2016 #2 Free Response Question - AP Physics 1 - Exam Solution

The video tutorial covers a problem from the 2016 AP Physics exam, focusing on a toy ball's elastic collisions. It guides students through designing an experiment to test a hypothesis about the ball's behavior at different speeds, emphasizing the importance of careful data representation and analysis. The tutorial also highlights common grading pitfalls and stresses the need for clear explanations in exam responses.

What is the student's hypothesis regarding the collisions of the toy ball with hard surfaces?

Describe the experiment designed to test the student's hypothesis about the toy ball's collisions.

What quantities would need to be measured in the experiment?

Explain the procedure to be used to test the student's hypothesis.

How would you represent the data collected in the experiment?

What does a linear relationship in the graph indicate about the collision of the ball?

Identify one physics principle that may appear to be violated based on the experiment's results.
