REVISIONS TO THE
AP PHYSICS 1 AND AP PHYSICS 2
EQUATION TABLES
The AP Physics 1 and AP Physics 2 equation tables that were previously published in the course and exam
description, curriculum modules, and practice exams are being revised to provide complete definitions of
symbols.
AP Physics 1
In the MECHANICS section:
“A = amplitude” was previously omitted from the list of definitions.
“y = height” replaces the previous “h = height” in the list of definitions.
AP Physics 2
In the MECHANICS section:
“A = amplitude” was previously omitted from the list of definitions.
“y = height” replaces the previous “h = height” in the list of definitions.
In the ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM section:
“  = dielectric constant” was previously omitted from the list of definitions.
Over the coming months, we will be updating the equation tables in the AP Physics 1 and AP Physics 2
Course and Exam Description, curriculum modules, and practice exams. We expect revised versions of
those documents to be available by February 2015. In the meantime, please disregard the equation
tables in the current versions of these publications. Instead, refer to these new, revised equation
table PDFs and share them with your students:
