AP Physics 1 Dynamics & Newton's Laws Tutor
AP Physics 1 Dynamics (Unit 2–3) is where Newton's three laws are applied to increasingly complex systems. Free body diagrams, friction, tension, and circular motion problems are all heavily tested. Our tutors ensure you can tackle multi-body systems and circular motion with confidence.
Board: AP (Advanced Placement)
Topics Covered
- Newton's first, second and third laws
- Free body diagrams
- Friction (static and kinetic)
- Tension and normal force
- Inclined planes
- Atwood machines
- Circular motion and centripetal force
- Apparent weight
Exam Tips
- Tip 1:Always draw a free body diagram before writing Newton's second law
- Tip 2:In circular motion: net force = centripetal force (not an extra force)
- Tip 3:Third law pairs act on different objects — don't include both on one FBD
- Tip 4:For multi-body systems, treat as one system first, then solve for internal forces
