A 9-V battery has four resistors connected to it.
Justify your answers with short para graphs.
The resistances current in the circuit must run through the add to give them 340.
Each pair of parallel resistors takes the same thing. That's the total number of transistors.
Each of the 120 and 220 resis has more power than the 150 resis. The tors are ranked.
It's possible for the parallel combination to take more power than the 400. The equivalent resistors can be used to get the current through each by just dividing the voltage. Don't worry, there's no need to worry about a 1,000 Resistor. If you rounded differently than I did, the parallel combination would have an ance of 200 and take more power than the 100.
There's no way to avoid having the largest 400 resistor, which must take all the (d) Start with the entire equivalent circuit. The 9-V battery is not affected by the current in the circuit. The bottom branch says that the parallel resistor that comes first had a resistance of 220 but now is just the diagram has to take the larger current.
A larger total resistance causes a smaller total current to choose a parallel path. It would take this cuit because the 400 Resistor is in a different state than the Resistor. The 200 and 300 resistors would not split the current, but the total current would be less than before, so both would have the same voltage.
Using takes less power.
It's not the junction rule.
The magnitude of a force should not have each other, which is equal to the total. The direction is repulsive.
The force can be decreased. The magnitude of the force is reduced by the age to go across the Resistor.
More charges will not change if the charge of each item and the distance between the two are small.
The total amount of charge in a system is always the same.
The sum of all of the individual resistors is the equivalent resistance.
If you have to do the calculation, the equivalent resistance of parallel resistors is less than any individual one.
The junction rule says that the current entering a wire junction equals the current leaving it.
The sum of voltage changes around a circuit loop is zero according to the loop rule.
The chapter introduces the basic properties of waves. The pieces of the material do not move when a wave moves through them. They tend to move in a straight line. The chapter describes what that means.
Waves on the surface of a lake or pond are something you're familiar with. The waves on the machine look similar to those in the figure. A ruler can be used to measure the wavelength of the wave.
There is a back-and-forth oscillation with a position-time graph that looks like a function. A pendulum and a mass vibrating on a spring are typical examples.
A cart of mass is attached to a spring of 30 N/m on a track. The cart is stretched from the equirium position.
It might ask for a specific effect that doubling the cart's mass would have on the period.
The periods are inverse of the frequencies.
You can use your calculator to divide the mass on a spring by 0.81 to get a Frequency of 1.2 s.
The force of the spring on the cart is greatest when the spring is not stretched at the equilibrium position.
This means that you can't use equations with motion.
When a problem asks for the speed of a cart, conserve energy.
There are exceptions for simple and physical pendulums, but the AP exam won't ask about them.
The spring has the largest amount of energy at the endpoints and zero at the equilib rium position. The spring energy is converted to the cart's energy. The largest energy is the largest speed.
The maximum speed can be calculated by writing out the energy conversion from the end of the motion to the beginning of the motion. Plug in values and solve the problem.
The pendulum is released from rest at the start position. The positions A, B, C, and D are labeled.
The same way as a spring is to treat a pendulum. It still requires an energy approach, not a kinematics approach, to determine its speed at any position.
It's not likely that you're going to use numbers to calculate a period. You might be asked to rank the positions in terms of quantity or other.
The lettered positions should be ranked by the bob's potential energy. D > C > A > B.
The lettered positions should be ranked by the bob's mechanical energy.
Total mechanical energy is the sum of potential and energy. Before plugging into the equation, you need to convert the maximum distance from equilibrium to 0.1 meters.
The total mechanical energy doesn't change because Waves and Simple Harmonic Motion doesn't have an internal structure to allow for internal energy. The ranking is as low as possible.
The lettered positions should be ranked by the bob's speed. The bob moves fastest when the gravi tational potential energy is smallest. B > C > A > D.
On the surface of the Moon, there is a 1.6 N/kg field, while on the surface of Jupiter, there is a 26 N/kg field.
Waves are only covered in the AP Physics 1 Exam if they are sound or waves on the ocean's surface. Light waves aren't covered in detail.
A wave pulse travels to the right through a spring and then extends into a second spring in the preceding figure. The waves are quicker on the right-hand spring.
The coil of the spring moves up and down the page as the wave moves to the right.
The wave's amplitude affects the amount of energy carried by it.
A good AP-style question might ask you to resketch the diagram so that a pulse of about the same wavelength carries more energy.
The knowledge you need to score high of the coil above the resting position is related to the energy carried by a wave. The pulse should be the same length.
