PHYSICS 2010
Final Exam
Review Session
Note that this review is not covering everything.
Rather it is highlighting key points and concepts.
Information on Course Web Page
The final exam will cover material including Chapters 1-14; CAPA
homework assignments 1-15; All Lecture Material , and all Section labs
and assignments. Note that the exam is cumulative and there will not
be a disproportionate emphasis on the material since the 3rd midterm.
The exam will be 35-40 multiple choice questions. The exam is closed
book and closed notes. Calculators are allowed, but no sharing of
calculators. A formula sheet will be included with your exam, and a
preview of that identical sheet is linked here as a PDF file. There is no
need to print and bring this sheet as a copy will be included with the
exam. A practice exam and solutions are available on the course
CULearn page; you may ignore problem 37 on this exam.
The exam will be held on the west side of the Coors Event Center; your
seat assignments will be posted on CULearn.

Remember: A large part of what you’ll be expected to do is to apply
Newton’s Laws. You can’t just memorize and apply formulas.
Steps for Linear Motion:
1. Draw a free-body diagram identifying and labeling all forces.
2. Choose a coordinate system – typically with the forces pointing in the coordinate
directions (x,y) as much as possible.
3. Write down Newton’s 2nd law in each coordinate direction (typically), summing
the forces. The equation perpendicular to the direction of motion often allows
you to find the Normal Force, which is needed to determine the force of friction.
Σ Fx = max
Σ Fy = may
(for rectilinear motion)
If a force is not in a coordinate direction, you must find its components in the
coordinate directions.
4. If there is more than one mass, then Newton’s 2nd law may be needed for each
mass.

A moving van collides with a sports car in a
high-speed head-on collision. Crash!
M
F truck
F car
m
During the collision, the imposed forces cause the
truck and the car to undergo accelerations with
magnitudes atruck and acar. What is the relationship
between atruck and acar?
A) atruck > acar
B) acar > atruck
Newton’s Second Law: F = ma
C) atruck = acar
D) Indeterminate from information given.
Step 1: Draw a free-body diagram
Note that “Normal Force” is
always Perpendicular
(i.e. normal) to the surface.
Fg = mg
In this case, it is not in the
opposite direction to the
gravitational force.
Step 2: Choose a coordinate system
Fg = mg
y
x
We could choose our “usual” axes.
However, we know that we will have motion
in both the x and y directions.
If we pick these rotated axes, we know that
the acceleration along y must be zero.
Step 3: Write down the equations
Σ Fx = m ax , Σ Fy = m ay
Fg = mg
Problem:
Fg doesn’t point in a
coordinate direction.
Must break it into its
x- and y-components.

Chapter 5: Uniform Circular Motion with Gravity
Remember: A large part of what you’ll be expected to do is to apply
Newton’s Laws. You can’t just memorize and apply formulas.
Steps for Uniform Circular Motion:
1. Draw a free-body diagram identifying and labeling all forces.
2. Choose a coordinate system – one of the directions will point in the
radial direction. Others directions: tangent direction (T) or vertical (y).
3. Write down Newton’s 2nd law in each coordinate direction (typically),
summing the forces.
Σ FR = maR = mv2/r
Σ FT = maT (for uniform circular motion)
4. If there is more than one mass, then Newton’s 2nd law may be
needed for each mass.

For every case of uniform circular motion, there must
be a force directed towards the center.
We say there is a centripetal force. However, there is
always a specific force that is acting. There is no
“circle force”. Circular motion does not cause a force.

A rock of mass m is twirled on a
string in a horizontal plane.
The work done by the tension in the string on the rock is
T
A) Positive
B) Negative
C) Zero
The work done by the tension force
is zero, because the force of the
tension in the string is perpendicular
to the direction of the displacement:
W = F cos 90°= 0

A big ball of mass M = 10m and speed v strikes a small
ball of mass m at rest.
After the collision, could
the big ball come to a
complete stop and the
small ball take off with

A) Yes this can occur
B) No, because it violates
conservation of
momentum
