Extreme Physics.
Extreme Sports Tycoon is designed to be used in support of learning first year AP - level Physics. The game is intended to help players develop intuitive understandings of Physics concepts, and provide an inroads for helping them accessing and understandings the formulas behind introductory Physics concepts. The following areas of AP Physics are included in Extreme Sports Tycoon.

A. Kinematics (including vectors, vector algebra, components of vectors, coordinate systems, displacement, velocity, and acceleration)

1. Motion in one dimension

2. Motion in two dimensions including projectile motion

B. Newton's laws of motion (including friction and centripetal force)

1. Dynamics of a single particle (second law)

C. Circular motion and rotation

1. Uniform circular motion

D. Oscillations and gravitation Mass on a spring

These are core areas of most any AP-level Physics course.
