adelin said:In my next semester I will take Calculus and Calculus Base Physics, which only covers Statics and dynamics of particles and rigid bodies; force and motion; energy and momentum; rotational motion, elasticity and simple harmonic motion.
Would I do well in the physics class without physics in high school?
The prerequisites for taking college physics typically include high school level courses in algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Some colleges may also require a basic understanding of calculus.
Not having any prior knowledge of physics may make the beginning of the course challenging, but many college physics courses are designed for students who have never taken physics before. It is important to have a strong foundation in math and a willingness to learn and work hard.
Topics covered in a college physics course may include mechanics, electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics, waves and optics, and modern physics. Different colleges may have slightly different curriculums, so it is best to check with the specific institution for a detailed course outline.
You can prepare for college physics by reviewing basic math skills, particularly algebra and trigonometry. You can also find online resources or textbooks to familiarize yourself with some of the concepts and equations that will be covered in the course.
Many colleges offer tutoring services or study groups for students taking physics courses. You can also ask your professor for extra help or attend office hours. There are also numerous online resources and practice problems available to help you better understand the material.
