📚 The 7 Big Ideas of AP Physics 1
🔄 Big Idea 1: Systems
Objects and systems have properties like mass, charge, internal structure; systems may have internal structure.
⚡ Big Idea 2: Fields
Fields in space can explain interactions; gravitational fields explain weight and orbital motion.
🎯 Big Idea 3: Force Interactions
Forces describe interactions between objects; Newton's laws predict motion changes.
💫 Big Idea 4: Change
Interactions cause changes; conservation of energy and momentum describe system evolution.
📊 Big Idea 5: Conservation
Conservation laws constrain possible outcomes; energy, momentum, charge are conserved.
🌊 Big Idea 6: Waves
Waves transfer energy without transferring matter; wave models explain sound, light, interference.
🔬 Big Idea 7: Probability
Probability describes quantum and statistical systems; used in modern physics applications.
