AP Physics 2

AP Physics 1. Other AP Teachers' Resources Shared on College Board. Wardsci. Physical Science. Unit 1 Objectives Core Concept: Uniform Motion Uniform motion means that an object travels equal distances in equal time intervals.

Physical Science

Learning Goals: By the end of this unit, the students should know and be able to: Design and conduct investigations of objects in uniform motion. (DOK3) Investigate scientifically oriented questions about objects in motion. Decide what evidence/observations are needed and how to collect them. Collect and organize the evidence/observations Develop conclusions based on evidence/observations Design and conduct an experiment to collect data of an object in constant motion. UNIT 2 Objectives Core Concept: Accelerated Motion Uniform accelerated motion means that an object’s velocity changes by the same amount in equal time intervals. Design and conduct investigations of objects in uniformly accelerated motion. Unit 3 Objectives Core Concept: Forces Forces occur when objects interact: they have an agent, a receiver, an effect and a direction.

Unit 4 Objectives. Jacobs Physics. AP Physics. AP Physics 1 and AP Physics 2. Guided by National Research Council and National Science Foundation recommendations, the AP Program spent several years collaborating with master AP teachers and faculty members from universities and colleges to evaluate and revise the AP Physics B course.

AP Physics 1 and AP Physics 2

This collaboration led to a decision to replace AP Physics B with two new courses, AP Physics 1: Algebra-Based and AP Physics 2: Algebra-Based. Higher education officials have endorsed the new courses enthusiastically. The courses will benefit all members of the AP community. AP will begin offering the courses in the 2014-15 academic year, and it will discontinue the AP Physics B program following the 2013-14 academic year. Overview of Revisions The AP Course Audit AP teachers will need to revise their course syllabus, based on the current course requirements, and have it authorized through the AP Course Audit. The AP Course Audit will begin accepting syllabi for review in March 2014. Professional Development. AP Physics B, Mr. B's Physics Planet APB Notes. Drive Viewer.

waves on musical instruments

So far, we've just done basic v=λf stuff. We're going to study standing waves, and harmonics in pipes and strings, soon. For lab tomorrow, I've asked anyone who plays a musical instrument to bring it in. Groups that don't bring in a guitar or trumpet or something will get to use one of the recorders that I borrowed from the music department. (Does every third grader in America still learn to play recorder badly? Most instruments that I'll see tomorrow can be simplistically modeled as open pipes or fixed strings. So I'll have each group play a chromatic scale for one octave -- that's 12 notes.

For each note, they'll estimate the wavelength by measuring the length of the pipe or string. But, crude or not, I usually see a nice, clear hyperbolic graph of frequency vs. wavelength. Anyway, the slope of the straight graph SHOULD be equal to the speed of waves on the string or in the pipe. Below is the lab handout I'll give. Learn AP Physics - AP Physics B.

Click on the link in the email to see the solution. This non-calculus, college-level physics curriculum includes Newtonian mechanics, thermodynamics, waves, sound, optics, electricity, magnetism, atomic physics, nuclear physics, and relativity. While there are distinct advantages to learning--either in a classroom or online--with a real physics teacher, there are a number of online references that can help supplement your instruction.
