Quizbank/College Physics Sem 1



The enrollment key for each course is 123. They are all is set to practice mode, giving students unlimited attempts at each question. Instructors can also print out copies of the quiz for classroom use. If you have any problems leave a message at user talk:Guy vandegrift.

  • Quizbank now resides on MyOpenMath at https://www.myopenmath.com (although I hope Wikiversity can play an important role in helping students and teachers use these questions!)
  • At the moment, most of the physics questions have already been transferred. To see them, join myopenmath.com as a student, and "enroll" in one or both of the following courses:
    • Quizbank physics 1 (id 60675)
    • Quizbank physics 2 (id 61712)
    • Quizbank astronomy (id 63705)

This unit has 5 exams (tests) that can viewed by clicking the links (e.g., T1). They are classroom-ready exams based on the collection of quizzes shown below each exam. The fraction indicates the ratio of the number of questions randomly selected to the number of questions on each quiz. Students can access these quizzes using either the (uneditable) permalink or directly via links to subpages of QB. Students and instructors can also view all at /All. Ideas for use by instructors can be found at Quizbank/Instructions.

   Measured in radians,   defines angle (in radians), where s is arclength and r is radius. The circumference of a circle is   and the circle's area is   is its area. The surface area of a sphere is   and sphere's volume is  

    A vector can be expressed as,  , where  , and   are the x and y components. Alternative notation for the unit vectors   include   and  . An important vector is the displacement from the origin, with components are typically written without subscripts:  . The magnitude (or absolute value or norm) of a vector is is  , where the angle (or phase),  , obeys  , or (almost) equivalently,  . As with any function/inverse function pair, the tangent and arctangent are related by   where  . The arctangent is not a true function because it is multivalued, with  .

 

    The geometric interpretations of   and   are shown in the figure. Vector addition and subtraction can also be defined through the components:     AND

Two dimensional kinematics

Difference is denoted by  ,  , or the Delta.   or  . Average, or mean, is denoted by  , where   is number and   are probabilities. The average velocity is  , and the average acceleration is  , where   denotes position. In CALCULUS, instantaneous values are denoted by v(t)=dx/dt and a=dv/dt=d2x/dt2.

The equations of motion for uniform acceleration are:  , and,  . Also,  , and,  . Note that   only if the acceleration is uniform.

    ...in advanced notation this becomes  .

In free fall we often set, ax=0 and ay= -g. If angle is measured with respect to the x axis:

                         

 

The figure shows a Man moving relative to Train with velocity,  , where the velocity of the train relative to Earth is,   is the velocity of the Train relative to Earth. The velocity of the Man relative to Earth is,

       If the speeds are relativistic, define u=v/c where c is the speed of light, and this formula must be modified to:
