Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About

AP Physics 2: Algebra-Based

blank
The College Board strongly recommends completing AP Physics 1 first, as many concepts of Mechanics and Energy from Physics 1 are crucial foundations for topics in Physics 2.
This means that problems will be solved using algebraic tools instead of Calculus, making the course accessible to more students. However, some Physics concepts will not be explored to the same depth as in the calculus-based AP Physics C courses.
Concepts related to Magnetism and Electromagnetic Induction, Thermodynamics, and topics in Modern Physics (Quantum, Atomic, Nuclear Physics) often require a high degree of abstract thinking.
Similar to AP Physics 1, students need to understand scientific practice principles, know how to design experiments, and analyze data. The AP exam will test this understanding through theoretical questions and situational analysis.
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 2 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.
