AP Physics 2 New Material, but also builds on AP Physics 1 • Notebooks • Either get a new one or start a new section • New Table of Contents • Use for Warm-Ups, Most labs, notes Class Items • Electricity • • • • • More about Circuits: Series and Parallel Calculating Voltages and Currents for circuits More about Electric Fields that surround charges Capacitors & Electric Fields Capacitors in circuits with resistors AP Physics 2 Topics • Magnetism (Electro-Magnetism) • • • • • • What are magnets & magnetic properties Electric fields vs. magnetic fields Interactions between magnetic and electric fields Magnetic Forces How do we “make” electricity Electricity and Magnetism messing with each other, it’s all about MOTION AP Physics 2 topics • Waves and Optics • • • • • • Mostly about light (or electromagnetic waves) How light behaves like a wave Optics: Bending (refraction) of light or reflecting light How lenses and mirrors are used to make / alter images Magnification, image formation, How do contact lenses & glasses work? AP Physics 2 topics • Fluid Mechanics • • • • • Why did your aluminum “boat” hold pennies? Does aluminum float? Buoyancy and why things float (or not) Moving fluids, how do metal airplanes fly? Most importantly, why do frisbees fly ? AP Physics 2 topics • Thermal Physics • Some review from chemistry • How heat is used as a source of energy • Expansion of materials when heated AP Physics 2 topics • Modern Physics • A little bit about quantum physics ideas • Photo-electric effect, energy is quantized • Watt does E = mc2 mean? AP Physics 2 topics • Reviewing for AP 1 and AP 2 test • • • • Planning on reviewing in class Good idea to get a review book like Princeton or Barron’s May also hold a couple of weekend practice sessions We will look at how the test is formatted, etc. AP Physics 2: review and the AP test • Projects, etc. • Bridge with popsicle sticks • Research / connections project (you choose the topics and investigate, demonstrating the physics involved) • Likely another engineering / design, build project After the AP tests • Get in groups of 3-4 people • One person write on paper, will turn this in. Anonymous or not • Spend about 2 minutes on each topics • Topic 1: Best topic(s) or part of AP Physics 1 • Topic 2: Something physics-y you saw or thought about outside of class last semester • Topic 3: What was good/bad about physics olympics? • Topic 4: AP Physics 2? Intriguing topics or looking forward to….. Reflections, etc.
