About this ebook
Solutions Manual For College Physics for AP® Courses 2nd Edition by Gregg Wolfe, Erika Gasper, John Stoke, et al. (published by OpenStax) covers the full breadth of an introductory, algebra-based college physics sequence. It is structured specifically to align with both the AP Physics 1 and AP Physics 2 curricula while providing supplemental material that goes beyond the core Advanced Placement exam boundaries. [1, 2]
The text spans 34 chapters categorized into the major foundational branches of physics:
Mechanics & Kinematics (AP Physics 1 Foundation)
  • Introduction: The nature of science, physics, physical quantities, units, and accuracy.
  • Kinematics: Linear displacement, velocity, acceleration, free-fall dynamics, and graphical analysis.
  • Two-Dimensional Kinematics: Vector addition/subtraction and projectile motion.
  • Dynamics: Force concepts, Newton's Laws of Motion, friction, drag, and elasticity.
  • Circular Motion & Gravitation: Centripetal acceleration, centripetal force, and Newton’s universal law of gravitation.
  • Work, Energy, & Power: Kinetic energy, potential energy, conservative vs. non-conservative forces, conservation of energy, and power.
  • Linear Momentum: Impulse, linear momentum, and elastic/inelastic collisions.
  • Rotational Motion: Torque, rotational kinematics, rotational inertia, and angular momentum.
  • Statics & Torque: Static equilibrium and simple machines. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
Fluids, Thermodynamics, & Kinetic Theory (AP Physics 2 Foundation)
  • Fluid Statics: Density, fluid pressure, Pascal's principle, and Archimedes' principle (buoyancy).
  • Fluid Dynamics: Flow rate, Bernoulli's equation, viscosity, and turbulence.
  • Thermodynamics & Temperature: Thermal expansion, the Ideal Gas Law, and kinetic theory.
  • Heat & Heat Transfer: Calorimetry, phase changes, conduction, convection, and radiation.
  • Laws of Thermodynamics: Heat engines, entropy, and thermodynamic processes. [1, 2, 3]
Waves, Acoustics, & Optics
  • Oscillations & Waves: Simple harmonic motion, period, frequency, and wave properties.
  • Physics of Hearing: Sound speed, sound intensity, Doppler effect, and acoustic resonance.
  • Geometric Optics: Reflection, refraction, Snell's law, mirrors, and lenses.
  • Vision & Optical Instruments: The human eye, microscopes, and telescopes.
  • Wave Optics: Interference, diffraction, polarization, and thin-film phenomena. [1, 2]
Electricity & Magnetism
  • Electric Charge & Field: Coulomb's Law, electric fields, and electrostatics.
  • Electric Potential & Energy: Potential energy, voltage, equipotential lines, and capacitors.
  • Electric Current & Resistance: Ohm's Law, DC circuits, alternating current, and electrical safety.
  • Circuits & Bioelectricity: Resistors in series/parallel, Kirchhoff's rules, and voltmeters/ammeters.
  • Magnetism: Magnetic fields, magnetic forces on moving charges/wires, and magnetic resonance.
  • Electromagnetic Induction: Faraday's Law, Lenz's Law, electromotive force (emf), and generators.
  • Electromagnetic Waves: The EM spectrum, Maxwell’s equations, and energy transport. [1, 2]
Modern, Quantum, & Nuclear Physics
  • Special Relativity: Time dilation, length contraction, relativistic momentum, and energy.
  • Quantum Physics: Photoelectric effect, photon momentum, wave-particle duality, and Bohr's model.
  • Atomic Physics: Electron shells, X-rays, lasers, and quantum mechanics principles.
  • Nuclear Physics: Radioactivity, nuclear binding energy, half-life, and radioactive decay.
  • Medical Applications: Ionizing radiation, radiation doses, fusion, fission, and nuclear imaging.
  • Particle Physics: Quarks, leptons, fundamental forces, and the Standard Model. [1, 2, 3]
