AP® Physics 1A

Course description.

The same laws of Physics are used to describe the behaviors of everything from small atoms, to enormous galaxies. 

With new discoveries come an improved understanding and appreciation of the universe we live in as well as great advancements in technology that save lives and improve the quality of lives around the world. These are some of the reasons people like us choose to study Physics.

The AP Physics 1A course uses inquiry-based lessons that focus on experimentation to develop your understanding of important concepts in Kinematics, Dynamics, Gravitation, Energy, and Momentum. With inquiry-based lessons, students begin to study a topic by making observations and discover natural phenomena. Next, students develop, test, and apply models to fit the observations. In this course students create and use multiple representations of physical processes, design investigations, solve multi-step problems, and reflect on learning using practice quizzes and self-assessment rubrics. In most labs, students use a variety of materials at home to collect data. While completing lessons, students use graphing calculators and online interactive simulations, an interactive notebook, practice quizzes and graded assignments.

20.   When you drop a 0.40 kg apple, Earth exerts a force on it that accelerates it toward the Earth’s surface.  Assuming Newton’s Laws are true (and they are!) the Earth must also accelerate toward the apple.  (a) Given its mass is 5.974 x 10 24 kg, determine the rate at which the Earth accelerates upward toward the falling apple.  (b) Determine how far the Earth moves up during the time that the apple moves down 1.0 m.

  • Welcome to the AP Physics 1 Summer Assignment!  We have so much to do and learn in the coming school year that we just cannot wait to begin! Hopefully, your summer plans include plenty of rest and relaxation. Many of you may be vacationing with family, working a full or part time job, and/or visiting colleges. As you enjoy all of these experiences, take time to "see the science" in them. What do I mean? Well, all of your modes of transportation, swims in the ocean or pool, and sunset watching have something in common! PHYSICS! You need to get excited about it! Of course, you also need to get ready for the serious business of learning about your world, and how the "things" that populate it, and the rest of the universe behave. Thus, the summer assignment...    You have been added to the AP Summer Assignment Course in Schoology.  When you log into Schoology, you should see the course listed.  If you do not, please contact me ASAP at [email protected].  All summer work, with the exception of the lab component, will be completed in Schoology.    The four parts of the summer assignment will comprise 3 independent work grades. Part 1 will be a completion and accuracy grade- this is mainly a review of concepts with which you should already be comfortable. Parts 2 and 3 will be checked for completion and work (you should be able to correctly answer the questions if you really watch the videos and spend some time on this, but it is probably new information to some degree). Part 4 will be graded for completion and accuracy; if you have any questions about it, please email me. IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU HAVE LOGGERPRO™ ON YOUR LAPTOP!     Finally, please sign up with the Remind system to receive text alerts. You should see the app on this page.         Sincerely,  Mrs. AF Carpinelli
