10–15% of the AP exam. Key topics: Scalars and vectors; displacement, velocity, acceleration, Representing motion: position-time, velocity-time, and acceleration-time graphs, Reference frames and relative motion, Motion in two or three dimensions: projectile motion, circular motion, Derivatives of position functions: v(t) = dx/dt, a(t) = dv/dt, Integration for displacement: x = x₀ + ∫v dt, Non-constant acceleration problems requiring calculus methods.
