AP Physics 1: being able to say why, not just compute

Type a law and its condition into the box above and it becomes a card you have to answer. WeSolve+ is best for an AP Physics 1 student who can push numbers through an equation but cannot state the condition that made the equation legal in the first place.

This course wants justification in words, and words respond to being asked for. The source is whatever file you hand it, so the emphasis stays your class's.

WeSolve+ reads the whole document and writes the questions for you

Upload your PDF, photograph your notebook, or point the camera. WeSolve+ writes questions from that material, explains why each answer is right, reads the chapter back to you as a podcast, and remembers every item you missed until you own it.

Start free!

The tool below is a small browser-only tool and it is not WeSolve+: paste a few lines and text rules turn them into cards on the spot. The real app, the one that uses AI, is behind the link above.

Turn your physics notes into cards

This is a browser-only tool, and that is all it isIt splits the text you paste by rule, and nothing else. WeSolve+ is a different thing entirely: it reads your whole PDF with AI, writes the reasoning behind every question, speaks the chapter back to you, and remembers what you missed so it can return it. Try the real app now, free!

Text rules, not AI. Lines with a colon become two sided cards; other lines lose their longest word. Nothing you paste leaves the browser. Copy gives tab separated rows for Anki.

The written justification is a separate skill

A correct number with no reasoning attached scores badly here, and a student who has only ever practised computation discovers that in the exam room. Saying that momentum is conserved because no external impulse acted on the system is a sentence, and sentences are learned the way vocabulary is learned: by being asked for them. That is exactly what the box at the top of this page produces from your own notes, and what the app produces at greater depth from a file.

Mechanical energy is conserved when no non conservative force does work. Kinematic equations with constant acceleration stop applying the moment acceleration changes. Almost every wrong answer in this course is a right equation used outside its fence. Those fences are short statements sitting in your notes, rarely revisited, and they are the highest value thing on the page to turn into questions.

Lab work you will otherwise never open again

The lab you did in November contains the graph you drew, the systematic error you identified and the reason your value came out low. None of that appears in a review book because that lab was yours. Photograph the write up or upload the file and the app builds questions from it: what the slope represented, what would change with a heavier cart, why the intercept was not zero. Those are the questions the exam asks in a different costume.

Free body diagrams and the limits of a text question

Some physics is genuinely visual, and a generated question that says see the figure is worthless when the figure is not there. Questions are built to be answerable from text alone, which means the app will turn your notes into a question about which forces act and in what direction, but it will not fake a diagram it cannot show you. Knowing where a tool stops is more useful than a tool that pretends it does not stop.

The exam format belongs to the College Board

You will not find the number of questions, the time allowed or the split between multiple choice and free response on this page. That information is published by the awarding body on the pages linked below and it changes. Physics students in particular budget their revision by section weight, so a stale number here would do real damage, and a study page is read by exactly the people least able to check it against the source.

What it costs to try

The tool above runs inside the browser tab and contacts nothing, so it is free, has no account and no limit. A lab write up needs the app rather than this box. Find it at wesolveapp.com or in the App Store for iPhone and iPad, free at the start, allowing two quizzes and two uploads each day, two recaps each week, two duels each day, with no ceiling on cards from a single file. Android runs on the site.

Can it ask me to justify an answer in words?

It builds questions from the wording in your material, so if your notes contain the justification, the generated items ask for it. The app adds a short reason under each answer, which is the part you compare your own wording against.

What about questions that need a diagram?

They are not generated. Every question is built to be answerable from text alone, because a question referring to a figure you cannot see is a question you cannot answer.

Can it use my lab reports?

Yes, as a PDF, a photograph or a camera shot. Questions then come from your own graph, your own sources of error and your own conclusion.

Where is the exam format?

On the College Board pages linked below. We do not restate section counts or weights here, because they belong to the awarding body and change between cycles.

Does anything I paste in the box get uploaded?

No. It is a script on this page and makes no network request, which you can confirm in the network tab while typing.
