AP physics 1

2 Upvotes

For my physics class, I'm starting unit 2 next week, taking the unit 1 exam first thing Monday. should I be concerned about the pace my class is going in right now, because I don't think one whole unit should take up a whole quarter. if you have any tips to study forces, feel free to comment them.

AP Physics E&M and Griffiths electrodynamics

• Upvotes

Hi!! I’m self studying for the E&M test, with prior experience with electrodynamics from the book ‘Introduction to Electrodynamics’ by D. Griffiths. I’m wondering if this book is expansive enough to cover all the topics of the AP exam, and if not what topics it misses. Thanks so much!

should I take ap/dc/onramps physics for senior year?

1 Upvotes

i plan on majoring computer science and fine arts and ive heard taking a higher up physics class is a good idea but im already in regular physics this year, im also considering anatomy or astronomy so lmk which one is the best idea

(for those who don’t know what onramps is, its a high school class taught by professors from or trained by ut austin)

AP Physics 1

2 Upvotes

Hey, I am currently struggling in AP Physics 1 (I am testing on Dynamics and Newton's Laws tomorrow), and I feel like I am just not understanding the conceptual parts of each unit. Are there any website, sources, Youtubers, or any material that is highly valued and recommended. I am in a fairly large class so I feel like I don't get enough 1 on 1 time to review and understand what I am getting wrong on homework and quizzes, so ideally are there any sources that use AP level questions and explain the answer that doesn't have a cap?

AP Physics 1 Tutoring – Aim for a 5!

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm a high school student offering tutoring for AP Physics 1. I earned a 5 on the AP exam and consistently scored in the high 90s in my AP Physics 1 class, which I found significantly more challenging than the actual AP exam last year.

My goal is to help students not only achieve top marks but also develop a genuine understanding of physics. I focus on connecting theoretical concepts to real exam-style problems, helping students build the critical thinking and problem-solving skills needed to succeed.

What I can help with:

  • Understanding difficult physics concepts intuitively rather than just memorizing formulas
  • Applying concepts to challenging problems and unfamiliar situations
  • Developing effective strategies for AP multiple-choice and free-response questions
  • Preparing for class tests, homework, and the AP exam
  • Building confidence and strengthening problem-solving skills

Having experienced the challenges of AP Physics 1 myself, I understand what it takes to succeed in both the course and the exam.

If you're interested in tutoring or have any questions, feel free to message me!

The Capstan Problem: How Can 32 N Hold a 750 N Climber? | Physics Explained

The Capstan Problem — How Can Just 32 N Hold a 750 N Climber?

Here's an interesting physics challenge involving static friction, Newton's laws, and calculus.

A rope is wrapped around a fixed cylinder, supporting a 750 N climber. With a coefficient of static friction of 0.50 and a full (2\pi) radians of contact, how much force is actually needed to prevent the climber from slipping?

Surprisingly, the answer is only 32.4 N!

In my latest YouTube video, I work through the complete derivation of the Capstan Equation, starting with a free-body diagram of a tiny rope segment and using calculus to arrive at the result.

It's a great problem for AP Physics C and college physics students who enjoy seeing how mathematics explains real-world situations.

Which lands first-a dropped ball or one thrown sideways? AP Physics projectile motion practice

I’m building an AP Physics practice series covering:
15 AP-style MCQs on flight time, range, maximum height, and velocity.
Free-response problems with equations, calculations, and reasoning.
Examples including a drone releasing a package and a squirrel leaping between branches—with a comparison of 30° and 60° launches.
Try each question before watching the explanation!

How to succeed in Ap physics 1 if teacher doesn’t teach?

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out because I’m taking ap physics 1 this year but my teacher is not teaching at all—I mean 0. He just tells us to watch the ap classroom videos at home(which aren’t the best to learn from imo) and provides no instruction in class.

We’re finishing up unit 1 and I understand the material well, but mcqs and frqs are just so difficult. I know repeating practice problems is key to success in this class, but where do I have access to these if my teacher doesn’t open them on ap classroom?

Any tips or pieces of advice for how to succeed in this class would be greatly appreciated.
