Exam 1 will take place this Thursday during your normally-scheduled lab period. You will have approximately 90 minutes for the exam, but we will not be really strict on the time. (more details after the fold)
The exam will take place in the lab room, I was not able to book the lecture room at that time. So, just show up at the normal lab time & place on Thursday to take the exam.
The following sections will be covered on the exam (missing sections = not covered):
No springs, no circular motion (Wednesday's lecture), no relative motion. No new material presented Wednesday or Thursday will be on the exam.
The format of the exam will be (approximately) 6 problems (i.e., solving stuff, no multiple choice), you pick any 5 to solve. Put another way, I'll give you 6 problems, you can skip any one of them you like, they are all worth the same amount. To head off an obvious question: if you do all six, I will grade all six and try take the best 5. Your best bet if you do all six is to tell me which 5 you want me to grade though.
I will provide a formula sheet with all relevant constants and basic formulas (see earlier post), which should be sufficient to solve all problems. Additionally, you are allowed to bring in a single 8.5x11 inch sheet of paper with your own notes, formulas, etc. -- anything you want, really. Front and back sides are allowed, I will allow two sheets with only a single side if you prefer that. You are additionally allowed writing implements and a calculator (i.e., not a cell phone or any network-enabled device). You can feel free to program your calculator in arbitrary ways, however, just no internet or peer-to-peer communication of any kind.
I don't know if I can stress enough that you should not forget your calculator.
