AP Physics B Topics for Test 3
AP Physics B • Energy and Work (chapter 6) • Kinetic, Potential Energies • Spring energy • Work done by external force = Fxd
AP Physics B • Circular Motion (ch 5) • Centripetal acceleration = v²/r • Circular motion problems are newton’s 2nd law problems with a = F/m • Always draw force diagrams, right?
AP Physics B • Universal Gravitation (ch 5) • Newton’s universal gravitation force connected the laws on earth to those in the sky. • There will be a couple of questions on the test regarding this.
AP Physics B • Torque and Rotational Equilibrium (ch 9) • Torque problems are static problems with no acceleration, so all the forces are balanced and all the torques must be balanced about any point you choose.
AP Physics B • Simple Harmonic Motion of Spring and Pendulum (ch 11) • Simple Pendulum period depends only on length of the string • Period of oscillating spring depends only on the mass and spring constant k
