Check with your physics teacher. The problem is that your calculus curriculum may not be teaching you what you need to know AT THAT TIME in physics. High school physics, if I remember, does not involve much in the way of calculus; however if you take AP PHYSICS, knowledge of calculus beforehand is useful.

That depends what's in your honors program. However, calculus is essential for a solid understanding of both Newtonian mechanics and E&M, and my AP Physics course was based on calculus and aligned with it.

No you do not. An honors physics really only requires you to have knowledge through Alg. 2. Just make sure that you have a solid understanding of how to do it before you take it.

Many formulas in Physics are determined using calculus BUT you don't need calculus to use the formulas!
All you need is to plug in values an you will have answers.

what i would accualy do is take principle of technology 1 and 2 (or all in one class if u can) then take it...ap/honors physics should be a breeze after that

go talk to the honors physics teacher.

I would imagine it would be pretty difficult, unless you've got the time to do it yourself "one the side"
