Don't know how AP got the scoop, but they're reporting that Obama's VP choice is Joe Biden. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26010055/ A good choice. He's definitely good in the "attack dog" roll.

Homework Statement Assuming you have a bow that behaves like a spring with a spring constant of 168 N/m and you pull it to a draw of 54 cm, to the nearest joule how much work do you perform? Homework Equations The force of a constant spring is f=-k(x) where x is the displacement and k...

I'm beginning my undergrad education this fall. I took AP Calculus in my junior year of high school. My school didn't offer any math after AP Calc and so I haven't done any calc for over a year. Does anyone know any good websites where I can go to review calculus concepts before I start college?

I know that smooth and cardiac muscle cells (myofibers) are connected to each other by gap junctions. How are skeletal muscle cells connected to each other (to transmit the AP)? Thanks, any responses appreciated

I'm going to be a senior in hs this fall and am still fretting over my schedule. It's either IB Chem or AP Comp Sci A. I can't take ap chem because i don't have space for the dbl pd class but ib covers most of it and with a little self-study (i have had friends who successfully done this...

While many in GD know me fairly well, I thought I'd make an introduction here, as next year I'll be taking AP Biology as a high school sophomore and know I'll be here A LOT.

Hey Everyone! I'm going to be a Junior in high school next year and I am wondering what math course to take. My school has a schedule where there is only 4 classes a day; but they all run longer. So you can get through a normal math class in half a year with just as much time in the class room...

Passing the AP Physics C Tests usually gives credit at college for a similar class. However, I was wondering, if I'm majoring in Physics and did pass the AP Physics C Tests, should I skip the classes in college and move on? Or would it be better to take the classes at a college anyway in order...

i need links to previous AP physics B test, mainly 1988 because my test is going to be stuff over that. anyone that can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

For a school project, I am going to visit a local summer program for abused children and am going to bring supplies for and guide them through several simple (elementary to middle school level) experiments and presentations.

My biology teacher has assigned us a post-AP project that must involve service to the community and science in some way. My group has decided to do a "science camp" over the summer with disadvantaged elementary and middle school children. We will attend summer programs for these kids and give...

What did people think? It may have been the hardest thing I've ever seen, and I am a very prolific calc and phys student. The E&M free response was very very ridiculous, especially #2 where you had to plug in different devices at the terminal and find the current in the parallel resistor. I...

I saw a thread recently started about the AP Calc test. So, is anyone else out there taking any of the AP physics tests (i.e. B or C)?

Hello. Well, it looks like I'm going to have to go back for another year of high school due to low marks. However, it is very boring and I regret not doing better because I know everything and far beyond all of the math, science, and english curricula. There were also some complications relating...

Alright, so I'm about to take the AP Calculus AB Test (the College Board one, of course), but I have a question: Am I allowed to have any Calculus applications on my calculator? (My calculator is a TI-84 Silver Edition Plus, and it is approved.) I have a Calculus application that can do several...

does anyone know where i can find ap cal and/or phyics multiple choice sections of past tests?? i really need them to study. please help

I'm looking for some useful calculator programs that I can use for my ap test on wednesday, however I'm having a hard time finding them. What is a good site to find calc programs? Namely I'm looking programs that can solve Newtons/Eulers method problems, mid-point/left/right/trap sums, or...

In preparations for the AP Physics B test, my physics teacher has assigned our class a previous years AP multiple choice section test. I've managed to work through 80% of it with little difficulty, I've just gotten to the questions where I have no clue to how to answer. If I am allowed, I am...

Hi, the AP test is approaching and I'm struggling with these two Calculus questions and need some guidance. If you can provide a general (or detailed if possible =)) explanation on how you solved the problem, or the strategy you used for the problem, I would be extremely grateful. Solving even...

I thinking of practicing AP Calc BC stuff somewhere on a forum where there is a thread that ppl post problems in and other members answer, kind of like testing each other, explaining, etc. If there isn't, and if I could make such a thread here, where would I be able to make this thread...
