DATE of EXAM: Wednesday, June 25, 2014

ROOM: 209

TIME:    9:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (but you will be allowed an extra 30 minutes)

EXAM FORMULA SHEET:
Students may bring in a formula sheet (maximum. 8.5 x 14 " - legal size), writing on one side. Alternatively, you may use a regular letter-sized sheet, writing on both sides. This sheet may contain only formulae, labels and units.

No writing of sentences (such as Newton' Laws) or sketching (such as of the Right Hand Rules) will be allowed. Formula sheets will be checked before the exam starts.


PARTS OF EXAM:
PART A: Multiple Choice 40 marks
PART B: Matching8 marks
PART C: Calculations27 marks
PART D: Applications * 45 marks
Exam Total 120 marks **

* Choose 3 items to write about from a list of seven items.   (3 answers x 15 marks each) This is not necessarily an essay-format answer; labelled sketches and point form answers are fine.   The most important thing is to include sufficient detail in each answer so that 15 marks can be awarded for each. A wise student will prepare (in his or her mind) responses to a selection of potential questions as a part of the exam-preparation process.



EXAM BREAKDOWN FOR EACH TOPIC
    These breakdowns reflect your exam exactly.
  1. 8%: Kinematics (displacement, velocity, acceleration)
  2. 8%: Dynamics (friction, Newton's Laws)
  3. 27%: Energy, work and power
  4. 23%: Sound and Waves
  5. 13%: Magnetism
  6. 23%: Electricity
  7. Extended Response, select three questions from all units from a list of seven items.
