Advanced Placement (AP) Physics 2, along with AP Physics 1, is a year-long AP course designed by the College Board to replace AP Physics B in the 2014 - 2015 school year. The courses will teach the same general curriculum as AP Physics B, but instead splitting the course into two and cover more information, specifically rotational mechanics. The courses were formed through collaboration between current Advanced Placement teachers and The College Board, with the guidance of the National Research Council and the National Science Foundation. Similar to AP Physics C the course is said to cover the material of a first semester university undergraduate physics course offered at a typical American university, but with an algebra based curriculum as opposed to AP Physics C calculus based curriculu
