Where are You guys at in AP Physics?

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation
1

<p>My class is currently in the middle of newton's laws. Are we behind?</p>

2

<p>No, different classes start out differently. </p>

<p>I just did my thermodynamics and fluid mechanics test</p>

3

<p>Starting waves and optics. School started in July for us though.</p>

4

<p>finished 2 dimensional motion</p>

<p>lol talk about being behind</p>

5

<p>finished newton’s laws. next is newton’s laws applied to centripetal motion which will take a couple days.</p>

6

<p>We just finished centripetal motion.</p>

7

<p>Work and energy. We’re a bit behind pace according to our syllabus.</p>

8

<p>Starting two dimensional motion.</p>

<p>Needless to say, I will not be taking the AP test.</p>

9

<p>We will be doing angular momentum next and just had a test on linear momentum. We should be starting E and M before winter break.</p>

10

<p>got up to simple harmonic motion and pendulum. Since my school is on a block schedule, I have to self-study some of the chapters in the textbook. Third term’s main focus is electricity and magnetism.</p>

11

<p>lol @ jamesford</p>

<p>we just finished thermodynamics… is anyone else using Giancoli?</p>

<p>we are on Chapter 15</p>

12

<p>halliday/resnick ftw</p>

13

<p>momentum and energy</p>

14

<p>We’re doing momentum and some center of mass stuff… watching MIT lectures, blehh.</p>

<p>@peacein345: That’s our school’s physics honors book, haha. We use Young and Freedman.</p>

15

<p>We started with Electricity and Coulumbs lol.</p>

16

<p>We did kinematics, Newton’s Laws, circular motion, torque, rotational kinematics (this isn’t actually in the syllabus), and simple harmonic motion.</p>

17

<p>Just starting rotation. We’ve completed One-Dimensional Motion and Multi-Dimensional Motion, as well as Forces and Circluar Motion. We’re a little behind, but the course heats up during the middle I would suppose. Overall though, it’s a fairly easy course.</p>

18

<p>We’ve done motion in one and two dimensions, newton’s laws, circular and planetary motion, and we’re about to test on Work, Power and Energy.</p>

19

<p>Finished momentum</p>

20

<p>@sylviecerise</p>

<p>lol. our school uses it for both AP and honors. i think it is because we have to buy our books and a lot of kids take honors and then AP, so they don’t have to rebuy and are already familiar with the text. meh, it works well enough</p>
