This course introduces students to the basic concepts of physics including measurement, kinematics, dynamics, momentum and energy, and an introduction to special relativity. Motion is introduced, and then mathematical models are developed to quantify observations and predictions. Both Physics 0861 and Physics 0871 are required for ABE Advanced Physics. Physics 0861 and Physics 0871 can be taken at the same time or in any order., a minimum score of 72% on the Intermediate Algebra Math Assessment, Math 0861, or equivalent; English 10 or equivalent; if the Math prerequisite is not met, MATH 0861 must be taken at the same time as PHYS 0861.

This course introduces students to the basic concepts of physics, including vibrations, waves, sound, light, heat, and electricity. Students conduct experiments, and Mathematical models are developed allowing the student to quantify observations and predictions.

This course begins with the study of kinematics in one and two dimensions. The equations of motion are utilized, stressing the vector nature of the physical quantities. Vector addition and manipulation are covered using trigonometric component methods. The same vector techniques are then applied to an analysis of dynamics in one and two dimensions, two-dimensional equilibrium, momentum in two dimensions and uniform circular motion. The final topics covered are energy conservation, waves and optics. Both Physics 0983 and Physics 0993 are required for completion of ABE Provincial level Physics. Physics 0983 and Physics 0993 can be taken at the same time or in any order.

This course begins with the study of electrostatics. Coulomb's Law is applied to two-dimensional situations, which involve multiple charges. The vector addition of the forces involved uses the trigonometric component method. Electric field, electric potential and capacitance are examined. Electric current is studied in detail, in both AC and DC forms. The behavior of circuit elements such as capacitors, resistors and inductors is studied leading to an understanding of electrical resonance in AC circuits. Electromagnetism and electromagnetic induction are introduced and used to explain the operation of motors and generators. Both Physics 0983 and Physics 0993 are required for completion of ABE Provincial level Physics Physics 0983 and Physics 0993 can be taken at the same time or in any order.
