As you may be aware, exam 1 is Monday during our usual class time in our usual classroom. While this is a 2 hour class period, I am designing it to be a 1 hour exam. You will have 2 hours if you need it, but if you finish in an hour (like I hope) you can just leave early.
Here are the sections from the textbook covered
- 1D motion (2.3-2.9)
- 2D motion (4.2-7)
- Force & motion (5.2-9, 6.2-3, 6.5)
There will be 6 problems in total, of which you must complete 4. If you do more than 4, I will grade them all and use the best 4 (but try to get 4 done well first). There will be a formula sheet provided with all the basic formulas and any numerical constants you will need, and you can bring in one sheet of 8.5x11in paper of your own with notes, etc. What you put on the one sheet you bring in is entirely up to you, and you can use the front & back of the sheet.
There will be heavy partial credit on the exam, so show all your work and be as clear as possible about what you are trying to do.
Good things to study? Old homework and exams, and the homework problems I've given you so far. The exam questions will be easier than the homework I've given you, so don't worry too much. Doing the example problems in the book, or the odd numbered end of chapter problems is also good (so you can see the answer when you're done).
I'll be posting HW2 solutions shortly.
