Review for the 1st Sem Final

Here is a link to the AP Physics C Course Description.  On pages 16-25 they list the learning objectives in careful detail - a giant list of what we should learn in this class, and the only real list of what concepts and problems might be on the test.  We have covered sections A- D at this point.

Here is a link to a site with numerous practice tests, each 2-20 MC questions about topics of a particular type.  After you do the questions they will show you solutions.  It will ask you many times to sign up for their tutoring services, but it never seems to require you to do it.

As always the link to the practice AP FR questions remains a good source for practice with answers, and there is the new set of homework questions.


You can also use UT quest to make a customized review set of questions, focusing on all of the homework questions that you missed the first time around.  Follow these steps  (copied from their help menu)

Momentum going into the New Year

Let's pause for a Momentum:   
New Unit integrates with the Old

We are starting our unit on Momentum because it adds another tool to our toolbox for solving motion problems.  We are not leaving behind Conservation of Energy but will integrate them into our problem solving regimen. 

Look for a New Quest Assignment on Momentum!

XC Lab or replacement lab option.
•From our Arrow/Block Ballistics Demonstration: Use video analysi on Logger Pro to determine the Initial Velocity of the Arrow before it hit the block.
•Conservation of Energy and Conservation of Momentum must be used together.
