Circular Motion/Gravitation (5%)  \n7. Simple Harmonic Motion (3%)  \nKinematic Equations  \nMotion Graphs  \n● In a position graph, velocity is the slope  \n● In a velocity graph, acceleration is the slope & the area under is displacement  \n● In an acceleration graph, the area under the line is velocity  \nBasic Formulas  \n● Acceleration=Δv/Δt  \n● V=d/t  \n● Vavg=V1+V2/2  \nProjectile Motion  \nThe basics:  \n● Horizontal motion: velocity, displacement, time  \n● Vertical motion: initial velocity, final velocity, displacement, time, acceleration  \n● Horizontal time=vertical time  \n● Apply kinematic equations to fill in vertical quantities and then use those to find horizonal quantities  \n● At the highest point, t=-Voy/-g  \nInvolving an angle:  \n● Break it down by horizontal and vertical components  \n● Use kinematics  \n● Apply the average velocity equation to find missing horizontal quantities (v=d/t)  \n● If up to the right, sine is for vertical and cosine for horizontal  \n● Horizontal range: Voy^2xsin2(-)/g where (-) is theta  \nForces  \nNewton’s Laws  \n1. If a center of mass is at rest, it’ll remain at rest unless acted upon by a net force (a moving center of mass will maintain a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net force)  \n2. The acceleration of an object/system is equal to the net force acting upon it divided by its mass (a=fnet/m)  \n3. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction (action-reaction requires 2 forces from 2 objects acting on each other)  \nEquilibrium  \n● Static Equilibrium: occurs when the net force on a MOTIONLESS object/system is 0  \n● Dynamic Equilibrium: occurs when the net force on a MOVING object/system is 0 (no acceleration though, must have a constant velocity)  \n● If it’s not moving or at a constant rate, all forces are balanced  \nNormal Force & Friction  \n● Normal force acts perpendicular to the surface applying it (Fg=mg)  \n● Friction force acts parallel to the surface applying it (s stops it from moving, k slows it)  \no Static friction (Fs): acts on motionless object; magnitude/direction will always be whatever keeps the object from moving (Fs\u003CMs x Fn); static friction will oppose the applied force until it reaches the max (then kin)  \no Kinetic friction (Fk): acts on moving objects once the static friction threshold has been passed; direction is always opposite the direction the object is moving (Fk=Mk x Fn) where M is the coefficient of friction  \no Sine makes it slide, cosine keeps it close (cos into the ramp, sine down it)  \nAtwood Machines  \n● Two masses hanging from a massless string with a massless/frictionless pulley  \n● Tension is consistent in the string and accelerations are always equal  \n● Considered a system (python method!), gravity is all that will accelerate it  \n● Fnet=ma=Tg-T=ma-T which means T=mg-ma  \n● If m1+m2m the system is in equilibrium (d or s) but if not, it accelerates  \n● Newton’s third law: a=Fnet/m  \n● The downwards force of one block minus the net force would give you the force of tension  \n*if an object is sliding or traveled a distance down (like on a ramp), the velocity at the bottom can be found with v=root of 2gh  \n*if going down a frictionless ramp, Mk=h/x  \nMechanical Energy  \nWork  \n● Work (w) is the mechanical transfer of energy to or from an object/system by pushing or pulling; occurs when a force is applied and displaces an object/system  \n● Scalar quantity  \n● Formula: W=Fdcos(-) or KEf-KEi  \n● Positive work: adds mechanical energy to the system; occurs when a component of the applied force and displacement are in the same direction (Θ is between 0 and 89)  \n● Negative work: takes mechanical energy from the system; occurs when the applied force and displacement aren’t in the same direction (Θ is between 91 and 180)  \n● Work tha","cbCaitRXBoDOLCMd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitRXBoDOLCMd","pdf",1352798,23,"English","# Energy\n# Dynamics / Newton’s Law\n# Kinematics\n## Motion Graphs\n## Kinematic Equations\n# Rotational Motion\n# Momentum\n# Circular Motion / Gravitation\n# Simple Harmonic Motion\n# Projectile Motion\n# Forces\n## Newton’s Laws\n## Equilibrium\n## Normal Force & Friction\n# Atwood Machines\n# Mechanical Energy\n## Work\n## Energy\n## Power\n# Momentum\n## Impulse\n# Elastic vs Inelastic Collisions","[{\"question\":\"How do motion graphs link to acceleration, velocity, and displacement?\",\"answer\":\"On a position graph, velocity is the slope.
