of particle and antiparticle masses, charge and rest energy in MeV.
Photon model of electromagnetic radiation, the Planck constant,
E = hf = λ

Knowledge of annihilation and pair production processes and the respective
energies involved. The use of E = mc2 is not required in calculations.
• Particle interactions
Concept of exchange particles to explain forces between elementary particles
The electromagnetic force; virtual photons as the exchange particle.
The weak interaction limited β-
, β+
decay, electron capture and electron-proton
collisions; W+

the exchange particles.
Simple Feynman diagrams to represent the above reactions or interactions in
terms of particles going in and out and exchange partic

Combinations of quarks and antiquarks required for baryons (proton and neutron
only), antibaryons (antiproton and antineutron only) and mesons (pion and kaon)
only.
Change of quark character in β-
and β+
decay.
Application of the conservation laws for charge, baryon number, lepton number and
strangeness to particle interactions. The necessary data will be provided in
questions for particles outside those specified.

experiment is not required.

energy levels in atoms.

particles and the photoelectric effect suggests the particle nature of
electromagnetic waves; details of particular methods of particle diffraction are not
expected.

At the time, physics 1 was challenging first semester because I was not used to the whole concepts that we were taught. Second semester physics 1 was easier since I just got out of a relationship and had more time to study. Now that I already took physics 1, physics 2 is more of a review + bonus material. It is a bit of a challenge if you did not understand it the first time, but it's really fun.

and it all depends on the teacher

if you have a great, fun teacher, you cant go wrong.
