AP Physics C students need to review physics concepts from their first year physics course, and learn vector multiplication over the summer before they start the course. There are two ways to multiply vectors: one way gives you a scalar and is thus called the scalar product; the other way gives you a vector and is thus called the vector product. There are videos to watch, and written homework to complete below. Please have these ready the first day of school.
Videos to Watch
Scalar (Dot) Product Example 1
Scalar (Dot) Product Example 2
Vector (Cross) Product Example 1
Vector (Cross) Product Example 2
Textbook Sections
Scalar Product - Chapter 7 Section 3
Vector Product - Chapter 11 Section 1
Written Homework
Juniors and 1st Year Students:
If you are taking AP Physics C as your first physics course, it is strongly recommended that you complete the on-line course provided by EdX entitled "On Ramp to AP Physics C." You are encouraged to work through this course, which is designed to take about 10-15 hours.
