AP Physics Featured Question

by Greg Jacobs
Woodberry Forest School
Woodberry, Virginia

The AP Physics Featured Question is designed to enhance conceptual understanding of topics in AP Physics. The more recent questions were written by Greg Jacobs, who teaches AP Physics B and C at Woodberry Forest School in central Virginia. He is a graduate of Haverford College, and has a master's degree in engineering from Northwestern University. He is a Reader and consultant for the College Board's AP Physics program.

Nine questions were written by David Castro, who taught AP Physics (B and C), AP Calculus (AB and BC), and AP U.S. and European History in a teaching career spanning 14 years, including 5 years as a master AP Physics teacher. Castro recently joined the Charles A. Dana Center at the University of Texas, where he continues to focus on providing support for science educators. He also serves as a Reader for AP Physics.
