The midterm exam will consist of two components:

Part 1] 50 multiple choice questions that include short answer and short problems requiring calculations. This section covers all topics from chapter 1-5 (Giancoli) -- covered in class. Each question is worth 1 point.

Part 2] Complete 5 of 6 free response problems that will be taken from the following ten topics: • Horizontal Kinematics • Free Fall Kinematics • Kinematics of Projectile Launched Horizontally • Kinematics of Projectiles Launched at Angles • Vector's & Newton's Laws (Static Equilibrium) • Newton’s Laws: Atwood's Machines • Newton’s Laws & Incline Planes • Newton’s Laws & Friction: An Experiment to be Designed • Circular Motion • Newton's Law of Gravity

Each problem must be solved in detail including the derivation of applicable formulas that are not listed in the formula sheet included below. Each problem is worth 10 points.
