Description: Q+A session right before the AP Physics 1 exclusively for Cram Supporters.

AP Physics 1

Speed into kinematics in unit 1 of AP Physics 1. We review position, velocity, and acceleration along with explaining how to interpret key motion graphs. We then cover how to calculate free fall, projectile motiom, and angled launches. 

Unit 1 – Kinematics

It's all about the dynamics in unit 2 of AP Physics 1! Dive into systems, gravitational field, contact forces, free-body diagrams, Newton's Laws and their applications, Hooke's Law, vectors, and much more to prepare you for the AP Physics 1 exam!

Unit 2 – Dynamics

Tires spinning. Satellites orbiting. Learn about circular motion like this in unit 3 of AP Physics 1. We cover vector fields, uniform circular motion, fundamental forces, Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, gravitational field, inertial mass, centripetal acceleration, and those all-important free-body diagrams.

Unit 3 – Circular Motion & Gravitation

Dig deeper into the different forms of energy in unit 4 of AP Physics 1. Explore important concepts like open & closed systems, work, power, kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, mechanical energy, thermal energy, Law of Conservation of Energy, and much more to master the AP Physics 1 exam!

Unit 4 – Energy

Keep up the momentum in unit 5 of AP Physics 1. Review linear & angular momentum, impulse, thrust force, changes in momentum problems, momentum in open & closed systems, elastic & inelastic collisions, center of mass, conservation of linear momentum through our helpful guides and practice questions!

Unit 5 – Momentum

Let's dive into simple harmonic motion in unit 6 of AP Physics 1, through key concepts like period, amplitude, frequency, equilibrium point, kinetic & potential energy, the periods of pendulums & springs, and energy in simple harmonic oscillators.

Unit 6 – Simple Harmonic Motion

Learn about what makes merry go rounds go around and more, including rotational motion, angular displacement, angular velocity, angular acceleration, period, torque, moment of intertia, rotational kinetic energy, and angular momentum with these AP Physics 1 unit 7 resources!

Unit 7 – Torque & Rotational Motion

Don't get shocked! Explore electricity with us in unit 8 of AP Physics 1. We cover essential concepts like charge, electrostatic force, conservation of charge, protons, neutrons, electrons, elementary charge, electric current, electric fields, and Coulomb's Law!

Unit 8 – Electric Charges & Electric Force

Learn about the circuits all around us in unit 9 of AP Physics 1. We review resistivity, voltage, current, resistance, charge, electrical energy, electrical power, series circuits, parallel circuits, Ohm's Law, resistors, Kirchhoff’s Loop Rule, Kirchhoff's Junction Rule, and much more to get a 5 on the AP Physics 1 exam!

Unit 9 – DC Circuits

Ocean waves! Sound waves! Microwaves! Learn about waves in unit 10 of AP Physics 1. We review amplitude, frequency, velocity, wavelength, interference, superposition, nodes, antinodes, transverse & longitudinal waves, Doppler Effect, beats, standing waves, open & closed tubes, harmonics, and all sorts of other applications!

Unit 10 – Mechanical Waves & Sound
