Unit 6: Oscillations
Overview
Oscillations are seen everywhere, from the music we hear to the springs we play with, and even with some topics we'll cover in electricity and magnetism 👀. In this unit, we'll cover some situations that involve simple harmonic motion and placing them in the context of units we have covered in the past.
Big Idea
How does the presence of restoring forces predict and lead to harmonic motion?
Exam Impact
Unit 5 will cover approximately 6%-14% of the exam and should take around 5 to 10, 45-minute class periods to cover. The AP Classroom personal progress check has 10 multiple choice questions and 1 free response question for you to practice on.
