On quizzes and tests, you may use the same page of equations and constants as will be provided when you take the AP Physics B exam in May. The link to these equations is below.  Download and print the entire set.  Then you can keep it in your notebook for use throughout the year. Take time to look over the pages now to see what information you will be provided. When you solve free-response problems on quizzes and tests, you may only use these equations as starting points for solutions. You must derive any other equations that you need.

In addition to the equations above, you're allowed to use a calculator on quizzes and tests. We should point out that for the AP Physics B exam, you're allowed to use a calculator and the provided sheet of equations and constants for the free-response portion of the exam.  However, you're not allowed to use these materials on the multiple-choice section of the exam.  Therefore, it's important to know the fundamental equations from memory by the time May comes around.  Practice in using the equations is the best way to commit them to memory.  They become second nature to you.

Approved equations and constants for use on quizzes and tests

Be aware that there are some differences in symbols and conventions between the College Board equation sheet and the equations used in your textbook. We recommend that you make an equation-by-equation comparison in advance of quizzes and tests.