Waves are the same when they change materials.
When the waves move into the new spring, the waves speed up, but the frequencies remain the same. The wave will look bigger in the spring.
A wave moves through water.
The wave is traveling through the spring, so it is either right or left. The spring's coil is spread out and compressed.
This is a longitudinal wave because the motion of the spring's coil is left-right.
Draw a wavelength on the picture. A wavelength is the distance between two positions on a wave.
Waves don't bounce or stick like objects when they collide. The waves form one single wave for a moment, and then they go on their merry way.
The result is a wave.
Waves are about to interfere.
The two wave pulse on a string moving toward each other in the preceding figure will interfere with each other since their amplitudes are on the same side of the string's resting position. The wave will look like the dark line in the figure.
Waves interfering with each other.
The waves continue in the direction they were originally traveling.
Two waves after interfering.
The result is a wave.
Waves with different frequencies on opposite sides of the string's resting position produce destructive interference.
If we send the two wave pulse in the following figure toward each other, they will interfere destructively and then continue along their ways.
Waves are about to interfere.
Waves interfering destructively.
Waves after interfering destructively.
interference is the reason for a standing wave. Waves are traveling back and forth on the string, reflecting off of each end and interfering with each other. The net effect of this interference is a pattern.
A guitar string is being plucked.
When plucking a string, you produce a standing wave of the longest wavelength, and thus the smallest possible Frequency. If you watch carefully, the string will look like a picture.
The wavelength of a standing wave is twice the wavelength of the next wave.
The wavelength here is 2 m, which is equal to the length of the string.
The following figure shows a Harmonic like the one you created. The wavelength is 1 m.
You can put any number of antinodes on a string.
The string or pipe must have whole-number multiples of the fundamental frequencies.
The wave speed depends on the tension in the string and the mass of 1 meter worth of string, but that can vary.
If this guitar string produces a fundamental Frequency of 100 hertz, then the Harmonics that can be played are 200 hertz, 300 hertz, 400 hertz, etc.
Any note can be played on a guitar.
The note played will be pitched higher because of the higher fundamental frequencies of the shorter string.
The string can be loosened or tightened. A standing wave will be produced by a tighter string. A higher-pitched note means a higher frequency.
The one-m-long pipe is open at both ends.
When a pipe is open at one end and closed at the other, the standing wave in this pipe must have an antinode at the other end. The wave with the longest possible 3Harmonics is not what you hear.
The Knowledge You Need to Score High wavelength is shown in the preceding figure. The wavelength of a standing wave is twice the distance between the two. The wave is so long we don't see a second one. Four times the length of the pipe is the wavelength of this wave.
The sound in this pipe is about 340 m/s. The funda mental Frequency is 85.
If you have a couple of tuning forks that are similar but not identical, you might enjoy playing with them. They make a wonderful "wa-wa" sound, which is due to a periodic increase and decrease in intensity.
If you enjoy watching auto racing, you will hear "Neeee-yeeeer" when the cars scream past the TV camera.
The following two figures show what happens when a fire truck passes by.
The sirens of the fire truck are loud. When the truck is 50 meters away from you, the sirens emit one wave. When the truck is close to you, it emits another pulse. It appears to you that the waves of sound that the truck emits are getting mixed together.
It appears as if the waves are stretched out after the truck passes by.
Imagine if you could record the sound waves hitting you. The time between the first wave hitting and the next wave hitting is very small when the truck is moving towards you. When the truck is moving away from you, you would have to wait for one wave to hit you and the next wave to hit you. When the truck is moving towards you, you register that the sirens are making a higher-frequency noise, and when the truck is moving away, you register that the sirens are making a lower-frequency noise.
That's all you need to know about the effect. The effect is small, at normal speeds, and it will only change by a small amount.
Chapter 18 includes additional drills regarding simple harmonic (b) and a tuning fork vibrating in motion graphs.
When the pipe is A Transverse, the best tuning fork for vibrating parallel to the direction of wave is 22 cm long.
Pick all that applies.
The wave shown in the previous figure is approaching you.
When it was near you, ask the following questions about elec. Is this observation mechanical or tromagnetic?
Pick all that applies. Justify your answer.
The period of a mass-on-a-spring system is doubled.
The length of the sound wave is four times that of the one without the shortest pipe length.
As a peak or a trough. It's 3.0 m.
Next, the pipe will amplify. Since the wave speed doesn't change, a bigger Frequency means a and a Node at the other.
