<p>Yeah, you're right, pample. The critical thinking wasn't a problem - that's not something you can learn from a class, you either can or you can't. But the sheer amount of information that we didn't even cover was what hurt me. We didn't even get to current and a lot of the other information there. Like the Quasar one, for example. Presumably they think you learned about light-years in Physics. We never did. Luckily, I took Advanced Astronomy, so I still got it right. ;)</p>

<p>But it made me wish even more than I already did that my school offered an AP Physics, or even an Honors Physics. :(</p>

82

<p>graph 1 = particle going towards the middle
graph 2 = particle going around a circle half way (180deg), forming a semicircle arc
graph 3 = particle going all the way around the circle and stopping right behind where it started</p>

<p>Q1: Which graph(s) do the most work?
Q2: Which graph(s) do no work?
Q3: Where is the electric potential? or something like that the greatest</p>

83

<p>Q1: I only
Q2: II and III only
Q3: I only</p>

84

<p>How about the errors question? (with +-3 and +-2 errors each) What was the answer?</p>

85

<p>Nevermind.</p>

86

<p>what do you mean 'Nevermind.'?, Acar123?</p>

87

<p>could anyone also remember the wordings of the glass prism question? i think i put angle of incidence. btw, what were the other answer choices? intensity, frequency, angle of incidence,......ARGHH this test was hard.</p>

88

<p>btw, prism question confirmed: "The refractive index (or index of refraction) of a medium is a measure for how much the speed of light (or other waves such as sound waves) is reduced. "</p>

89

<p>bump bump. people plz reply and discuss!</p>

90

<p>for orbiting at a farther radius... i put decrease speed of satellite (i had something v = square root (GMearth/r) from mv^2/r = GMm/r^2...)</p>

<p>how about for the flag on the bicycle going north with a wind from the east. does it look like its southwest?</p>

91

<p>For the flag and bicycle one, yes.</p>

92

<p>hey an0nym0us, or anyone else who remember the test, do you remember the question's wordings and the answer choices? THANKS!</p>

93

<p>(i mean the satellite question which an0nym0us mentioned in the previous page)</p>

94

<p>what was the diagram with an elliptical orbit. was the velocity tangent and the acceleration pointed towards the planet (and not the center)?</p>

95

<p>I never learned about that, I have always learned of uniform circular motion but I think it would've been pointing towards the object.</p>

96

<p>really? i thought it was circular motion!?@#!@#</p>

97

<p>yea anonymous I put velocity tangent and acceleration directed toward plant.</p>

98

<p>What was the answer to the question near the end with the masses on the pulley? Isn't g independent of mass so wouldn't the acceleration of both systems be the same?</p>

99

<p>i didn't find the test that hard actually
i read the princeton review and did the 5 PTs in REA and 2 in princeton
princeton review had some minor errors in the book but i found it more complete than any other. REA's description was really crappy, lol</p>

<p>oh btw
according to princeton's scale, raw score of 50 gives you a 750
which means you can get 20 wrong? that's a big scale right there..</p>

100

<p>i dont think gravity is acting with a net force on the blocks on the table (little m) so i said that the acceleration of the system with 1 block is greater than the one with 2, simply because theres more mass in system 2 and F=ma and F is just the force of gravity on the big block M hanging on the pulley. it makes sense intuitively too</p>
