Wouldn't this be fun?
Kidding. Good practice though, they are not all easy questions ... some of them do require Physics II stuff you haven't seen yet. Note 80% is considered a 'pass' by the Diesel Technician Society.
By the way: Moodle is now up to date, I spent quite a while grading over the break catching up. One thing I have noticed: the rate of missed (or partially missed) homework seems to be increasing ever so slightly lately. This is not shocking, being near the end of the term and all ... but be careful. It is not a large percentage of your grade, but the practice is crucial.
Finally: next week is the last week of advising. I am the undergraduate adviser for physics and astronomy. If you want/need to take more physics and astronomy courses, I'd be happy to talk with you about your options and give some friendly advice (that is, in addition to your regularly-scheduled advising sessions if you are not a physics major).

Physics Advising
This week begins the advising season for the F09 semester, which will continue through the week following spring break. If you are a physics major, thinking about a physics major, or plan on taking more physics in the near future, I would like to meet with you.
Individual meetings only take 15-30 minutes, please let me know if you are interested, and when you would have some time either this week or the week following spring break.
One new thing I should mention is our new seminar course, PH111. It is a 1-credit seminar course with no prerequisites, meeting once per week, and it is devoted entirely to discussing neat topics in physics at a completely introductory level. In the fall, it will meet on Mondays from 4-5:30. Anyone interested in physics is encouraged to take the course, it should be a lot of fun. A tentative syllabus can be found here.
Finally, I would like to point out that all physics majors are eligible for E. Scott Barr scholarships, and we could use some more applicants ... it is not too late to be considered for a fall scholarship! Details here.
