The Official AP Physics C Thread

<p>Yea, I think I will memorize all the other E/M formulas just to make it easier for me tomorrow…
I’m wondering just how late I should stay up…</p>

<p>good luck on the physics exam everyone!!! :D</p>

<p>OMG I’M GOING TO FAIL IN LESS THAN 6 HOURS.</p>

<p>//end *****ing</p>

<p>Good luck to all!</p>

<p>An inside joke in my physics class refers to Gauss’s law for electric flux. When you don’t know the answer, put:</p>

<p>“S(E-da)= Q/Eo” in HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE letters</p>

<p>yea, good luck everyome</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure I’ll do well on the MC, but I’ll pretty much bomb the response problems.</p>

<p>mm. Good luck guys/hope you won’t need it.</p>

<p>Anyone knows how to do this problem ??</p>

<p>There is a pulley of radius R1 and rotational inertia I1. The cord is tied into a loop, which passed the the pulley and a 2nd pulley of radius 2R1 and rotational inertia of 16I1. The axis of the 1st pulley is attached to a motor that rotates at angular speed w1 which in turn causes the larger pulley to rotate. Determine the angular speed w2 or the larger pulley</p>

<p>The horror that is mechanics begins in a little less than two hours…and yes I am ****ed like everyone else…good luck to all!</p>

<p>For the pulley one, I’m not sure but that could be conservation of angular momentum </p>

<p>I don’t know if I understand the problem completely (I just noticed that the motor is not directly tied to it). So the loop goes around the smaller one. Hmmm,</p>

<p>7:10 is too early for physics I just woke up.</p>

<p>Wow…I am so screwed for E/M…
MEch not so much
gl hf</p>

<p>I think that if you stay leveled headed you should probably get a 5. I don’t think its best to worry.</p>

<p>umm, excuse me? Mecanics part 2s? What the heck? At the first break my entire class was like “craaaap.”
That was harder than any practice test out there. Oh well, besides that I think I did ok. E&M part 2s were straightforward enough.</p>

<p>Ok…yea.
Easily the weirdest exams of all.</p>

<p>Mech #2 was ridiculous…seriously what on earth was that (can’t discuss until 48 hrs so I’ll leave it at that).
I did kinda as I was expecting to do…hoping to get a 4.
Also, I hope you all failed so the curve goes low.
Please tell me you all did horrible.</p>

<p>I’m not kidding, they screwed us over. 2008’s test had fairly straightforward problems on it and now we get bombed with crazy stuff like this?
This curve NEEDS to be low.</p>

<p>Mech:
MC was pretty easy
FR #1 - I ran out of time to think about the graphs but think I got all the other points
FR #2 - I actually think I did this problem right.
FR #3 - Short on time on this problem, but I’m sure I atleast got half of the points or so.</p>

<p>E/M:
MC really straightforward
FR #1 - Not too bad
FR #2 and #3 - ■■■
I started self-studying E/M during Spring Break and ran out of time with learning the magnetism crap so I’ll be really lucky if I get a 3. Hopefully some of my bsing using the equation sheet got some points.</p>

<p>You did well on Mechanics though, thats great lol.
I did horrible on Mechanics, fairly fine on E&M.</p>

<p>100% sure that I’m getting a 4 on E&M,
50% sure that I’m getting a 4 on Mechanics (yea thats how unprepared I was).</p>

<p>Seriously, compare this to the 2007/2008 test.
The problems are pretty crazy, I must say.</p>

<p>Yeah, mechanics MC was slightly ridiculous, and the mech FRQ was absolutely horrendously ridiculous. My entire class (all 5s, literally, on 2 full old practice exams we took in class) agreed that it was the most difficult set of questions we’d ever seen. So for those of you expecting a really nice curve, chances are high everybody else was in the same boat and “failed”.</p>

<p>E&M was standard expected difficulty (if not slightly easier). I still messed it up slightly though, but we’ll see.</p>

<p>Mech was terrible. I really feel like my proctor cut us short on the MC, it went by soooooooo fast. Then theres the frqs which were just stupid. Probably looking at a 4. E&M was easier all around, probably a 5.</p>

<p>Yeah, that was imbalanced.
I just about finished the Mechanics MC on time (random quick logical guesses near the end) and had 10 mins remaining after I finished the E&M MC…</p>

<p>I’m still annoyed at Mechanics # 2.</p>

<p>Yeah, well i just failed my mechanics test. the frqs were SO HARD! I just started writing messages and doodling. The first one was legit but then the second one, *** was that? i think i will be taking the class again in college. :(</p>