Since tromagnetic waves can be transmitted through 22 cm, we need to add that distance twice to get a vacuum. Radio waves, which are all parts of the pipe, include a full "hump" of a standing wave inside light. To get the spectrum, add 44 cm to the pipe. Sound waves at a pipe length of 66 cm need a material to be transmitted.
44 cm to get resonance at 112 cm. The sound waves have a resonance of 154 cm.
The particles of the ends of the pipe will vibrate if the waves are standing at both longitudinal. The wave of material is traveling at 22 cm per second and has an antinode at one end.
44 cm is the distance from the light's point of view to the next point of view. It used to be 66 cm. The open and closed pipes have different frequencies and waves, but the closed pipe has an antinode at one end.
All waves add 44 cm to the total. The source needs to make sure a node is at each end.
The shortest pipe length that resonance is observed to have a higher Frequency.
Waves of a period are inverse of the higher frequencies observed by an observer. A larger period is related to the sound's pitch.
The period doubles and the horn sounds less loud.
The mass term is related to the wave's ampli numerator and square root, so the mass should increase. You hear a softer noise after rooting the factor for a sound wave.
The periods and frequencies are inverses of one another.
The wave's amplitude affects the amount of energy carried by it.
The wave's Frequency stays the same when it changes materials.
The result is a wave.
The result is a wave.
The wavelength of a standing wave is twice the wavelength of the next wave.
The string or pipe must have whole-number multiples of the fundamental frequencies.
The pitch of a musical note is determined by the sound wave's Frequency and the loudness of a note is determined by the sound wave's amplitude.
When two notes of equal but close proximity are played, beats occur.

Every situation that you may be asked to understand in physics can't be covered by the How to Use This Chapter Practice problems and tests. Some topics come up again and again, so that they might be worth a review.
To get a focused, intensive review of a few of the most essential physics topics, you need to review the Knowledge You Need to Score High chapter.
They are called "drills" for a reason. They stress repetition and technique as they are designed to be skill-building exercises. If you're a musician or an athlete, working through these exercises might remind you of playing scales.
The questions in each drill are the same.
The lab cart is attached to a spring on a frictionless surface. The rightward direction is positive.
If you're off by a significant figure, it's okay.
The cart comes briefly to rest at the endpoints. The energy is at its lowest point. The potential energy graph is curved because the potential energy must add to the same value.
The total mechanical energy of a system is conserved. The normal force and gravity do not work. The spring force is conservative. The mechanical energy can't change.
The cart comes to a stop at both ends. Graph positive values only because speed has no direction. The cart's acceleration is not constant because the spring force changes. A position-time graph and a velocity-time graph can look like curves in simple motion.
The net force is zero. As the distance increases, the amount of force increases. The force is positive when the cart is far to the left. The force is negative when the cart is far to the right because the spring pushes it to the left.
The force of the cart on the spring is the same in magnitude and direction as the force of the spring on the cart. The answer should be changed to Question 4.
The spring constant is a property of the spring. The spring constant cannot change since it isn't replaced while the cart is moving.
The force of the spring on the cart graph is what the acceleration graph should look like. We would divide the force by the cart's mass at each position if we cared about the values on the graph. The problem is just the shape.
The potential energy is zero. At the endpoints, the potential energy is the largest. The graph is curved.
These kinds of problems can be solved using the following steps: Draw a free-body diagram for each block, resolve vectors into their components, and writeNewton's second law for each block.
No components are required for the next step.
3.3 m/s2.
No components are required for the next step.
Assume a block is released from rest unless otherwise stated.
The angle of the plane is 27 degrees and the distance is 22 m.
This one can't be solved in a single step. The problem must be broken up into two parts: up the plane and down the plane. The acceleration is constant so the equations are valid.
The block has to go up and down.
This can be done without reference to the second equation.
The slope is the velocity for a position-time graph. The area under the graph is the displacement, and the slope is the acceleration.
The graph can be used to determine the object's speed. Explain how the object moves and suggest what object might be able to do it.
The descriptions of the moving objects reflect our imaginations. You might have come up with a different description.
The average speed over the first 5 s is about 22 mph. Someone rolls a bowling ball. The bowling ball is moving fast, but it encounters a long hill when the graph starts.
The extra drills come to a stop after 5 s. and the ball goes back down the hill.
The maximum speed involved is about 5 mph, and this motion only lasts 1 s. A biker is cruising up a hill. The biker is barely moving when the graph starts. Within half a second, after only half a meter up the hill, the bike turns around and goes back down the hill.
