Homework Statement


Hi, I was wondering what does a standard introductory, algebra-based Physics course cover first, rotational motion/torque or energy and conservation? This is the time period right after Newton's Laws. What usually comes next? Circular/Rotational Material or Energy? Thanks!

Thanks

most likely Energy; all though this would purely be up to your professor.

OK thanks. Yeah, my book presents Rotational motion first. Do the Professors ever cover the topics out of order? Thanks
 
Lots of professors cover topics according to the lecture notes they have already revised or whatever they think is best. It's really up to them- so yes, s/he may (or may not) go in a different order then the textbook
