PHYSICS 2B
FINAL EXAM
December 14, 2000
Name:_____________________
Rules for Exam:
1. You are allowed one 8.5"x11" sheet of handwritten crib notes. You MUST turn in
your crib notes.
2. Calculators are allowed, but you may not share one.
3. Show your work on numerical problems. Do not expect any credit for a problem if I
cannot logically follow what you have put on your paper.
4. Make sure you include units with each answer. One point will be deducted for each
infraction.
5. Points will be deducted for students that refuse to turn in their exams, when asked
to do so (at the end of class).
6. In general you will not be penalized for incorrect sig. figs. However, one point will be
deducted for each answer that has a ridiculous amount of significant figures. For
example, a final answer quoted as 2.239389479 m/s is ridiculous.
7. Circle your final answers.
There are 9 pages to this exam. Put your name on all pages of the
exam.
Good Luck and Merry X-mas!
