Flashcards for AP Physics 1: Algebra-Based, split into the eight units of the Course and Exam Description in order, then by topic. Equation cards say whether the formula is on the AP Physics 1 equation sheet or has to be recalled.

Adding it gives you your own copy, with every subdeck below. Each card then comes back just before you would forget it, and every one you get right or wrong counts towards your mastery of its topic. You can delete or suspend the parts you are not studying once it is yours.

Some of its cards

  • What causes a fluid to flow between two locations?
    A difference in pressure between those two locations
  • A special case of periodic motion that occurs when the restoring force on an object is proportional to its displacement from equilibrium
    Simple harmonic motion
  • What equation gives an object's translational kinetic energy?
    K=12mv2K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2
  • In a system made of a massive central body and a much lighter orbiting satellite, whose motion can be treated as negligible?
    The central body's own motion
  • Newton's third law
    If object A exerts a force on object B, object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A
  • What equation gives the rotational kinetic energy of a rigid system with rotational inertia II and angular velocity ω\omega?
    K=12Iω2K = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2
  • What equation gives the total kinetic energy of a system that has both translational and rotational motion?
    Ktot=Ktrans+KrotK_{tot} = K_{trans} + K_{rot}
  • Under what condition can a torque transfer energy into or out of a rigid system?
    When the torque is exerted over an angular displacement
  • What equation defines linear momentum?
    p⃗=mv⃗\vec{p} = m\vec{v}
  • Can a system be in rotational equilibrium without being in translational equilibrium, or the other way round?
    Yes, each kind of equilibrium can hold independently of the other
