The following notes cover the entire Alberta
Physics 30 curriculum (2007
version, updated 2014). I don’t intend that my students use these
notes as an excuse to skip class… in fact I’ve put them here for the exact
opposite reason. If you already have these notes when you come to class,
you’ll find it easier to follow my explanations as I go through them. You
are not required to access these notes… you are not missing anything if
you completely ignore this web site.
All of the chapters listed here are based on
the order of the Pearson Physics textbook. At the bottom of each page you
will find a note telling you what section from the text book the notes
correspond to.
At the end of the list of the regular Physics
30 notes, you will find a section labeled AP Physics 2.
These notes cover Thermodynamics and Electric
Circuits, and are intended for a student studying for
the AP Physics 2 exam (2025); they are not required for
regular Alberta Physics 20 students. AP Physics 2 students must keep in
mind that there is significant overlap between the Alberta curriculum and
AP Physics 2, but it is not exact and I am making no claim that these
notes are a perfect reflection of the AP Physics 2 curriculum, nor have I
completed a course audit. If you are an AP Physics 2 student, you should
find it useful to study all the regular content shown here except for
Chapter 9: Momentum (skip it, you did it in AP
Physics 1), as well as the AP content. Read this document
for a suggestion of the order of study for AP Physics 2.
