About this course
Are you a high school student striving to excel in AP Physics and qualify for the U.S. National Physics Olympiad (USAPhO)? This course is your guide to preparing for and passing the F=ma exam, the first step into competition physics. The F=ma exam is known for its challenging mechanics problems that test not just your understanding of physics but also strategic problem solving. Through a carefully structured curriculum, you’ll gain an understanding of the core mechanics topics that appear on the exam—kinematics, …
Before you start
- Some understanding of algebra-based physics (high school or AP level is great)
- Familiarity with algebra (If you know how to solve systems of equations, you're ready)
- Willingness to learn basic trigonometry—a key skill for certain physics problems (will be covered if unfamiliar)
- No calculus is required—this course is designed around the math level of precalculus
Who it’s for
- High school students preparing for the F=ma exam, the first round of the US Physics Olympiad (USAPhO)
- Students interested in competitions involving physics
- Students preparing for high school or AP physics classes (This course will help!)
- Homeschool learners or self-motivated students wanting to build confidence in physics problem solving at a national competition levelers, tutors, or coaches seeking structured resources to help students prepare for physics contests
