AP Physics C: Equations to Memorize (Mechanics)

The video tutorial covers essential topics for the AP Physics C Mechanics exam, emphasizing the importance of understanding over memorization. It discusses key equations not on the exam sheet, work-energy principles, conservation laws, momentum, mass density, angular motion, and simple harmonic motion. The instructor advises against memorizing certain constants and equations, instead suggesting familiarity with provided exam resources. The video also highlights the importance of knowing how to derive equations and understanding key physics concepts.

Discuss the importance of understanding the relationship between angular position and arc length.

What are the two equations for resistive force, and why should they not be memorized?

What is the significance of Kepler's third law in the context of orbital mechanics?

Explain how the moment of inertia varies with the shape of an object.
