PHYS 20300 Section 9W3

Final Exam

The final exam will be held on May 19th, 2025, 10:30 - 12:45 pm, in the classroom. It is a closed book, no notes exam, similar in format to the 3 midterms (i.e. a mix of short answer, multiple choice, and graphing questions). The standard formula sheet will be supplied. Scientific calculators are recommended. The library has some to borrow if you don't have one. Graphing calculators and other technologies are not permitted.

Topics will be:

• Intro & Math: 1.1-1.8
• 1d Kinematics: 2.1-2.7
• 2d Kinematics: 3.1-3.3
• Forces: 4.1-4.12
• Circles: 5.1-5.3, 5.5-5.7
• Work & Energy: 6.1-6.7
• Impulse & Momentum: 7.1-7.5
• Rotations: 8.1-8.7
• Torques: 9.1-9.5
• Oscillations: 10.1-10.4
• Fluids: 11.1-11.6
• Heat: 12.1-12.8

The test, like any good physics test, will contain some familiar problems as well as new situations you may have never seen before, and ask you to apply the techniques we've learned to these new systems.

Here is a final from a 20300 course several years ago.

Old Final and the solutions

Use it a practice exam. Give yourself two hours of alone time with it. Note: Our exam will of course be different questions.
