MOCK EXAM (FOR PRACTICE ONLY)
COURSE: ECOR 1048 CD
FACILITATOR NAME: Caitlin Farrell
It is most beneficial to you to write this mock midterm UNDER EXAM CONDITIONS. This means:
• Complete the midterm in 2 hours.
• Work on your own and attempt every question.
• Keep your notes and textbook closed.
After the time limit, go back over your work with a different colour or on a separate piece of paper and
try to do the questions you are unsure of. Record your ideas in the margins to remind yourself of what
you were thinking when you take it up at PASS.
The purpose of this mock exam is to give you practice answering questions in a timed setting and to help
you to gauge which aspects of the course content you know well, and which are in need of further
development and review. Use this mock exam as a learning tool in preparing for the actual exam.
Please note:

Complete the mock exam before attending the take-up session. During the session you can work
with other students to review your work.

Often, there is not enough time to review the entire exam in the PASS workshop. Decide which
questions you most want to review – the Facilitator may ask students to vote on which
questions they want to discuss in detail.

Facilitators will not distribute an answer key for mock exams. The Facilitator’s role is to help
students work together to compare and assess the answers they have. If you are not able to
attend the PASS workshop, you can work alone or with others in the class.

PASS worksheets are designed as a study aid only for use in PASS workshops. Worksheets may
contain errors, intentional or otherwise. It is up to the student to verify the information
contained within by attending the PASS workshop.
Good Luck writing the Mock Exam!!

1. The 11kg block has a velocity of 6.8 m/s when it is 3.1m away from the spring. If
the spring has a spring constant of 210 N/m and the surface has a coefficient of
kinetic friction of 0.3, determine the maximum compression of the spring.

2. The two blocks, A and B, have masses of 22kg and 38kg respectively. What will
the velocity of both blocks be after block B has fallen 4.5 m?

3. The 6.2 lb collar starts from rest at point A. If the spring constant is 4.5 ft/lb,
determine the velocity of the collar at point B. The first section of the track is a
quarter circle of radius 1 ft, and the second section is a line with a height of 1.5 ft.
The unstretched length of the spring is 0.75 ft.

4. The ball at A is launched from a catapult with a height of 4.3 m. The catapult is
19 ft away from the wall at point B, and it takes 2.1 s for the ball to reach point B.
a) What is the minimum height of the wall required for the ball to hit the top of the
wall when it is at the highest point in its trajectory?
b) What is the initial velocity of the ball at point A?

5. Blocks A and B have masses of 15.3 and 12 kg respectively. At the point where
s= 5 m, Block A has an initial velocity of 12.3 m/s towards block B. The
coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.42. The spring has a spring constant of 1200
N/m. The blocks have a coefficient of restitution of 0.7. Determine the maximum
compression of the spring.

6. The 98kg block is being pulled by the rope with a force of 340 N along the
smooth surface. The rope makes an angle of 30o with the horizontal. The pulley
is 7 m above the ground. The block starts from rest at horizontal distance 9.5 m
from the pulley. What is the velocity of the block when it has travelled 7 m to
point B?

7. The box starts at point A with a velocity of 43 m/s. Determine the velocity and
acceleration of the box when it reaches point B if 𝑣̇ = -(0.06s) m/s2.
