This exam asesses course standards 17–25. If you can do the tasks described below, you will satisfy the standards on the exam.
Given incomplete information about the forces acting on a static body, deduce the unknown quantities.
Deduce the components of a body's weight parallel and perpendicular to an inclined surface that it contacts.
Determine the normal force between a body and an inclined surface that it contacts.
Determine the net force acting on a body on an inclined surface.
Deduce the motion of two bodies with different forces acting on them, but whose motions are constrained to be synchronized (e.g., the bodies are connected by contact or a cable).
Given one find the other two: the radius of a circle, its circumference, and its diameter.
Given one of the following characteristics of a repeating process, find the other two: period, angular speed, and frequency.
Given two of the following characteristics of motion with constant speed in a circular path, find the third: radius, speed, and period.
Convert angles between revolutions, degrees, and radians.
Convert angular speeds between revolutions per second, revolutions per minute, degrees per second, and radians per second.
Identify the direction of acceleration in uniform circular motion.
Find the magnitude of uniform circular motion given the radius and (speed or frequency or period or angular speed).
Although I have taught dot products, we have not gotten to cross products yet. (That will take a while.) So this standard will have to wait.
Given a force and the displacement over which it acts, calculate the work it does.
Given a body's mass and change in elevation, calculate the work done on it by gravity.
Given two, find the third: force, instantaneous velocity, instantaneous power.
Identify the name of the SI unit of work, and decompose it into m, kg, and s.
Identify the name of the SI unit of power, and decompose it into m, kg, and s.
Given the forces acting on a body and the body's displacement during a process, determine the net work done on it during the process.
Classify work as a vector or a scalar.
Identify the formula for work given force and displacement.
Given one, find the other: the work done on a body during a process, the body's change in kinetic energy during the process.
Given two, find the third: a body's speed, its mass, and its kinetic energy.
Given two, find the third: a body's mass, its elevation, and its gravitational potential energy.
Calculate the energy stored in a stretched or compressed spring.
Given two, find the third: the spring constant k of a spring, its extension or compression, and its elastic potential energy.
Given two, find the third: the spring constant k of a spring, its extension or compression, and its tension.
