Build confidence with AP Physics 2 practice. Explore the paper preview below and use the questions to identify the skills you want to strengthen.

SECTION I: MULTIPLE CHOICE (PART A & B)

Question 1-3 

1. "Cars A and B are moving in opposite directions along a straight road."

2. "A particle is moving along the y-axis."

3. "Two stones, represented in the figure above, are thrown from the same height with the same initial speed."

Question 4-6

"A car is traveling clockwise around a circular racetrack of radius 1440 m. When the car is at the northernmost point on the circle, as shown above, it has a speed of 36.0 m s and is slowing down at a rate of 1.20 m s2"

Question 7-8

"A car moves in a straight line along the x-axis. The velocity of the car v x as a function of time t is shown in the graph above. The position x of the car at t = 0 is x = 0"

Question 9

"Two blocks rest on a table, as shown above. The bottom block is pulled to the right by an applied force F that is strong enough so that the two blocks do not move together."

Question 10

"A sphere of mass m is dropped from the top of a building and reaches the ground before achieving terminal velocity."

Question 11-12

"An object of mass 0.5 kg is given an initial velocity and then slides across a horizontal surface"

Question 13-14

"Cart A is traveling east when it collides with cart B, which is traveling north."

Question 15-17

"A block of mass m is on a rough horizontal surface and is attached to a spring with spring constant k."

Question 18-19

"In the diagram above, a block of mass M is initially at rest on a horizontal surface at the base of an inclined plane."

Question 20

"The net force F acting on an object that moves along a straight line is given as a function of time t by F t ( ) = κt2 + τ , where κ = 1 N s2 and τ = 1 N"

Question 21

"Cart A of mass 2m is moving with velocity v to the right on a horizontal frictionless track, as shown above, when it collides with cart B of mass m."

Question 22

"A ball of mass m is dropped from rest at a height h and collides elastically with the floor, rebounding to its original height."

Question 23

"A sphere starts from rest at the top of a ramp, as shown above."

Question 24

"Two horizontal disks of mass M have the radii shown above."

Question 25

"A satellite is in a circular orbit such that it stays directly over the same point on Earth’s equator."

Question 26

"Spheres X, Y, and Z have the masses and locations indicated in the figure above."

Questions 27-28

"Two identical satellites orbit a planet of radius R in circular orbits A and C of radii 3R and 12R, respectively, as shown above."

Question 29

"At the surface of Earth, an object is suspended by two cords."

Question 30

"A space shuttle has a mass of 90,000 kg."

Question 31

"A pendulum and a spring both have a 1 kg sphere attached to their ends and have the same length when in equilibrium, as shown in the figure above."

Question 32-34

"Systems A and B contain identical ideal springs and identical blocks that can slide along a surface of negligible friction."

Question 35

"A 2.0 kg block is attached to a string that passes over a pulley and is attached to an ideal spring of spring constant k = 100 N m, as shown above."

SECTION II: FREE RESPONSE 

Question 1 

"A projectile is launched from the back of a cart of mass m that is held at rest, as shown above."

Question 2

"A thin uniform disk of mass M and radius R has a string wrapped around its edge and attached to the ceiling."

Question 3

"Three blocks are connected by strings that pass over pulleys of negligible mass."
