Take an abbreviated look at the exam. Class members review released items to prepare for the BC exam. The released questions are the six free-response questions from the 2001 exam. Three of the items have context, while the other three...

Who knew F=MA could determine the force of a free-falling elevator? Give your class this set of thirteen word problems for practice determining force, mass, and acceleration of everyday objects. One question introduces an object in...

Students calculate effects of gravitational force on planets, discuss the effects of weightlessness on the human body and describe and demonstrate how objects in a state of free fall are accelerated by gravity at an equal rate.

Pupils see that light and heavy objects fall at the same rate, as established experimentally by Galileo. They see that falling objects, and balls rolling down an incline, tend to accelerate at a constant rate a. Their velocity increases...

Student identify the three stationary positions, on the Earth, on the Moon, and in a house floating atop the cloud layers of Jupiter. They also identify the three orbiting positions, orbiting the Earth, orbiting the Moon, and orbiting...

Relevance is key! The resource applies quadratic modeling by incorporating application of physics and business. Pupils work through scenarios of projectile motion and revenue/profit relationships. By using the key features of the graph,...

For this symbols worksheet, students read about how different symbols are used to represent variables or constants in equations. Then students complete 3 problems.

When you work with equations that show position, velocity, acceleration of objects that are flying or falling through the air, you will be using the constant that is the acceleration due to gravity. View formulas, explanations, and...

Using the free-fall constants and gravity acceleration equations, we can determine many things about the position, velocity, and speed of a projectile. Here are a few examples and explanations. This is a great review for the AP Calculus...
