Physics 112 Exam 2 Summer 2008

Name_________________

Physics 112
Summer 2008
Exam 2
Monday, July 14

Directions:

This 60-minute exam consists of twenty multiple-choice questions. This test is worth
20% of your final grade. (One point is equal to 1% of the final grade.)

The questions on this test are not in order of difficulty.

You must mark all of your answers on both your test and answer sheet.

In marking the multiple choice bubble sheet use a number 2 pencil. Do not use ink. If
you did not bring a pencil, ask for one. Fill in the appropriate circles completely. If you
need to change any entry, you must completely erase your previous entry.

Carefully read each question and its five possible answers. Select one and only one
answer for each question. Choose the answer that is closest to the correct one.

You have a sheet in the back of the test that you may use for any extra rough work.

When you are finished with the exam, place all exam materials, including the bubble
sheet, the exam itself, and scratch paper that you used for the exam, in your folder and
return the folder.

Good luck!
