Chapter 3 Review: Practice Test

Today we went over the practice test to review for your test first thing next week. Last time we did this I developed severe pain in my right shoulder from writing on the board all day (with arm straight up since I'm so short), so this time I made videos and showed those instead. We then answered specific questions when necessary.

Remember, points are given for showing your work as well as the final answer, so make sure to:

• show your equation BEFORE substituting numbers
• explicitly show what numbers are substituted where (including zeros)
• use proper units on answers

Here are the videos for the practice test free response problems:

#1: Find the time it takes a stone to reach the ground when it is thrown horizontally off a tower.

#2: Find the magnitude and direction of a vector given its components.

#3: Find maximum height and range of a projectile fired over flat ground.

#4: Find the range and final velocity of a diver.

#5: Find the velocity with which a ball rolls off a counter top given height of counter and range of ball.

#6: A centerfielder runs to catch a pop fly
