Important Notice About the Final Exam

The detailed solutions of the review sheet is now posted!!

• The Final Exam Review (Physics 111) Part 1 (The first four problems)
  
  
• The Final Exam Review (Physics 111) Part 2 (The last two problems)
  
  There are a few corrections for this quiz. For the answer of question 1, a=10.2 m/s^2 insted of 0.21. For the question 5, to solve it, you need the initial velocity, v0=10 m/s. For the answer of question 13, it is 1.27 times 10^-7, insted of 1.07 times 10^7. If you have a question on this, feel free to email me. (I already have posted the corrected one, but please make sure what you have.)

Important Notice About the Second Exam

Here is the information from Dr. Maung.
He implied to provide a formula sheet, but it maight be just writing on the board or something. The number of questions will be 8 to 10 so that you can finish within the time.

Now, I want to give you suggestions. For the items not marked, you should find the basic equations from the textbook, and make sure which parameter (constant) is which. For the items marked with (*), you should memorize the steps that I showed. Don't be rash during the exam. If you finished earlier, I recommend you go over the problems.

For the equilibrium of torques, please don't forget about signs of those. A clockwise torque is negative, and a counter clockwise one is positive. If there is an angle between the lever arm and force acting on the point, you have to take the angle into account (such as a ladder problem). I will be in my office earlier in the morning, if you need a last minute help, please stop by. I just want to say, "Good Luck!"
