Hints for test II

• No sheet of equations.
• Constants will be provided.
• You must show the instructor an empty calculator memory before the test starts.
• Newton's laws (there are three!).
• Gravitational force or (Static) Electrical Force.
• Conservation of energy.
• Expect an incline-plane problem.
• Expect a problem with friction.
• Expect a conservation of energy problem, maybe two.
• Expect some kind of problem dealing with potential energy (escape velocity or atomic potentials for example).
• Be sure to review the homework problems, problems you did in class, examples in the book and worked problems in the student study guide.
• Possible bonus question include:
• Any interesting material from these chapters not covered in class.
• Questions over lab material.
• Fundamental forces.
• Numerical modeling (review the 2nd computer exercise).
• Terminal velocity.

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 years test not covered in previous years.
•  ALSO: Due to limitations with html formating, not all figures and equations are available..
• Fall 1996, test 2.
