AP PHYSICS 1 CONCEPTS
vector - ANSquantity that involves both magnitude and direction
scalar - ANSa quantity that does not involve direction twp
tow dimensional vectors - ANSvectors that lie flat on a plane and can be written as the sum of a
horizontal and vertical vector
kinematics - ANSmathematical tools for describing motion in terms of displacement, velocity,
and acceleration
position - ANSlocation in some point in space
displacement - ANSchange in position
average speed formula - ANStotal distance/ time
d/t
average velocity - ANSdisplacement/ time
△x/△t
velocity - ANSspeed plus direction
acceleration - ANSchange in velocity/ time
△v/△t
slope of position-versus-time graph - ANSvelocity
slope of velocity-versus-time graph - ANSacceleration
area between the graph and the t axis on a velocity-versus-time graph - ANSobject's
displacement
gravity - ANS-10 m/s^2
Newton's first law - ANSan object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in
constant velocity unless a net force acts on it (law of inertia)
Newton's second law - ANS
