The College Board
The College Board is a mission-driven not-for-profit organization that connects
students to college success and opportunity. Founded in 1900, the College Board
was created to expand access to higher education. Today, the membership
association is made up of over 6,000 of the world¡¯s leading educational institutions
and is dedicated to promoting excellence and equity in education. Each year, the
College Board helps more than seven million students prepare for a successful
transition to college through programs and services in college readiness and
college success ¡ª including the SAT? and the Advanced Placement Program?. The
organization also serves the education community through research and advocacy
on behalf of students, educators, and schools. For further information, visit

AP Equity and Access Policy
The College Board strongly encourages educators to make equitable access a
guiding principle for their AP programs by giving all willing and academically
prepared students the opportunity to participate in AP. We encourage the
elimination of barriers that restrict access to AP for students from ethnic, racial, and
socioeconomic groups that have been traditionally underserved. Schools should
make every effort to ensure their AP classes reflect the diversity of their student
population. The College Board also believes that all students should have access
to academically challenging course work before they enroll in AP classes, which
can prepare them for AP success. It is only through a commitment to equitable
preparation and access that true equity and excellence can be achieved.

Sample Questions
AP Physics 1 and AP Physics 2 Exams
Introduction
These sample exam questions were originally included in the AP Physics 1:
Algebra-Based and AP Physics 2: Algebra-Based Curriculum Framework, published
in fall 2012. The AP Physics 1 and 2 Course and Exam Description, which is out
now, includes that curriculum framework, along with a new, unique set of exam
questions. Because we want teachers to have access to all available questions
that support the new exam, we are making those from the fall 2012 curriculum
framework available in this supplementary document.
The sample exam questions illustrate the relationship between the curriculum
framework and the redesigned AP Physics 1 and 2 Exam, and they serve as
examples of the types of questions that appear on the exam.
Each question is followed by the targeted learning objective(s) from the curriculum
framework. These sample questions help illustrate how the learning objectives for
both courses are assessed. For multiple-choice questions, the correct answer is
provided.

1. Two solid spheres of radius R made of the same type of steel are placed in contact, as shown in
the figures above. The magnitude of the gravitational force that they exert on each other is F1.
When two other solid spheres of radius 3R made of this steel are placed in contact, what is the
magnitude of the gravitational force that they exert on each other?
(A) F1
(B) 3F1
(C) 9F1
(D) 81F1
Answer: D
Targeted Learning Objective:
Learning Objective (3.C.1.1): The student is able to use Newton¡¯s law of gravitation to calculate the
gravitational force the two objects exert on each other and use that force in contexts other than
orbital motion. [See Science Practice 2.2]
