Kinematics
This is the derivative equation for velocity
What is d/dt(x(t))?
This is the result of multiplying force by the distance it is applied along
What is work?
This is Fnet=ma's counterpart in rotation
torque(net)=I*alpha
Mr. Bowles's favorite phrase for what to do with an inclined plane's forces
What is "break it into components?"
What to write if a question states that something is not moving or is travelling at a constant velocity
What is "system is in equilibrium?"
This value is missing in the second fundamental kinematic, but is included in the other two fundamental kinematics
What is the final velocity?
This is the name of the answer to the usage of the Pythagorean theorem, otherwise known as the hypotenuse
What is the resultant?
These two oscillating trig functions are the basis for the ideas and equations of simple harmonic motion
What are sine and cosine?
The name of the 16th-century Spanish alter ego of Mr. Bowles
Who is Conquista-Bowles?
If you have no idea what else to write on a free-response question, write this phrase to potentially get some free points
What is F=ma?
These values must be constant in order to use the kinematic equations
What are forces/acceleration?
He was the famous 17th-century British scientist who created the law of the force exerted by a spring
Who is Robert Hooke?
A series of objects includes an object M=17 kg at x=4, m1=9 kg at x=-1, and m2=8 kg at x=-5. This is the location of the center of mass of these objects (3 sig figs)
What is 0.527 meters?
This team is Mr. Bowles's favorite international football/soccer national team
What is the Spanish National Football team?
The pass rate for Physics C: Mechanics last year (within 3% above or below)
What is 73%?
An object with an initial velocity of v=20 m/s starting at x=5 meters, and final velocity of v= 5 m/s ending at 20 meters experiences this magnitude of acceleration
What is 12.5 m/s^2?
An object of mass m=6 kg is on a ramp of theta=45 degrees with friction on Earth. The object is in equilibrium at a height of y = 4 meters. This is the value of the coefficient of friction
What is 1?
This is the equation for the moment of inertia of a solid sphere
What is (2/5)MR^2?
Mr. Bowles wanted to teach this subject instead of Physics at first
What is history?
You should repeat an experiment at least this many times on a lab-based question
What is 6 times?
An object of mass 4 kg is thrown on Earth, not at ground level, at an angle of 60 degrees. It travels with an initial velocity of 12 m/s and lands after 28 seconds, meaning it travels this far
How far is 168 meters?
An object of mass m=12 kg and initial velocity v=25 m/s is thrown at another object of mass m=7 kg and initial velocity v=4 m/s. After the collision, the 12kg mass is travelling at 8 m/s. This is the speed of the 7 kg object after the collision (3 sig figs)
What is 33.1 m/s?
An object 1 kg swings at the end of a rope that is 0.72 m long as a simple pendulum. At the bottom of the swing, the tension in the string is 12 N. The magnitude of centripetal acceleration at the bottom of the swing is equal to this (g=10)
a= 2 m/s^2
Mr. Bowles worked at these OCPS schools serving these roles
Ocoee, Edgewater, Apopka, Horizon Principal
Principal, Administrator, Testing Coordinator, Teacher
This is how many points a traditional lab-based question is worth on the AP exam
What is 10 points?
