Check the contents for the Physics leveling course taught at the Sant Joan d’Alacant Campus in the 2025/2026 academic year.

Units:

1. Units, unit conversion, metric system, prefixes.
2. Vectors. Properties of vectors.
3. Uniform rectilinear motion. Problem solving.
4. Uniformly accelerated and decelerated rectilinear motion. Problem solving.
5. Newton’s Laws: Types of forces. Problem solving with multiple objects. Inclined plane. Components of a force, and magnitude.
6. Work and kinetic energy. Law of conservation of energy. Problem solving.
7. Unit conversions in thermodynamics, and problem solving.
8. Simple harmonic motion. Problem solving.
9. Simple wave motion. Problem solving.
10. Problem solving in which students:
       * calculate perimeters, areas, and volumes;
       * perform operations with fractions, powers, and logarithms;
       * solve equations (first and second degree, systems of equations, exponential equations, logarithmic equations);
       * use trigonometric functions;
       * Use a calculator (radians, degrees, exponentials…).
