Question About AP Physics B Test

<p>Does the B test include torque and angular momentum? My PR book for the B and C tests says it’s only on the C test, but other books say it’s also on the B exam.</p>

<p>torque and angular momentum is only on C exam</p>

<p>whoah really?? That’s super annoying. Our teacher spent a good month with us on Torque and angular momentum for the b examm…</p>

<p>check on the collegeboard site?</p>

<p>Angular momentum is not on it, but torque is. I have seen many problems on past exams that involve balancing weights on a board…one actually involved a hanging fish.</p>

<p>Torque is IN Physics B from what I know. We spent time going over it and I believe the AP objectives say rotational equilibrium and such are in the course. And, you need torque for a lot of equilibrium questions.</p>

<p>Angular momentum is not on it but you need to know angular velocity and displacements apparently.</p>

<p>Yes, Stranger is right, you need torque, but most questions aren’t that complicated… balancing boards is pretty straight forward. You don’t need the angular kinematics like wf = wi + alpha<em>t. But you do need to know the definition of angular velocity v = r</em>w.</p>