The maximum speed is 30 cm/s. A toy racecar is moving slowly. The track goes up a short hill. After 2 s, the car just barely reached the top of the hill, and is perched there temporarily; then, the car crests the hill and speeds up as it goes down the other side.
The steady speed over 200 s is 0.25 m/s, or 25 cm/s, or about a foot per second.
The school's running track has a roaches crawling on it. Three minutes later, the cockroach reaches the goal line and crawls at the same speed back to his starting point, having found nothing to interest him.
A small plane is about to land. The pilot puts the engines in reverse after touching the ground. The engines are on despite the plane coming to rest in 5s.
This thing covers 5 meters in 3 seconds.
An 8-year-old is riding a bike. The boy is not strong enough to work the pedals on his own. He was able to speed the bike up to a reasonable clip after a few seconds.
The whole process takes 5 ms, which is less than the minimum time interval indicated by a typical stopwatch.
In the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett, wizards have developed a computer in which living ants in tubes, rather than electrons in wires and transistors, carry information. One of the ants moves forward by 1mm, stays in place for 3 ms, and returns to the original position. If this ant's motion represents two typical "operations" performed by the computer, then this computer has an approximate processing speed of 400 Hz times the total number of ants inside.
A child is pretending to be a bulldozer. He speeds up from rest to a slow walk with a "brm-brm-brm" noise in his mouth. After walking for three more seconds, he slows down to rest. He traveled a total distance of 4 m from the area under the graph.
The stuff moves 300 million meters at a constant speed. There's only one way to see this: waves in a vacuum.
The surface of the moon emits light and radiation. The light has covered about half the distance.
Something is at 1,000 cm/s2 for a few seconds. 10 m/s2 is about Earth's gravity. The thing has dropped 80 m if we drop it near Earth.
Dropping an experiment from the top of a high tower is one way to test the effects of zero gravity. The effect is the same as if the experiment were done in the Space Shuttle--until everything hits the ground. An experiment is dropped from a 250-ft tower, hitting the ground with a speed close to 90 mph.
It takes 1 cm/s.
A snail wakes up to find food. He goes from rest to his top speed in 10 seconds. A minute later he's gone no farther than a couple of feet, because he continues to slide along at a steady 1 cm/s. Let's hope the food is good.
The thing stops for five whole seconds, which is an important difference over the up-and-down-a-hill graphs.
At the top of the hill, a bicyclist slows down from 15 mph to 15 s and then speeds up as she goes back down the hill.
The current through series resistors is the same, and the age across series resistors adds to the total voltage. The current through parallel resistors adds to the total current.
You can find the current through and voltage across the resistors.
Assume each resistance and voltage value is precise to two figures.
You can see the step-by-step solution.
Start by making the combinations simpler. The 8 kO and 10 kO are in close proximity.
Next, simplify the resistors to their equivalent resistance.
The total resistance of the entire circuit is 6.4 kO.
Look at the previous diagram. The same current must be sent out of the battery, into the 2 kW resistor, and into the 4.4 kW Resistor. The 2 kO and 4.4 kO resistors can be used to determine the V for each of them.
The chart has the 2 kO Resistor on it. The equivalent of two parallel resistors is the 4.4 kO Resistor.
A quick answer is probably shorter than you think. While I grade the exams every year, I am writing here as an independent observer. I don't represent the College Board. These instructions may not be perfect, but they are my own.
You can tell from reading this book that simple guidelines are better than legalisms for learning physics. The College Board's course and exam description and the AP Central page detail the requirements for a paragraph response if you want the legalisms. You don't need to see that detail.
On the last day of class before the exam, I remind students of the types of prompt and guidelines for the length of the response. I let go of them and wish you the best as you prepare for the exams.
Start with an equation from the equation sheet or a fundamental principle. It is not necessary to complete sentences in your work. If the mathematics is clearly communicated, full credit can be earned.
What equipment will you use to measure it? Stop writing.
Four is often enough. Don't repeat the question in the answer. Get to the point.
Don't worry about the lost point. Students fear that the reader will take off if they miss a small detail in an essay. The bigger picture is missed by those students. Running out of time on question 5 could cost them seven points, while writing an extra page could earn one point. It's more likely to lose credit for an incorrect statement than it is to gain it.
Don't be afraid. If you have to guess, make a quick guess. AP readers know that you have no idea how to approach a problem when you're just writing random gibberish. The rubrics are written so that they are not likely to give credit for baloney.
