1 Physics 5 Advanced Placement Syllabus Texts: John D. Cutnell and Kenneth W. Johnson: Physics 8 th Edition; Wiley Ackroyd, Anderson, Berg, and Martin: Physics (Alberta Edition); Pearson Course Direction AP Physics 5 ( Credits) is a continuation of Alberta Physics 20 and 0 which completes the curriculum requirements for AP Physics B. Credit for this course can be obtained at many institutions including Red Deer College, University of Alberta, University of Calgary, and the University of Lethbridge. After completing two semesters of Physics (180 classes of 85 minutes), this course completes Physics B with 85 minute blocks per week (Tuesday, Thursday, and one morning per week). 8 Classes (assuming that we can have one early morning class per week) Major Topic Chapter Chapter Title # Days Mechanics Review Chapter 2 Kinematics 1D 0.5 Mechanics Review Chapter Kinematics 2D Projectile Motion, Uniform Circular Motion Mechanics Review Chapter 4 Dynamics Newton s Laws, Gravity, Normal, Friction, Tension, Equilibrium Mechanics Chapter 5 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Dynamics of Circular Motion Rotational Kinematics (extra) Rotational Dynamics + Torque 4 Mechanics - Review Chapter 6 Work and Energy (+Power) 1 Mechanics - Review Chapter 7 Impulse and Momentum 1 Waves Optics - Review Chapter 10 Simple Harmonic Motion and Elasticity 0.5 Waves Optics - Review Chapter 16 Waves and Sound 0.5 Waves Optics - Review Chapter 17 Principle of Superposition (+Interference) 1 Fluids, Heat, Thermo Chapter 11 Fluids Pressue, Pascal s, Archimedes, Continuity, Bernoulli s Fluids, Heat, Thermo Chapter 12 Temperature and Heat Thermal expansion, internal energy, SHC, latent heat Fluids, Heat, Thermo Chapter 14 Ideal Gas Law and KMT 1

3 AP Physics Labs The following is a list of labs that have either been completed in the pre- requisite courses (Physics 20 and 0) or are potential labs in Physics 5. Based on the limited time many more labs will be done in Physics 20 and 0 than AP Physics 5. Experiment Source Displacement and Velocity Uniform Motion Analysis (Buggy Lab) Uniform Accelerated Motion Graphical Analysis (Lab Cart) Gravitational Acceleration (mass + timer or photogate) Lego Mindstorm 1+2 Dimensional Vectors (2- classes) Horizontal Projectile Motion Challenges with Inertia (includes demonstrations) Pearson Physics p.18 Relating Acceleration and Net Force Pearson Physics p Friction Acting on a Loonie Pearson Physics p.170 Relating Static Friction and the Normal Force Speed and Centripetal Force Conservation of Energy - Pendulum Determining the Spring Constant A Pendulum and Simple Harmonic Motion Ripple Tank (Reflection, Refraction, Diffraction, Interference) Speed of Sound in Closed Pipe Resonator Conservation of Momentum Explosions Carts Pearson Physics p Pearson Physics p Pearson Physics p.6-4 Pearson Physics p Observing Collinear Collisions Pearson Physics p.469 Linear Air Track Ballistic Pendulum Lab Two Dimensional Collision Lab Electroscopes, Van de Graff and Static Electricity Visualizing Electric Fields Visualizing Magnetic Fields Pearson Physics p.511, Motor Effect Pearson Physics p.606 Lenz s Law

Absences need to be verified in a timely manner with your TA. Without verification, any assignments collected or quizzes/tests written will be given a mark of zero. Extended holidays during scheduled classes disrupt learning and are strongly discouraged. It is your responsibility to contact a classmate when absent, ask them what was covered and if you can copy their notes and/or lab data. If possible, you should look at the assigned topic in the textbook and any assignments given to see if you can figure out the topic. If you turn in an assignment late, marks will be deducted until it is turned in unless prior arrangements are made. For small assignments we go over and collect in class you cannot get marks for it if you see the solutions. This may mean an excused or zero depending on the circumstances. If you know in advance that you are going to be absent please see me outside of class time to find out what you will miss. If you will miss a quiz or test we can make arrangements for a time that you can make them up. When absent, it is in your best interests to write any missed quizzes outside of class so as to not lose any more instructional time. It would be best if you could come in the morning with enough time to write it. On the day you return from an absence, any assignments due during your absence are to be handed in at the beginning of class. It is your responsibility to remember to turn them in. Assignments given during your absence will have a due date negotiated with me upon your return.

5 If you are having problems completing a particular assignment or lab on time you should come and see me before it is due. A few minutes before class starts are not enough time to provide help. Calculator Advanced Placement Physics emphasizes mathematical foundations of Physics principles requiring extensive calculations. A TI- 8 or TI- 84 graphing calculator is required. Evaluation Within the term: 100% quizzes 60% final (pre- ap) 20% (time dependant) assignments/labs 20%
