Struggling with forces and Newton’s Laws in AP® Physics 1? In this lesson, we clear up some of the most common stumbling blocks from roughly the first half of Unit 2, including center of mass, translational equilibrium, constant velocity...

Master the fundamentals of AP Physics 1 Unit 1: Kinematics with this clear, example-driven walkthrough of common stumbling blocks students face. We’ll break down how instantaneous velocity differs from average velocity, why “negative...

Explore the idea of instantaneous velocity—how fast and in what direction an object is moving at a specific moment in time. This lesson includes graphical interpretations, slope of position-time graphs, and its link to calculus.

Learn about the basics of 1-dimensional motion in this informative video! We'll cover the relationship between distance and time, and how to read and interpret distance-time graphs. Perfect for students studying physics or anyone looking...

This section of Kinematics AP Physics review, we focus on motion graphs in physics. We explore how the slope of a position versus time graph represents velocity, while the slope of a velocity versus time graph represents acceleration....

This review of Unit 1: Kinematics for AP Physics 1, we cover essential topics such as significant figures, conversions, vectors and scalars, and key kinematic equations. It emphasizes the importance of understanding vector quantities...

This section, we explain the concept of relative motion, emphasizing that the motion of an object depends on the observer's frame of reference. In AP Physics 1, relative motion is limited to one dimension. A common example involves two...

👉 Learn how to solve particle motion problems. Particle motion problems are usually modeled using functions. Now, when the function modeling the position of the particle is given with respect to the time, we find the speed function of...
