Energy & Momentum
AP Physics 1 Energy & Momentum Tutor
Energy and Momentum are two of the most powerful concepts in AP Physics 1. Conservation laws appear in both multiple-choice and free-response questions. Our tutors help you recognise when to apply which conservation principle and how to structure your explanations for maximum marks.
Board: AP (Advanced Placement)
Topics Covered
- Work and work-energy theorem
- Kinetic and potential energy
- Conservation of mechanical energy
- Power
- Linear momentum and impulse
- Conservation of momentum
- Elastic and inelastic collisions
- Center of mass motion
Exam Tips
- Tip 1:Use energy conservation when forces are conservative and no friction
- Tip 2:Impulse = change in momentum: J = Δp = FΔt
- Tip 3:In elastic collisions: both KE and momentum are conserved
- Tip 4:For FRQ on collisions: always state what conservation law you are applying and why
