AP Practice Problems for Thermo

In case you were absent or lost yours, here is the sheet with the two AP Practice Problems for fluids/thermo. 


https://sites.google.com/site/dandradeedusite/Home/ap-physics-class-files


"AP Physics - Heat-Thermo review problems.doc"


Don't forget, there are also a bunch of review packets on that site for you to use as you prepare for the AP test.  (example "AP Physics - Thermo Review Packet.pdf")











Heat/Fluids/Thermo online labs and AP Practice problems

Got to the following sites and follow instructions.

http://www.7stones.com/Homepage/Publisher/Thermo1.html
Change volume, E, and molecules and observe what happens



Run simulation, change variables and observe what happens
Read directions and do all 7 experiments



When done, come up and get the two practice AP Problems which are due next class.
