AP Physics 1 Exam Final Test
Questions All Correct 2026 Edition.
Displacement (Δx) - Answer -Net change in position
-Measured in meters (m)
Δx = x(f) - x(i)
Velocity (v) - Answer -Speed and direction
-Measured in meters per second (m/s)
average v = Δx/t
Acceleration (a) - Answer -Rate of change of velocity w/ respect to time
-Measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2)
average a = Δv/t
Speeding up vs. Slowing Down - Answer -Speeding up occurs when velocity and acceleration
have the same sign
-Slowing down occurs when velocity and acceleration have opposite signs
Position vs. Time Graph - Answer -Slope represents average velocity
-Object changes direction when graph crosses x-axis
Velocity vs. Time Graph - Answer -Slope represents average acceleration
-Area represents displacement
Acceleration vs. Time Graph - Answer -Area represents change in velocity
Scalars - Answer Quantities with only a size/magnitude (ex: speed, mass, length,
temperature, time, distance, energy, etc.)
Vectors - Answer Quantities with both a size and direction (ex: displacement, velocity,
position, acceleration, force, etc.)
, -Larger angles travel higher and spend more time in air, while smaller angles have greater
horizontal velocities
Force (F) - Answer -A push or pull
-Measured in Newtons (N)
Newton's 1st Law - Answer An object will move at a constant velocity in a frictionless, airless
vacuum unless another force is exerted on it
Inertia - Answer -property of an object that resists a change in motion
-measured in mass
Newton's 2nd Law - Answer Net force = mass x acceleration
Newton's 3rd Law - Answer Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
Normal Force (Fn) - Answer A contact force between force between two hard surfaces
Weight - Answer -Force of gravity on an object
-Depends on mass of object and strength of gravitational field
-Measured in Newtons (N)
Mass - Answer -How much stuff an object is made of
-Mass is independent of location of object
-Measured in kilograms (kg)
Static Friction (Fs) - Answer Force that resists motion of two objects that are stationary
relative to one another
Fs (max) = Us x Fn
Kinetic Friction (Fk) - Answer Friction when two objects slide against each other
Fk = Uk x Fn
