AP Physics 1 Summer Assignment Dr AP Physics 1 Summer Assignment Dr. Haug Welcome to AP Physics 1. Please join the Google Classroom with Code p6vmvsl. This ​ ​ summer assignment is posted in the classroom. You can hyperlink to sites from the Doc if it is easier than typing in the URL for the links. 1. Complete the vocabulary on the next page. You are responsible for creating a list of definitions. While we don’t memorize a lot in this class you need to be familiar with the terms used in this class. They should become a part of your everyday language. You will have a vocabulary test on the first Friday of the school year. 2. We will focus many of our lab experiences and problem solving sessions on the force of gravity and the acceleration due to gravity. When you sign up for AP Physics 1, it is assumed that you already have learned about gravity and have more than a basic understanding of gravity. In order to catch up on what you have not necessarily learned before, please do the following: a. Watch the following videos: i. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMVhy_NQm_Y&t=38s This is a ​ Tedx talk given by an astronaut. ii. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E43-CfukEgs This video compares ​ the falling of a bowling ball and a feather. iii. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gf6YpdvtE0&t=45s This video from ​ Crash Course explains the Law of Universal Gravitation. iv. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFdbY_V7vIo This video introduces ​ the difference between weight and mass. v. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z0X0yE8Ioc Veritasium explains ​ the difference between weight and mass. vi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57gKnA94Doc Another explanation ​ of mass vs. weight by Professor Dave. The concept of normal force is also explained. b. Complete the worksheet attached. Answer all questions using complete sentences. If equations or variables are needed be sure to use them correctly. AP Physics 1 Summer Assignment As you transition into AP Physics 1, there are terms you must be very familiar with. These terms should be used regularly and correctly to describe motion. Use the internet to define and describe the following terms. I highly suggest that you DO NOT just use the first ​ definition you find. Sometimes these terms can have more than one meaning. Remember you ​ are looking for a physics definition. Include units and equations when necessary. You should define these terms using a Google Doc. You may want to make a table so that you can have a term, a definition, and a unit or equation as needed. ● Mechanics ● Force ● Work ● Kinematics ● Newton’s 1st Law of ● Kinetic energy ● Dynamics Motion ● Potential energy ● Inertia ● Gravitational potential ● Translational motion ● Newton’s 2nd Law of energy ● Coordinate axes Motion ● Elastic potential ● Displacement ● Newton’s 3rd Law of energy ● Vector Motion ● Conservative force ● scalar ● Weight ● Nonconservative force ● Average speed ● Normal force ● Power ● ● ● Velocity Contact force Efficiency ● Field force ● Momentum ● Instantaneous velocity ● Friction ● Impulse ● Average acceleration ● Net force ● Simple harmonic ● Instantaneous ● Centripetal motion acceleration acceleration ● Constant acceleration ● Frequency ● Acceleration due to ● Period ● Inverse square law gravity ● Work ● Slope ● Kinetic energy ● Resultant vector ● Potential energy ● Tip to tail method of ● Gravitational potential vector addition energy ● components ● Elastic potential energy ● Conservative force ● Nonconservative force AP Physics 1 Summer Assignment After watching the videos linked on the first page and reviewing information from Lesson 5 of the physics classroom, https://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/1DKin/Lesson-5/Introduction, ​ ​ answer the following questions. Answer using complete sentences. 1. Define gravity. 2. What variables determine the magnitude of gravity acting between two objects? Be specific. 3. What is the value for the Universal Gravitation constant (G)? Be sure to include proper ​ ​ units. 4. What is the value for acceleration due to gravity on Earth (g)? Be sure to include proper ​ ​ units. 5. If the distance between two objects is tripled, how does the magnitude of the gravitational force change? Explain your reasoning. 6. Explain the conditions necessary for a feather and a bowling ball to reach the ground at the same time when dropped from the same height. 7. Compare and contrast weight and mass. 8. A physics student has a mass of 60kg. What is the weight of that student? Be sure to show all work and use correct units. 9. How do the weight and mass of this physics student on Earth compare to the weight of the student on the moon? Explain your reasoning. 10. When an object falls freely under the influence of gravity there is a net force mg exerted ​ ​ on it by the Earth. Yet by Newton’s 3rd Law the object exerts an equal and opposite force on the Earth. Does the Earth move? Explain. 11. As you saw in one of the videos, when astronauts are in space they seem to “float” through space. Are the astronauts weightless in space? Explain your answer. .

  • AP Potential Expectancy Tables Based on PSAT/NMSQT And
    AP Potential Expectancy Tables based on PSAT/NMSQT and SAT Scores on the 2015-16 Redesigned Scales Using Final Concordance Tables Maureen Ewing and Jeff Wyatt January 2017 COLLEGE BOARD RESEARCH RESEARCH Introduction Historically, AP Potential™ has used PSAT/NMSQT® scores to identify students who are likely to earn a 3 or higher on a specific AP Exam based on research showing moderate to strong relationships between PSAT/NMSQT scores and AP Exam scores (Camara & Millsap, 1998; Ewing, Camara, & Millsap, 2006; Zhang, Patel, & Ewing, 2014a). For most subjects, AP Potential expectancy tables have been derived by combining tenth and eleventh grade PSAT/NMSQT data with scores from AP Exams taken as either eleventh or twelfth graders during the following academic year. For AP European History and AP World History, ninth grade PSAT/NMSQT scores and tenth grade AP Exam scores were also recently included in the expectancy table calculations (Zhang, Patel, & Ewing, 2014b). Starting with the launch of the redesigned SAT® Suite of Assessments (i.e., PSAT 8/9, PSAT 10, PSAT/NMSQT, and SAT) in the 2015-16 academic year, AP Potential will also be reported based on scores from additional PSAT tests (depending on the student’s grade level) as well as be extended to reporting based on SAT scores. The purpose of this report is (1) to describe how we created blended AP Potential tables that include PSAT/NMSQT and SAT data and (2) to present these new tables on the 2015-16 redesigned scale for the SAT Suite of Assessments. Methodology and Results To create blended AP Potential tables that include PSAT/NMSQT and SAT scores, analyses were conducted using data from the following students/years1: • Students who took the PSAT/NMSQT in fall of October 2007 and/or October 2008 as sophomores or juniors and then completed one or more AP Exams during the following academic year in May 2009 or May 2010, respectively2.

This relationship between angle and arc length is one of the primary motivations for using radians. s 2π¡r θfull circle = = = 2π rad (3) r ¡r We can use this fact to write conversion factors among revolutions, radians, and degrees. 1 rev = 360◦ = 2π rad (4) 1 360◦ 1 rad = 1 ¨rad¨× = 57:3◦ (5) 2π ¨rad¨ angular displacement ∆θ ! = = (6) time interval ∆t Angular velocity of a particle in uniform circular motion. rad • ! = omega = angular velocity = s θf − θi = ∆θ = !∆t (7) Angular displacement for uniform circular motion. For linear motion, we use the term speed v when we are not concerned with the direction of motion, velocity vx, when we are. For circular motion, we define the angular speed to be the absolute value of the angular velocity, so that it's a positive quantity irrespective of the particle's direction of rotation. Although potentially confusing, it is customary to use the symbol ! for angular speed and angular velocity. If the direction of rotation is not important, we will interpret ! to mean angular speed. In kinematic equations, ! is always the angular velocity, and you need to use a negative value for clockwise motion. v = !r (8) Relationship between speed and angular speed ! must be in units of rad=s. If you are given a frequency in rev=s or rpm, you should convert it to an angular speed in rad=s.
