Giancoli Readings:
Chapter 13: Temperature and Kinetic Theory
All sections except: 13-6, 13-14, and 13-15
Read through and consider Conceptual Questions 1-27.
Chapter 14: Heat
All sections except: 14-3
You may skim 14-8, and 14-9
We won’t be using convection or radiation equations, but it is important to understand the 3 heat mechanisms conceptually. You will need the equation for conduction from 14-7.
Read through and consider Conceptual Questions 1 – 28.
Chapter 15: The Laws of Thermodynamics
All sections except: 15-3 and 15-12
You may skip 15-8, 15-9 and 15-10, but they are extremely interesting.
Read through and consider Conceptual Questions 1-22.
Giancoli Problems
Chapter 13: 9, 12, 15, 35, 37, 46, 48, 50, 52
Chapter 14: 32, 39, 41, 42
Questions 14, 15, 16, 19, 21, 23, 27, 28, and 30 are from calorimetry, and you don't need them for AP Physics but they make good review from Chemistry
Chapter 15: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
You do not have to read or do any problems associated with efficiency. We don't cover efficiency in AP Physics 2 - take engineering if you are interested in it.
