Actually, let’s not talk about them. The AP Physics 1 exam basically ignores significant figures, so you can too. My suggestion is to use roughly 3 sig figs and leave it at that.  \n2) Conversions. Understanding how conversions work does actually help with understanding physics. So, let’s do one to make sure you remember how. Convert 8,765 kg/m3 to g/cm3.  \nAnd now, on to AP Physics 1 – Unit 1 – Kinematics Review!  \nVectors and Scalars:  \n● Vectors have magnitude and direction.  \n● Scalars have magnitude only.  \n● Examples of vectors are displacement, velocity, acceleration, force, momentum, torque, angular momentum, etc.  \n● Examples of scalars are time, distance, mass, speed, volume, density, work, energy, rotational inertia, etc.  \n● Basic ways to illustrate that a variable is a vector. For example, for velocity, v:  \no You can put an arrow over a variable:   \no You can give the variable a subscript: vx  \no Sometimes you will see vectors are illustrated as boldface: v  \n● Often we illustrate vectors using arrows. The longer the arrow, the larger the magnitude of the vector.  \nDisplacement, Velocity, and Acceleration:  \n● Things to remember about displacement:  \no An object’s displacement is the straight-line distance between the object’s initial and final points.  \no Displacement is the change in position of an object.  \n▪  \no If an object stops at the same place it started, it has a displacement of zero.  \no The distance an object travels will always be greater than or equal to the magnitude of the displacement of the object.  \n▪ Magnitude just means the amount of. For example, if someone travels 5 meters North, the magnitude of their displacement is 5 meters.  \no Displacement is a vector. It has both magnitude and direction.  \n● Average speed is the distance traveled over the time duration of that travel.  \no Typically, the equation for average speed is:   \n▪ However, realize the time there is not a specific time, but rather the time duration during which the distance was traveled.  \no Speed is a scalar. It has magnitude only. It does not have direction.  \n● The equation for average velocity is:   \no Typical units for speed and velocity are meters per second, kilometers per hour, miles per hour, furlongs per fortnight. (maybe not that last one)  \no Velocity is a vector.  \no If the time interval over which the average velocity is taken is very small, then the velocity is considered to be instantaneous velocity. That is, the velocity at a specific time, rather than the velocity over a time period.  \n● The equation for average acceleration is:   \no Typical units for acceleration are meters per second squared. That’s it. Those are the only units that are typically used for linear acceleration.  \no If the time interval over which the average acceleration is taken is very small, then the acceleration is considered to be instantaneous acceleration. That is, the acceleration at a specific time, rather than the acceleration over a time period.  \no Acceleration is a vector.  \n● When the acceleration of an object does not change, we can use the uniformly accelerated motion or UAM equations. These are also often called the kinematics equations.  \no These three are on the equation sheet:  \n▪  \n▪  \n▪  \no This UAM equation is not on the equation sheet:  \n▪  \no All of these equations assume the initial time is zero.  \n● If a","cbCaibvPFj3Lr3mh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibvPFj3Lr3mh","pdf",291906,"English","# Vectors and Scalars\n# Displacement, Velocity, and Acceleration\n# Motion Graphs\n# Projectile Motion\n# Relative Motion","[{\"question\":\"Does the AP Physics 1 exam require strict significant figures?\",\"answer\":\"The lecture notes say the AP Physics 1 exam basically ignores significant figures, so using roughly 3 sig figs is sufficient.\"},{\"question\":\"How are displacement, speed, and velocity classified (vector vs. scalar)?\",\"answer\":\"Displacement and velocity are vectors with magnitude and direction, while speed is a scalar with magnitude only and no direction.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the slopes and areas on motion graphs represent?\",\"answer\":\"The slope of a position vs. time graph is velocity, the slope of a velocity vs. time graph is acceleration, and the area under a velocity vs. time graph gives change in position; area under acceleration vs. time gives change in velocity.\"}]","Flipping Physics Lecture Notes - AP Physics 1 - Unit 1 Review - Kinematics Exam Prep | PDF",1789894406]
