Exam III

As it turns out, you have an exam one week from today. The format will be much like the last exam - you will have a choice of problems (e.g., solve 5 out of 8), you can bring a formula sheet, you have 2 hours.

The exam difficulty will be somewhere between the homework problems and the example problems in the book (see below) - not as difficult as the homework (though similar to the non-bastard problems), but harder than the example problems. More details, including sample problems, will follow.

The topics covered are:

• 10.6-10 Rotation
• 11.2-4,6-11 Rolling motion, Angular momentum, torque
• 13.2-8 Gravitation (excluding central force laws, only the stuff in the text)
• 15.2-9 Oscillations and simple harmonic motion
• 16.2-8 Waves, pt. 1

Basically, chapters 10, 11, 13, 15, and 16, but not all sections are included. Owing to Honor's day this Friday (no class!), there will not be much time for review. Studying the homework solutions and example problems in the text will serve you well. I'll be online most of the weekend and available Monday before the exam (13 April) most of the day for questions.

There will be roughly 2 questions from each from:

• Ch. 10-11
• Ch. 13
• Ch. 15
• Ch. 16

If you have been understanding the homework problems, you will probably be fine.
