Physics Unit 3 - Kinematics in Two Dimensions

High School, College, and AP Physics 1

Physics in two dimensions is another core unit for mastering physics. This course introduces two dimensional physics through vectors and kinematics in 2D.

We begin with an in-depth analysis for vectors. Love them or hate them, understanding vectors and the algebra included is an incredibly important early tool for mastering physics.

We then shift to analyzing kinematics in two dimensions. Students often find this topic to be very fun and interesting as one of our main focuses are projectiles! We will explore some basic foundation principles with two dimensional physics and progress through more challenging setups.

Corey Mousseau is a highly qualified classroom science teacher in New York State. He has been teaching physics and related courses in NY State for over 15 years.

Physics is often overwhelming for many students. Over the years Corey has mastered the art of exciting students into falling in love with this wonderful field of science. Through a blend of conceptual understanding, demonstrations, and quantitative analysis Corey has found the correct formula for engaging individuals into highly successful physics students.

Corey holds a degree in secondary education in physics as well as a master's degree in integrating technology in the classroom. He a high school Cross Country Coach, a Science Olympiad Coach, and a New York State Master Teacher. Corey has a lovely wife, two young boys, and teachers at Plattsburgh High School in upstate NY.

While at Plattsburgh High School (PHS) Corey has had the opportunity to teach many different courses which have all had a focus on excellence, rigor, and mastery.

Courses Corey currently teaches during the traditional school day:

  • AP Physics 1
  • AP Physics 2
  • NY State Regents Physics
  • AP Physics C: Mechanics
  • Robotics 1
  • Robotics 2
  • Science Olympiad

Corey has been a dedicated science teacher since he was 22 years old and has influenced countless students along the way. His students show him respect, admiration, and commitment and he provides them with the same. Ask any student at PHS - Mr. Mousseau cares and is more than willing to help you become the strongest physics student you can.
