    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
