AP Physics 1 Flashcards & Study Guide
Algebra-based mechanics — kinematics, forces, energy, momentum, rotation, oscillations, and fluids.
This is the full AP Physics 1 deck that ships inside Blitz: 264 cards across 8 units, every one written from the College Board Course and Exam Description rather than from a generic textbook. A separate key-term reference defines the 113 AP Physics 1 terms the CED expects you to know cold.
Each unit below has its own page with sample questions and answers you can work through right here — no account, no download. Start with the unit you are shakiest on, or work straight down the list.

How to use this AP Physics 1 study guide
Answer before you read
Every unit page opens with real questions. Say your answer out loud first, then check it. Recognizing the right answer on a page feels like knowing it and is not the same thing.
Get the vocabulary down first
Most lost AP Physics 1 points come from a term you half-remembered. The key-term reference is the fastest way to close that gap, and it is free to read in full.
Then space it out
Cards you miss come back sooner, cards you nail come back later. That is what the app does with the rest of this deck once you have worked through the previews.

How should I study AP Physics 1?
Test yourself before you review. Pull up a unit, answer the sample questions from memory, and only then read the answer — retrieval beats re-reading. Learn the unit's key terms first so the questions have something to hook onto, then let spaced repetition in the app bring back whatever you missed, a little further apart each time you get it right.
