Let's study physics!

Study guide for a second exam of PHY111 (The first course of algebra-based introductory physics)

Here are my suggestions: Make sure which constant is used in which system. For the items marked with (*), you should fully understand the steps shown. Don't be rash during the exam. If you finished earlier, I recommend you go over the problems.

For the equilibrium of torques, please don't forget the signs of these. A clockwise torque is negative, and a counter-clockwise one is positive. If there is an angle between the lever arm and force acting on the point, you have to take the angle into account (such as a ladder problem). Good Luck!
