AP Physics 1A Per. 2 (Palos Verdes High School)

AP Physics 1A Per. 2 (Palos Verdes High School) //pvhs.pvpusd.net/apps/classes/923697/assignments/ Class Name: AP Physics 1A Per. 2 Instructor(s): James Warren en-us SchoolSitePro <![CDATA[Due: 01/15/2020]]> //pvhs.pvpusd.net/homeworkItem5324021 //pvhs.pvpusd.net/apps/classes/923697/assignments/ Key to the Quiz that was taken on Friday, January 10.

This was a quiz that was designed as Gift A's. And people got that. And others didn't. Those who didn't were those who didn't know what the questions asked, and how many times am I going to illustrate that the easiest thing in the world is impossible for people who don't know what the words mean.

UPDATED at 4:10 PM on Tuesday Jan. 7, Higher Level Chapter 5 Practice Problem:

This will be called "Potential Energy That's Unfamiliar 2." It's the one I made up where the moon gets a new speed after moving from a far Point 1 from Earth to a close Point 2.

This attachment was one page that only showed the answer. Now it has a Page 2 that points out what work-related fact the solver was supposed to look up from Chapter 7.

The other file "U Versus Position Graph Elliptical Orbit..." will only be readable by some. One has to be able to perform integrals to make use of it. It's a concise two-page example that illustrates where the special gravitational U form comes from. The special gravitational U form is stated and used in the "Potential Energy That's Unfamiliar 2" document, and it's stated without proof. Those of you who do not know how to do integrals are instructed to know the special gravitational U form anyway, even if you won't be able to follow its proof yet.

This was already handed out in class. I call the computer file name "Potential Energy That's Unfamiliar" as a way of highlighting the main reason I highlight this one.

The file attached here has the exact same questions as the hard copy, but the wording was changed a little bit. However you word it though, know that people who do not know calculus have to skip Question 1. Question 1 is an optional question on this practice test. People who can do integrals could get Question 1 right on their own. Either way, Questions 2 through 6 are fair questions that do not depend on getting Question 1 correct.

Questions 2 through 6 carry the main idea.

The attached file restates the original questions, and then contains keys on the later pages.

The attached document was written to show how it was supposed to be done on that day.

More powerful, this link:

https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/courses/ap-physics-1/exam/past-exam-questions?course=ap-physics-1-algebra-based

Go to that link, pick any given year and DO the free response test as if it were a real test. In writing, with a time limit, as you would write it if it were really graded. When finished, download "Scoring Guidelines" and grade yourself.

More powerful, do the relevant problems off of the attached old AP Physics B multiple choice exams.

People who really want to get ready for the final are people who train with the real college board stuff to make sure the challenge level of their training exceeds any test I could write.

Start with my stuff; make quick work of that; elevate to the College Board-written practice when there is still a week before the final.

If you're in Period 1, working on "Easy, but not as easy first application of PE" before Tuesday 12/17 would be working ahead.

I'll be checking and checking for comprehension, and it will be 10 points.

Also, in the documents, I tried to always use the symbol PE for potential energy. But in a couple places, it got called U by accident. So if you ever see the document mention a value called U at a certain location, just know that U and PE mean the same thing.

The worksheet files were handed out in class AND are attached here.

The school changed the last week before break. The Boat Race is now Tuesday, December 17. That is one day sooner than previously expected.

Due by the end of the week:

Your defended calculation of the coefficient of friction for the taped part of the Air Track Experiment.

Safest bet for making sure it's defended and in lab report format is to just fill in the template of the attached Word Document.

And, as has been gone over thoroughly in class, the attached spreadsheet is helpful as well. The spreadsheet has Period 2 in the file name, but it covers both Periods 1 and 2.

People working ahead can look at the last three columns in the spreadsheet and figure out what those three columns tell a person about Chapter 5.
