Your summer assignment consists of an overview of vectors and 1-D and 2-D kinematics. Note that there will be calculus involved and which will include the derivative for which I have attached a primer in the appendix for those that are still to cover it.  \nIt is expected that you review the pertinent materials covering a summary of vectors and kinematics. You are then to finish the attached multiple-choice problems and the one free response question.  \nThis is a college level course and you are expected to use the resources at your disposal to figure out and learn how to solve the given problems.  \nIf you need any help, please reference youtube and specifically AP Plus Physics (Dan Fullerton) online.  \nEnjoy the Summer.  \nMr. Robayo  \nRHS STEM/Physics  \nGraphing  \n\n|  | Displacement–Time Graph |  | Velocity–Time Graph |  |  | Acceleration–Time Graph |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Constant\u003Cbr>Velocity | x\u003Cbr>x0 | | v v0 | |  | a\u003Cbr>a0\u003Cbr>Fig 1.1c\u003Cbr>t |  |\n|  | Fig 1.1a | t |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  | Fig 1.1b |  | t |  |  |\n| Uniform\u003Cbr>Acceleration | x | Slope is v (tangent line)\u003Cbr>| \u003Cbr>v\u003Cbr>v0\u003Cbr>Slope is a\u003Cbr>Area under |  |  | a\u003Cbr>a0  Area under  |  |\n|  | x0\u003Cbr>Fig 1.1d | t | Fig 1.1e | curve is ∆x\u003Cbr>t |  | Fig 1.1f | curve is ∆v\u003Cbr>t |\n| Slopes of Curves are an important analytical tool used in physics. Any equation that can be manipulated into the format y = mx + b can be represented and analyzed graphically. As an example: v = v0 + at can be rearranged slightly into v = at + v0 . Compare this equation to the equation of a line. It is apparent that a is the slope and that v0 is the y-intercept (Fig 1.1b and Fig 1.1e). What equation generates velocity in Fig. 1.1a and Fig 1.1d?\u003Cbr>Area Under a Curve is another important graphical tool. Multiply the y-axis (height) by the x-axis (base) and determine if this matches any known equations. For example: Figures 1.1b and 1.1e are velocity-time plots. Simply multiply v × t . This is a rearranged form of the equation v = x t . The form obtained from the graph is x = vt , which means that displacement is the area under the velocity-time plot. |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n\nCalculus: Required in AP Physics C (optional for AP Physics B students). Calculus is taught in math class. These review sheets will focus on the Physics aspect of solutions. Calculus steps may not be shown. Solution will be up to the student. The equations outlined in the previous page work well in the following situations.  \n• Linear Functions: involving constant velocity and acceleration, as diagrammed in the above graphs (except Fig 1.1d) .  \n• Nonlinear Functions: scenarios where the problem is seeking information about a change in a quantity, ∆x or ∆v.  \n• Nonlinear Functions: scenarios where the problem is seeking an average velocity in an interval.  \nCalculus is needed to find the slopes of nonlinear functions and the areas under nonlinear curves.  \n1. Velocity: Slope of the displacement-time curve.  \ndx d ⎛ 1 2 ⎞  \nv =  dt  example: v =  dt  ⎜⎝x0 + v0t +  2 at ⎠⎟ = v0 + at v = v0 + at  \n2. Acceleration: Slope of the velocity-time curve. a = ~~ ~~dvdt~~ ~~ example: a = ~~ ~~ddt~~ ~~ ( v0 + at) = a  \n3. Velocity: Area under acceleration-time curve. (Note: if c = v0 cannot be found, then you can only solve for ∆ v ) v = ∫ a dt example: v = ∫ ( a ) dt = c + at v = v0 + at  \n4. Displacement: Area under the velocity-time curve. (Note: if c = x0 cannot be found, then you can only solve ∆ x )  1  2  1  2  \nx = ∫ v dt example: x = ∫ ( v0 + at) dt = c + v0t + 2 at x = x0 + v0t + 2 at  \nRevised 8/29/06 3 © R H Jansen  \nFalling Bodies: Objects moving vertically under the influence of gravity. Earth’s surface gravity is g = –9.8 m/s2. This speeds objects up (+ acceleration), but is directed downward (−). Objects can be thrown up, down, or just be dropped.
