<p>hmmm your argument is very valid but im still confused as to the formula U = Q - W
:S, does this formula have no hold in this situation at all?</p>
<p>Guys, that was hard as hell haha. I finished practice tests with an average of 10 minutes left, but I couldn’t even finish the real thing in time. It might’ve been because I was under pressure and I was extra careful in making sure I filled in the right bubbles, but yeah haha, not good not good. What do you guys expect the curve to be? - how many for an 800? And - how many for a 750?</p>
<p>For the change in kinetic energy, they gave mass, acceleration, and displacement. I used kinematics to find Vf^2-Vo^2=2aΔx because the change in kinetic energy would be ΔKE=1/2m(Vf^2-Vo^2)=1/2m(2aΔx)=60J</p>
<p>Does anyone remember getting “0 m/s” for the velocity of the black traveling east after the collision? Also, does anyone remember the questions about the pendulum…?</p>
<p>yeah i got 0 m/s! since the momentum of the other block was the same as momentum before.</p>
<p>Tried to get rid of the repeats…</p>

<p>Wow I got quite a few right without actually knowing the physics behind it
See in South Africa, we’re so used to getting screwed over in government exams we’ve developed the ability to make extremely educated guesses…</p>
<p>Hello! I was just wanted to ask those who have taken the physics subject test, whether I would be prepared to take it in October, with some studying. </p>
<p>I have completed a regular Physics course this year, but there were a couple sections that we never went over (heat and thermodynamics, magnetism, optics (we went over waves a bit), and modern physics.) I’m fairly comfortable with Mechanics. So would I be prepared to take the physics subject test in October if I taught myself those sections?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, you would be prepared. I took a 1-year course this year that didn’t cover any of those extra topics you named, and I was fine for the test. The generous curve is there because the writers of the Physics test don’t expect everyone to have learned all those extra topics. Besides, they don’t show up as frequently as the topics you learned during your regular class, so just a little bit of review should leave you primed to nail the test in October.</p>
<p>question about a mercury thermometer and why it rises with heat. I think the answer was that the mercury expands faster than glass</p>
<p>
Thank you, evillion! That was really helpful. I looked up the reviews for the different prep books, and it looks like Barron’s and Kaplan’s were not as well liked as the Princeton Review. Any suggestions?</p>

What causes thermometer to work - Mercury expands faster than glass.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I used the Princeton Review one, which is excellent. However, it seemed to go too much into detail with complicated formulas that rarely show up on the test, so I would just read it for main ideas and vocabulary.</p>
<p>for the mercury question: </p>
<p>“Bulb thermometers follow the simple principle that liquids change their volumes relative to their temperature. As temperatures rise, the mercury-filled bulb expands into the capillary tube. Its rate of expansion is calibrated on the glass scale”</p>
<p>it rises cuz the volume coefficient is high or sumthing like that</p>
<p>Mercury rises because its coefficient of volume expansion is higher than that of the glass. The change in volume is higher for mercury; hence, mercury rises in the thermometer when heated.</p>
<p>I am cautiously looking for an 800, because I missed 9; I confirmed 8 wrong questions and 1 omitted ones.</p>
<p>What is the general minimum raw score (approximately) out of 75 that would give one an 800 for this test?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Usually anything >60 is an 800, but >63 almost guarantees an 800.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the question about the induced current in the loop, it was a I, II, and III question. Something like…
I.Placing a steady current next to the loop
II. Turning off the current
III. ??</p>
<p>I’m not sure what the 3rd one was, but I’m sure I chose an answer with 2 of them…</p>
