On this exam, please neglect any relativistic and/or quantum mechanical effects. If you don’t
know what those are, don’t worry, we are neglecting them! On all multiple choice questions,
choose the best answer in the context of what we have learned in Physics I.
On graphing and numerical questions (Parts B and C), show all work to receive credit.
IMPORTANT REMINDER FOR PARTS B AND C: You are allowed to use only the formulas
given with the exam and standard math (trigonometry, algebra, etc.). If you want to use a
formula not on the list, you must derive it using the formulas on the list and standard math.
