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:
- 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.
