AP Physics 1/2

Forum for discussing topics related to AP-1 and AP-2 (Algebra-based) physics

  1. Hello! I'm using the "AP Physics Essentials: 1" book to study for my Work, Power, and Energy exam (chapter 5.) I need clarification on question 5.10; how do we decide on the equation to use? I'm so lost on how to make that determination. Thanks!

  15. Having finished up the rough draft of AP Physics 1 Essentials, I thought perhaps the table of contents with the covered topics might provide a better starting point than the preliminary outline I showed from last spring. Note that any topics not specifically covered by AP-1 I highlighted by placing an asterisk by them (but I included them in the book feeling they were important to maintaining continuity assuming your students may want to AP-2 the following year). Chapter 1: Introduction What Is Physics? Matter, Systems, and Mass Energy Mass – Energy Equivalence Scope of AP Physics 1 Chapter 2: Math Review Significant Figures Scientific Notation Metric Sys…

  17. File Name: Lab: Rolling Without Slipping (Moment of Inertia by Inquiry) File Submitter: FizziksGuy File Submitted: 13 Jun 2013 File Category: Rotational Motion Students roll various objects down an inclined plane and use their knowledge of rotational motion to determine the moment of inertia of the objects. Two equally valid paths to the answer make this a great inquiry lab, and you can differentiate easily by having advanced students search for BOTH paths to the answer, verifying both paths give you equivalent solutions.
