Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About

AP Physics 1: Algebra-Based

blank
The course does not require Calculus but focuses intensively on understanding conceptual essence and qualitative reasoning. The difficulty lies in applying principles to diverse situations, not just mere calculation.
AP Physics 1 primarily focuses on Newtonian Mechanics, energy, momentum, mechanical waves, and simple DC circuits. AP Physics 2 (also algebra-based) covers Electromagnetism, Thermodynamics, Optics, and Modern Physics. AP Physics C (calculus-based) delves into Mechanics and Electromagnetism at a more advanced level.
The ability to explain physical phenomena verbally (qualitative reasoning), analyze and design experiments, and interpret graphs and data are highly valued skills in the AP Physics 1 exam.
The exam will test your understanding of scientific practices, including analyzing experimental designs, interpreting provided data, and evaluating potential sources of error.
Intertu helps systematize the broad knowledge of AP Physics 2, focuses on explaining abstract concepts visually, and hones skills in applying algebra to solve Physics problems and analyze experiments.
Yes, Intertu Education offers trial classes. Tuition fees for AP Physics 1 depend on the selected package of learning hours and the chosen level of support services. Please contact Intertu's counseling team directly for a detailed fee schedule.
