The final will be comprehensive, but will be weighted more heavily on the material we have covered since the midterm. It will also be multiple choice (entirely). There will be computational problems.

Expect a projectile problem, linear and angular kinetics problems (including impulse-momentum and static equilibrium), and work/energy/power problems.

Expect that any given problem may require some vector manipulation.

If you can solve the problems on the sample problem sheets in your student packet, you will have no difficulties with the problems on the test.

Make sure you bring your calculator and your formula sheet.
