I've REALLY been trying to grasp physics, but I just don't think my brain is wired to think that way.. I'm much more of a Humanities person, haha. BUT, I do think certain aspects of the class are interesting and I really want to do well on the exam in May. I've got the College Board FRQ's printed out already, but I've noticed that my teacher gives us homework from tests from the 70's, 80's, and 90's. Where can I find only the Free Response sections of those tests? I want to get as much practice in as possible!
Thank you so much!

They're pretty hard to find. What i can tell you do is go out to Barnes and Nobels and buy an Ap Physics book with lots of exercises that way you'll get to know how to handle all kinds of problems.
 
So.. is it even possible for me to find them??
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
