In preparations for the AP Physics B test, my physics teacher has assigned our class a previous years AP multiple choice section test. I've managed to work through 80% of it with little difficulty, I've just gotten to the questions where I have no clue to how to answer. If I am allowed, I am going to post the questions which I haven't been able to answer, verbatim. I'd appreciate it if anyone who knew the answer could please tell me the correct answer and how to arrive at it.Some of the questions are into to physics material, but most of them lay in the advanced physics. I would appreciate any help in this. :)
