Ramp Problems in Physics 1 EXPLAINED | Inclined Planes, Forces & AP Questions

Ramp problems are one of the most tested topics in Physics 1, and they’re also where many students lose easy points.

In this video, I break down ramp (inclined plane) problems step-by-step, starting from the basics and building up to an AP Physics 1–level exam problem. If free-body diagrams, force components, or friction on ramps confuse you, this video will make everything click.

You’ll learn:
• How to draw correct free-body diagrams on ramps • How to resolve forces using sine and cosine
• When to apply Newton’s Laws vs. energy methods
• How friction changes ramp motion
• Common AP Physics 1 mistakes students make on inclined plane problems

This lesson is perfect if you’re:
• Taking AP Physics 1
• Studying for a physics test or final exam
• Struggling with inclined plane problems
• Learning forces, friction, and acceleration

Watch until the end for a full AP-style ramp problem walkthrough that ties everything together and shows you exactly how these questions are graded.
