AP Newton's Laws Review Sheet Newton's First Law (AKA Newton's Law of Inertia) ?Consider an object with no force acting on it. If it is at rest, it will remain at rest; if it is moving, it will continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed? 5 Everyday Forces Weight Fg = mg (direction is always down) Normal Force Fn (direction is always perpendicular to the surface Friction Ff = ?Fn (direction always opposes direction of motion) Applied Force FA (pushing or pulling) Tension FT (direction is always along the string or rope; tensions are equal on either side of a massless, frictionless pulley)

AP Kinematics Review Sheet Basic Terms: Position ? Location (sometimes in x and y coordinates) Displacement ? Distance and direction from initial position Speed ? Rate of change of displacement; magnitude only Velocity ? Rate of change of displacement; direction and magnitude; v = ?x/?t Acceleration ? Rate of change of velocity; direction and magnitude; a = ?v/?t For graphs of position versus time, velocity versus time, and acceleration versus time: Velocity is the slope of a position versus time graph Average velocity ? only use the first and last points Instantaneous velocity ? use the slope of the tangent line to the curve *The area under a velocity vs time graph equals distance acceleration is the slope of a velocity versus time graph

CHAPTER 6 REVIEW NAME_________________________________________ 1) Can work be done on a system if there is no motion? A) Yes, if an outside force is provided. B) Yes, since motion is only relative. C) No, since a system which is not moving has no energy. D) No, because of the way work is defined. Answer: D Diff: 1 Type: BI Var: 1 Page Ref: Sec. 6.1 3) If you push twice as hard against a stationary brick wall, the amount of work you do A) doubles. B) is cut in half. C) remains constant but non-zero. D) remains constant at zero. Answer: D Diff: 1 Type: BI Var: 1 Page Ref: Sec. 6.1

Physics-p3 1.1 X-Rays Part of the electromagnetic spectrum; they have a high frequency and short wavelength. X-rays are used to form images of bone on photographic film to check for fractures and dental fractures. This is done because they are transmitted by healthy tissue and absorbed by bone. X-rays affect photographic film in the same way as light. Charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are used to form electronic images of the body. X-rays are used to make images and CT scans (cross sections through the body). They are also used to destroy tumors at or near the body surface. Precautions must be taken when using X-rays as they cause ionization and can damage living tissue. Workers should wear film badges (to monitor exposure) and use lead screens to shield them when possible.

Moon-Earth System When looking at the moon, if the bright side fits in your right hand it is waxing, if it fits in your left hand it is waning. I. Moon Movements A. Rotation Moon turns on axis a. Creates Moon?s day and night Takes 27 1/3 Earth days B. Revolution Moon?s orbital path around Earth a. Creates Moon?s year Takes 27 1/3 Earth days Because rotation/revolution cycles are identical, some side of Moon always faces Earth a. Sun does strike all parts of moon C. Moon Phases Gradual change in appearance of Moon a. Arrangement of Sun, Earth, Moon results in phases Phase month is 29 ? days ? a. Extra time caused by Earth?s orbit around Sun b. 2 plus days needed to get Sun, Earth, Moon lined up c. 13 lunar cycles in our year
