My hour exams are not creative. They look a lot like the sample multiple-guess questions included with every chapter's homework questions.Here are some previous hour exams from PHY 3050 and a somewhat similar course, PHY 1050. The details of the exams change from time to time -- or every time. But these previous hour exams will give you some idea of what I have asked in the past. Please do not use these as a major cramming resource. Rather, look over the homework and the notes -- preferrably your own classroom notes, but also my notes on the web.
Please let me know if any of the links are broken! Please let me know if images are missing.
(Spring 2000's First Hour Exam, on February 10, contains material from Chapter 5, Momentum. That material appears in the Second Hour Exam for most other semesters).
