AP Physics 1 Midterm Information Sheet AP Physics 1: Mechanics Midterm Information Sheet Date: Period 4A Wednesday, Jan. 22nd 10 am Period 4B Thursday, Jan. 23 7:50 am One the day of the exam you may use: Pencil, Calculator (no cell phones), official equation sheet (I will provide in class), 3 x 5 "cheat sheet" index card that you make Format: Multiple Choice Topics: Everything covered from the beginning of the year through Forces. [Kinematics - the study of motion:] - Speed, velocity, distance, displacement, acceleration, vector, magnitude relative motion - definitions, concepts, and problem solving with equations. - Motion graphs - position vs time, velocity vs time, acceleration vs time; what the slope represents, what the area under the curve represents; drawing them, interpreting them, getting values from them - Free Fall - when is an object in freefall, what is true ( and no true) about the motion of an object in freefall; solving free fall problems (objects dropped or tossed into the air); graphs - Projectile Motion - facts about the motion of projectiles; "breaking down" the motion of a projectile and "keeping separated" the x and y information; target problems; graphs [Dynamics - forces:] - Weight (the force of gravity); weight of an object at different locations in the universe; weightlessness (when does it occur); elevator/scale problems, placing it in a FBD - Newton's Laws (reciting them, explaining them, and using them to answer questions/explain) - Free-body diagrams (drawing them, interpreting them, and using them to create Fnet equations) - Newton's 2nd Law - F=ma; Fnet equations; solving problems (Atwood, pulley-block, ramps, "sliding" problems, pushing across the ground...) - Tension (in Atwood machines, with pulleys, and using ropes to accelerate objects up and lower them down) - Normal force - definition; how to find it; placing it in a FBD - Friction - concepts; equation; problem solving with it; placing it in a FDB How to Study: Complete the Review Packet Look over and redo problems on past quizzes and worksheets Make your 3x 5 index card Use optional external resources (videos and websites) Review your notes
