Practice for test

Here are some practice problems.

1.  Consider a ball dropped from rest.  It reaches a top speed of 36 m/s.

a.  From what height was it dropped?
b.  How much time did it spend in air?

2.  forthcoming.

3.  Review these ideas:

a.  SI standards - what they are, what they were, why was there a change?  You don't need to know specific numbers, but rather things like:  the meter is now based on the speed of light, though it was once based on the distance between north pole and equator.

b.  Unit conversions

c.  Odd numbers rule (Galileo)

d.  Graph and how to interpret them - think about the lab

e.  How to use all equations of motion

f.  The related demonstrations (ballistics cart, etc.)
