AP® Physics 1 Beta
Tools
Physics trainers: free-body diagrams, motion graphs, energy bar charts, collisions, torque, oscillators, fluids and lab design, each followed by questions.
Trainers
Work through a model or a representation, then answer questions about it.
- Motion graphsDrive a cart and watch x, v and a draw themselves; read slope and area.Representing MotionOpen
- Lab designWhat to measure with what, what to plot for a straight line, and what the slope means.Representing MotionOpen
- Projectile labLaunch at any angle and speed; components, range and time of flight.Vectors and Motion in Two DimensionsOpen
- Free-body diagramsDrag and size the forces on real scenes; each force graded, every miss named.Forces and Free-Body DiagramsOpen
- Energy bar chartsSkater track, spring launcher and rough ramp, with live energy bars.Conservation of EnergyOpen
- Collision labElastic to sticky collisions with momentum and energy bars, and impulse.Elastic and Inelastic CollisionsOpen
- Torque balanceBalance a meter stick with masses; lever arms, torques and rotational inertia.Rotational EquilibriumOpen
- Rotation labRolling races, a spinning skater and orbit energy.RollingOpen
- Oscillator labSpring and pendulum: graphs, energy, and what sets the period.Frequency and Period of SHMOpen
- Fluids tankBuoyancy, pressure with depth and flow through a pipe.Fluids and Newton's LawsOpen
