The APsolute RecAP: Physics 1 Edition - Testing Tips #4 - Experimental Design FRQ

Episode 33

Friday, April 30, 2021 • Duration 08:47

You will have 25 minutes to answer a single experimental design question worth 12 points in the FRQ portion of the AP Physics 1 exam. Read the question to determine the relationship being posed, list the quantities to be measured (2:47), develop a procedure to collect that data (4:48), and explain how you would analyze the data collected. (5:46) Good luck!

Question of the Day (7:42) When asked to provide a procedure for an experiment that you have created, what should you avoid doing?

The APsolute RecAP: Physics 1 Edition - Testing Tips #3 - FRQs

Episode 32

Friday, April 23, 2021 • Duration 08:22

You will have 90 minutes to answer 5 free-response questions. Easiest strategy to implement is to grab the low hanging fruit (0:56). The FRQ questions come in a few varieties: experimental design, qualitative/quantitative translation,(4:02) paragraph argument,(5:14) and two short answer questions.(6:00)

Question of the Day (7:20) Which is a good strategy for answering the paragraph length response FRQ?

The APsolute RecAP: Physics 1 Edition - Rotational Motion - Radians and Rotational Quantities

Episode 23

Friday, February 19, 2021 • Duration 09:25

It's time to practice that golf swing in Episode 23! In order to keep track of objects as they rotate, physicists and mathematicians have created a unit known as a radian. (1:52) Do you know how a golfer can hit the ball faster with a driver than with an iron or a wedge? (4:42) Remember, rotating objects have displacements, velocities and accelerations of both the linear and angular varieties. (6:21)

The Question of the Day asks: (8:27)

If the radius is doubled for a rotating object, how does that change the angular velocity of the rotating object?

The APsolute RecAP: Physics 1 Edition - Simple Harmonic Motion - Oscillating Springs

Episode 22

Friday, February 12, 2021 • Duration 10:20

How do astronauts weigh themselves in space? The answer to that question and more are in Episode 22. Because masses on springs oscillate, we start by relating the period of a spring to the factors affecting it. (1:16) Brief time is spent explaining the difference between period and frequency, and we define many of the key terms associated with the wave nature of oscillations. (2:43) The equation to find position of an oscillating object is provided and utilized to determine the velocity of the object for a given time and various other sinusoidal relationships are discussed as well. (4:27)

The Question of the Day asks: (9:23)

How can the period of mass on a spring be doubled?

The APsolute RecAP: Physics 1 Edition - Simple Harmonic Motion - The Conical Pendulum

Episode 21

Friday, February 5, 2021 • Duration 08:12

The conical pendulum can be a tough topic. Mainly because it relies heavily on numerous past topics. In this episode we start by looking at the forces acting on the pendulum (1:10). Once you apply what you know about forces, you can use knowledge gained about circular motion (4:22). Of course, trigonometry makes its obligatory cameo, and we boil it all down to two simplified equations (5:45).

The Question of the Day asks: (7:13)

If a pendulum is relocated to a planet with one fourth the gravitational acceleration of Earth, how will the period of its rotation compare to on Earth?

The APsolute RecAP: Physics 1 Edition - Simple Harmonic Motion - Simple Pendula

Episode 20

Friday, January 29, 2021 • Duration 08:47

In Episode 20, we are hanging around with a simple pendulum, and discussing just what makes a clock tick (0:36). While introducing the simple pendulum (1:04), we look at an experiment you can easily do from your own home with a string and a mass (1:33). What factors affect the motion of a pendulum (2:46)? You can test each one at home (4:42), but we let you in on all of the secrets eventually. Finally, conservation of energy has a cameo and we talk about find the velocity of a pendulum (7:01).

The Question of the Day asks: (7:47)

How long would a pendulum arm need to be to complete a tick or a tock every 1 second at sea level on Earth?

The APsolute RecAP: Physics 1 Edition - Momentum - Center of Mass

Episode 19

Friday, January 22, 2021 • Duration 07:23

Episode 19 explores the concept of center of mass, and specifically how the momentum of the center of mass is affected during collisions of the objects in the system. We start by observing a child and parent playing on a seesaw at the park (0:41). The center of mass calculation is presented, and an example provided (1:22). The action is quickly relocated to an ice rink and the collision of two ice hockey players to see that the momentum of the center of mass is conserved (4:23).

The Question of the Day asks: (6:17)

Two friends attempt to balance on a paddleboard of length L. One friend is 3 times as massive. If the heavier friend stands on one end of the board, where should the lighter friend stand to maintain balance?

The APsolute RecAP: Physics 1 Edition - Momentum - Reading and Using Graphed Data

Episode 18

Friday, January 15, 2021 • Duration 08:05

Episode 18 focuses on how to utilize graphs associated with momentum and impulse through three examples. Two railway cars collide in a velocity time graph. A fancy electric car accelerates (3:59) and a mischievous friend fires a slingshot in a force time graph (5:01). Momentum vs time graphs are less commonly used (6:16).

The Question of the Day asks: (7:06) A bullet of mass “m” is shot vertically at speed “v” into a wooden block of mass “10m.” After becoming embedded in the block, what height “h” does the bullet-block system reach?

The APsolute RecAP: Physics 1 Edition - Momentum - Impulse and Graphs

Episode 17

Friday, January 8, 2021 • Duration 07:42

Ahoy! In this episode we take a look at the change in momentum for a vehicle made by a crazy physics teacher. (0:42) We quickly shift gears to look at a graph of your physics teacher’s vehicle. (4:06) It’s then game, set, match while we look at the momentum change for a tennis ball. (4:37) Of course, what description of impulse would be complete without looking at the graph of force vs. time for the tennis ball. (5:38)

The Question of the Day asks: (6:45)

If a force of +20 N is applied for 5 seconds to a 10 kg lab cart initially at rest, how fast will the cart now be traveling?

The APsolute RecAP: Physics 1 Edition - Momentum, Collisions, and Graphs Associated

Episode 16

Friday, January 1, 2021 • Duration 09:46

BLUE 42! HUT! HIKE! Football players know a lot about momentum, and so do students of physics. We look at the momentum of a linebacker and a quarterback throughout a play. (0:41) Different collision types are discussed. (2:35) We then look at the algebraic solution to a momentum problem. (4:31) Good ole’ Kinetic Energy has a cameo, and we look at how energy can change during a collision. (6:14) Graphs of velocity vs. time and momentum vs. time are also evaluated. (6:53)

The Question of the Day asks: (8:46) If a lab cart of mass “M” traveling at velocity “vo” collides inelastically with a stationary lab cart of mass “3M”, what will the velocity be after the collision?
