Physics 11 Study Guide for the Midterm Exam


We have completed a number of topics so far. They include:

  • 1.5: Analysis of Straight-line D vs. T Graphs.

  • 2.1: Analysis of Velocity-Time Graphs

  • 2.2: Moving from Velocity-Time to Distance-Time

  • 2.4: Using Equations to Solve Problems

  • Conceptual Questions (pg68):#1, #3, #4 (hint: Acceleration occurs when there is a net force)

  • 4.2: Newton's Second Law

  • 4.3: Free Body Diagrams

  • 4.4: FBD's in Two Dimensions #44 only

  • Conceptual Questions (pg149): #1, #2, #8

  • 5.3: Calculations Involving the Force of Gravity

  • 5.4: The Normal Force

  • 5.5: Friction (This is my favorite topic so far...be prepared!)

  • 5.6: Springs (Surprisingly few questions from you here...hummm...did anyone do the homework?)

  • Conceptual Questions (pg186): #3, #6, #19 (look this one up), and any others that may have appeared in our work.

  • 10.1: Introduction to Waves

  • 10.2: The Wave Equation



You will be given a formula sheet with constants and prefixes. Be sure to bring a CALCULATOR and a RULER. I will not be able to provide you with these once you're at the exam. Study well. When we return to school I will give you time to study and work on your labs (Due November 20).
