Component Content Weighting Duration
Section II (Free Response) 4: math / representation / experiment / qualitative 50% 95 min
Section I (Multiple Choice) 42: discrete + sets 50% 85 min

AP Physics 1 drilling technique: v = u + at and s = ut + 0.5at^2 for kinematics; F = ma for Newton’s second law; free fall is mass-independent. Show formula, substitution and units.

How this paper was built

This is a TutorZone original drilling mock: the questions follow the College Board AP Physics 1 format and the answers are our own, not College Board past papers or marking references.

Every numeric answer was recomputed programmatically.

Note before you start: this is not a College Board past paper. Your score is a practice score and cannot be converted into an AP score (1-5).

Pacing

Section Marks Suggested time What to do first
Section II (Free Response) 50% about 24 min per question write formula, substitute, units
Section I (Multiple Choice) 50% about 2 min per question graphs and qualitative reasoning

Which object lands first in free fall?

Direct answer: they land together – g is independent of mass (ignoring air resistance).

04

Drilling (6 demonstrated)

Demonstrates kinematics, Newton’s laws, kinetic energy, free fall, centre of mass and momentum.

Question 1 (8 marks)

An object accelerates from rest at 3 m/s^2 for 4 s. Find the final velocity and displacement.

Question 2 (8 marks)

A 2.5 kg object accelerates at 4 m/s^2. Find the net force.

Question 3 (8 marks)

A 2 kg object moves at 3 m/s. Find its kinetic energy.

Question 4 (8 marks)

From the same height, which lands first in free fall: a heavy or a light object? Explain.

Question 5 (8 marks)

Explain the difference between centre of mass and centre of gravity.

Question 6 (8 marks)

Explain conservation of momentum.

What is conservation of momentum?

Direct answer: with no external force, a system’s total momentum stays constant.

05

Answers and marks per question

Question 1

v = u + at = 0 + 3×4 = 12 m/s (4); s = ut + 0.5at^2 = 0 + 0.5x3x16 = 24 m (4).

Question 2

F = ma = 2.5 x 4 = 10 N (8).

Question 3

KE = 0.5mv^2 = 0.5 x 2 x 9 = 9 J (8).

Question 4

They land together (4); g is independent of mass, ignoring air resistance (4).

Question 5

Centre of mass is the average position of the mass (4); centre of gravity is where the net weight acts, coinciding in a uniform field (4).

Question 6

With no external force, a system’s total momentum is constant (4); e.g. total momentum before and after a collision is equal (4).

Which topics does this paper drill?

Direct answer: kinematics, Newton’s second law, kinetic energy, free fall, centre of mass/gravity, conservation of momentum.

06

Where these marks are usually lost

Mistake What it looks like What it costs Instead
Kinematics no units Just 12 Write 12 m/s v=12 m/s, s=24 m
Free fall by weight Heavier first g is mass-independent land together
No formula shown Answer only Write formula, substitution, units v=u+at in three layers
07

How to use this paper

First drill: all 6 questions with no references.

Mark it: check the three-layer working and units.

Second drill: redo three to seven days later, aiming for a faster finish.

What should I do after drilling this paper?

Direct answer: log answers missing formulas or units; redo in three to seven days; and drill the multiple-choice sets.

08
