<p>What is a good text book / prep book for AP Physics C Mechanics? I did well in Calculus BC. Is it hard to manage a 5?</p>
<p>Physics for Scientists and Engineers by Randall Knight (1st volume of it)
–I used this textbook for the Physics C equivalent in college.
The textbook actually does a really nice job at teaching the concepts. If you take your time to work through the examples and conceptual checks getting a 5 isn’t too hard.</p>
<p>Also, as a former Physics B student, the jump to the Calculus based exam isn’t very significant. Just that you’re using Calculus which actually is easier to work with and non-linear dynamics is an additional but quick to pick up topic.</p>
