This information will be given to you as part of the exam. The official version of the table at collegeboard.org uses slightly different symbols and layout than you see here.

It's easy to find physics lessons, simulations, and examples. Quality control can be a problem because there is so much available.

If you want to learn physics, I would suggest just a few sites. I assign problems to my class based on these sites. Any way you choose to use them will be useful. All of the sites are free.

You can find better explanations for physics concepts in the explanations section. When you're starting a new topic and need an overview, this is the place to go.

These simulations are for exploration. When the net force is to the left, objects can move to the right. Make a ladybug crawl on the turntable by applying Torques to it. These will give you an idea of physics concepts that are outside of your experience.

The next best thing to an experiment is a pretend lab setup. Click through their situations and you will see a huge number aligned to AP Physics 1. If you want to figure out the meaning of the graph's slope, linearize the graph and graph one value vs. another on graph paper.

Click on one of the professionally produced, high-quality videos to see it. At 960 frames per second, you can superimpose rulers and protractors over the video frames. Everything here is a real live experiment. You have to clearly frame the question before you explain how to find the answer in a video.

PIzza Pizza is the traditional food of the physics study group. It's easy to share, inexpensive, and doesn't cause arguments like "let's order bean curd" might.

You should have experienced the late-night physics group study session.

Physics is more fun with friends than it is alone. Sometimes they are explaining things to you, but other times you are explaining things to them. Explaining physics to friends is the best way to learn.

"Hey, let's get together in my mom's basement to do the problem set" is a party invitation from Bill Nye the Science Guy. I would usually choose the five stars over the pizza place. I know of four pizza places, but I would prefer anything recommended by Squilliam Fancyson.

The Pantheon of Pizza is made up of these four people.

I have eaten at a member restaurant. Upon hearing of a potential visit to the restaurant, I must have an affinity for their pizza.

It's my choice who gets in.

Please send your own changes, additions, and oversights. You can reach me at Woodberry Forest School. I may attempt to make a pilgrimage if you make a good case for a particular pizza place joining the Pantheon.

Imagine you've graded AP exams for eight hours in downtown Kansas City. Imagine you're hungry on foot and you're not going to hike to Gates Barbecue tonight. Take some friends and walk a few blocks to the basketball arena. The Royals are playing on the TVs in the airy restaurant called Homeslice. Fresh mozzarella is their defining pizza feature. The origin story of 1Sorry was told by one of the owners.

I hear they've closed down.

AP readers can't top concert attendees of any genre, but the Pantheon of Pizza has fresh mozzarella, the recent genesis of their restaurant, and how AP readers are appreci ated as customers. The proof is in the pizza. The large thin pepperoni slices add flavor to the pie and are just right. The physics lounge is in the basement of the hotel.

This tiny shop below the #1 line train station in the North Bronx has everything you could ask for in a New York pizzeria-- street noise, no air conditioning but instead a fan running all summer, the Yankees game on the television, and Broadway Joe behind the counter. I'm pretty sure there are hundreds of such places in New York City, all of which have great pizza. Every year, I walk to Broadway Joe's during the AP Physics Teachers' Summer Institute at Manhattan College. The classic New York-style pie with deciliters of cheese piled on top of a foldable crust is popped ten minutes later.

I was discouraged at the food choices when I moved to central Virginia. Pizza Monday was discovered at the market.

Even an unjuiced Alex Rodriguez could hit a baseball across the length of Culpeper's Main Street, but it contains the heavenly brick oven from which its $5 pies spring forth each Monday, plus a lot of money for topping, plus another $5 if you come on a day other than Monday It's worth the money and the trip. One of the few pizza places that provides extra cheese is this one. The best pizza in the Pantheon is the one with the right size, thickness and thickness of cheese, baked until the edges begin to get crisp. The "Culpeper Crack" cheese spread is always available to sample, so if you're in the restaurant, try a bite. The pizza is only $5 per pie, but you'll spend more than that if you buy multiple tubs of the Crack to take home.

The United States Invitational Young Physicists Tournament was held in Oak Ridge for several years due to the presence of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. It was worth waiting in the crowd outside the door for a table for my friend and fellow physics teacher, and she was correct. The pizza was delicious, with a New York-style fold able crust and lots of cheese and pepperonis. The Kneeling Bench sold me more than even the T-shirts with a cartoony drawing of Big Ed himself. A high wooden facade separates the kitchen from the dining area.

There are benches in the middle of the facade. I was told to kneel on a bench, cup my hands and put them through the hole. A generous portion of shredded mozzarella was placed in my hands. I probably had as much cheese from my trips to the Kneeling Bench as I did from the pizza.

The big pizza chains have sprouted up across the area, and most people who sample Chicago-style deep dish pizza go to them.

Girl5 grew up in a small suburb in northwest Indiana and is aware of the famous fancy chains. The first pizza place that Burrito Girl took me to consisted of 3. The rat population along the banks of the East River could only be sustained by one large rat.

If there is such a thing.

My wife and sidekick is known as the mild-mannered Shari.

A sports bar and exotic reptile store are sandwiched between six booths at the Pantheon of Pizza. The progression of helpfulness, skepticism, and then horror that waitresses in Chicago pizza places impart upon me when I order extra cheese was what I experienced when I ordered.

Even though the pizza is stuffed with cheese, I want more cheese. I've told the tale before.

It takes 20 minutes for the cheese to hold the shape you want. Langel's is the best pizza in the known universe. The sauce can be appreciated throughout the entire pizza, because it is mixed all about and does not come in layers. I recommend getting a pure extra-cheese pie instead of the pepperoni. You will probably have enough for breakfast tomorrow. Too bad they don't deliver in a large area.
