springboard physics

This is a comprehensive review of number sense and operations, algebra skills (including solving for a variable, evaluating expressions, and graphing), and some geometry, while also introducing some of the key equations for AP Physics 1.

This worksheet provides quite the comprehensive analysis of position-time graphs. There are 16 specific questions covering distance, displacement, speed, and velocity referencing for four different x-t graphs. This also serves as a great study guide for the linear motion unit.

This is part 3 of continuity and one-sided limits. I also included an additional example using the intermediate value theorem, which was introduced in part 2 of this set of notes. The assignment that appears on the solution key is based on our text book, 'Calculus' by Larson, 10e.

This is the other version of the worksheet that I use after a linear motion activity to reinforce the concepts of constant velocity produces a graph that has a steady slope, slope of a graph shows the speed, and the y-intercept shows where an object began moving with respect to a reference point (starting line). The worksheet has two x-t graphs, each of which has two linear curves representing two different objects. There are five questions associated with each graph.

On this worksheet (or quiz) the student is asked to interpret a short story about a student going from their house to the bus stop. It incorporates changes in speed and direction. The speed of the student is constant when in motion so knowledge of accelerated motion is not required. The student has to decide on the relative slope of line segments and where to plot certain points on the provided x-t graph to maintain consistency with the story.
