Hints for Test I

• No sheet of equations.
• Constants will be provided.
• You must show the instructor an empty calculator memory before the test starts.
• Any interesting material from these chapters not covered in class and questions about the lab material are potential bonus questions:
• Any lab material.
• There will be an estimation and/or dimensional analysis problem.
• You should know how to add and subtract vectors.
• A projectile problem is very likely.
• Several problems involving acceleration and velocity in one and two dimensions are likely.
• A question about relativity will be on the test (formulas will be provided for relativity but you won't need them).
• An easy problem involving uniform circular motion will be on the test.
• The test will be similar to problems you have worked: You have several sets of problems to review from:
• Worked examples in the book.
• Boxed problems (worked out in the student study guide). These are very good to practice on.
• Homework and in-class problems problems. You may want to look at the homework solutions I have posted; even if you got a problem right the solutions may show you a short cut or clever trick.
• Past tests (see below).
• You may also wish to attempt other problems that were not assigned (see me if you get stuck).

Past tests.

• NOTE: From year to year we cover slightly different material so you may see things in past years that were not covered this year. Conversely you may see things on this year's test not covered in previous years.
• ALSO: Due to limitations with html formatting, not all figures and equations are available.
