AP Physics 1: Unit 4 FRQ 3: AP CLASSROOM PROGRESS CHECK FRQ's

Title: ⚖️ AP Physics 1: Finding Unknown Masses with Momentum & Graphs! 📊🚀 Description: What do you do when you have a mystery mass and just two photogates? 🕵️‍♂️ In this Unit 4 FRQ 3 challenge, we take on the task of determining unknown masses using smart experimental design, momentum conservation, and linear graphs! 🔬📈 First, we’ll walk through how to design a clean experiment using two blocks, one with known mass, and track their motion to figure out the unknown mass. Then, we level up! 💥 Using a spring-loaded collision setup and a whole collection of identical blocks, we analyze how changing mass affects velocity—and how to graph that data to extract real values. 🧠💡 We’ll cover: 🧪 Setting up reliable data collection with photogates ⚡ Applying conservation of momentum 📉 Creating linear relationships from experimental data ✅ Using best-fit lines to calculate unknown quantities Let’s graph it, calculate it, and conquer it—FRQ style! 📏🧲 🔔 Like & Subscribe for more AP Physics problem breakdowns!
