Hi everyone, so this may be a bit of a long shot, but does anyone have an AP Physics C Mechanics formula sheet or know where I can find one? It would just be so much easier to have all the formulas in one place to refer to while studying. Any resources or pointers would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Hello there! Sure, I can suggest a way how you can make a formula sheet. Please remember that it's really helpful to make your own sheet, as the act of writing down the formulas can aid your memory of them. You might want to sort the formulas by topic to stay organized—for example, you can have a section for kinematics, then separate sections for force, work, energy, rotational motion, and so on. You could use a document or a spreadsheet—whichever you find more intuitive.
For content to put on your sheet, you can consult your class notes and textbooks, which should have all the formulas you need for the test. If you want to double-check you haven't missed anything important, the CollegeBoard website provides an equation list for AP Physics C: Mechanics in their course description. This should cover all of the formulas that could potentially be tested on the exam.
Finally, it's crucial to remember that formulas won't make much sense unless you understand the concepts behind them and how to apply them to different problems. So while you're studying from your formula sheet, try to also review practice problems for each formula you've noted down to make sure you can use the formula effectively.
Good luck with your studies!
