PHYSICS 137

Dr. Tracianne B. Neilsen


EXAM I – INFORMATION

General Instructions:

● Exams are given at the testing center. Note testing center closes early on Fridays and
Mondays.
● There is no time limit.
● Books and notes are not allowed.
● Any calculator and scratch paper are allowed.
● For quantitative questions (that require calculations): Show all work clearly. Write down
the equation(s) and conversion factors used. Identify variables. I need to be able to follow
your work.
● For qualitative questions, each question specifies the length of response expected. I
recommend you use scratch paper to jot down ideas, specific examples, etc. Then
organize your thoughts into one or two clear concise paragraphs with a clearly
identifiable topic sentence and concluding point.
● Equations, tables, and additional figures are located at the end of the exam.
● Do not share information about this exam.

Kinetic Energy = KE = 𝑚𝑣 "
d = distance [m] 2
e = efficiency [change % to decimal] Potential energy due to gravity:
E = energy [J]
PE! = 𝑚𝑔ℎ
F = force [N]
g = gravitational constant = 10 m/s2 Heat needed to change temperature:
h = height above reference [m] 𝑄 = 𝑚𝑐𝛥𝑇
KE = kinetic energy [J]
Heat needed to change phase:
m = mass [kg]
PE = potential energy [J] 𝑄 = 𝑚𝐿
P = power [W] Theoretical limit on efficiency:

v = velocity [m/s]
W = work [J] Work-energy theorem:
Δ = change in = final – initial 𝑊 = 𝛥𝐸
c = specific heat [J/kg/K]
L = latent heat [J/kg] Energy conservation:
Primary energy
