AP Physics Review Schedule
Tuesday’s Zero Period and
Wednesday’s 3:00-4:00
Check this website frequently as I
will post “things you need to bring with you to the review” just before each
review date.
What will we do at these sessions: I will go over some pre-selected problems which I feel are indicative of what will be asked (they will be old homework problems). I will also try to provide you with “Young’s Fancy Schmanzy Formula Sheets” for many of these topics. The Formula sheets will be provided at this website. I highly recommend that you start putting them into your calculator.
1. March 4/5: Vectors,
Free-Body Diagrams, Tension, Atwood’s Machine
Here are the problems we
will go over: p.
93 #36 and #38; p. 118 Example
4.8; p. 120 Example 4.9; p. 133 #58; p. 134 #64; p. 136 #88 and #90; FRQ 1998 #1.
All of these problems (except the “example problems” from
pages 118 and 120) are covered in this:
Please download it and look
at it BEFORE you come to the review! I’m just going to zip through these – I’ve
only got an hour! If you have
familiarity with the problems, then you won’t ask _______ questions! Remember, I like donuts!
2. March 11/12: Projectile
motion, quadratic equations. P. 60 #51; P. 96 #83
Pre-Review Session Packet – Projectile Motion

7. April 22 and 23:
Thermodynamics (this will be brand new as we won’t have time to discuss
it in class! Make sure you make this
one!)
