As an AP Physics B student, you should already be comfortable with the material covered in Unit 1 of First Year Physics.  This material will not be retaught in AP Physics.  In particular you may wish to review: graphing and curve fitting using the TI-83 or Excel, Accuracy vs. Precision, Significant Figures, and experimental error.  There are great resources on the Unit 1 page for First Year Physics.

The material on units was covered in the summer assignment.

Textbook Reference:  Physics, Cutnell & Johnson, 6th edition, Chapter 1, (pp. 1-7)

Homework Handouts: Summer Assignment

Textbook Work:

• Test Review problems 
• Conceptual Question: 1
• Problems: 1, 3 (optional)
• Problems: 4, 7 
• Challenge Problem: 10

Note: We will introduce vectors, but the remaining sections in Chapter 1 (1.4 through 1.7) will be covered in more detail later, closer to the time the material is needed for solving problems.
