Who took the AP Physics C exam today?

AI Thread Summary
The AP Physics C exam was perceived as significantly harder than practice tests, particularly in the free response section. Many students noted that the second and third free response questions were especially challenging and unlike previous years' questions. In contrast, the multiple choice section was considered manageable. There is concern among test-takers about achieving a passing score, with many feeling uncertain about their performance. Overall, the exam's difficulty has left students anxious about their results.

Sorry I didn't know where else to post this. But I thought that test was way harder than any of the practice tests I've taken. The free response, at least.

Agreed, after reviewing about 10 years worth of free response there was no situation that i can recall which was similar to the second and third free response. The multiple choice was not that difficult however.
 
I totally agree. The first one was not so bad, but the second and third FR were insane. I just hope I got as many multiple choice questions right as I felt like I did, otherwise there is no way I got a 3 or better.

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
