Study Guide Overview
This study guide covers rotational motion for AP Physics 1, focusing on inertial reference frames, describing motion with key quantities (angular displacement, velocity, and acceleration), and the radian. It reviews the relationship between linear and rotational quantities, explains rotational kinematics equations, and provides practice questions with solutions covering multiple-choice and free-response formats. Emphasis is placed on understanding direction, units, and problem-solving strategies.
