To obtain a test similar to what you might expect for Wednesday, Mar. 26th, click here. This was part 2 of test 1 that I gave last spring (2007).  The will also be a terminology part; click here for a list of terms the you should know.

Here's the Work and Power, and Work and Energy sheets that we did in class today.

As we are not requiring a textbook, here is a list of good references that cover most of the topics we will cover.

http://www.lightandmatter.com/   (downloadable physics textbooks, varying levels)

* http://www.fearofphysics.com/ (site for the physics fearful)

* http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html (comprehensive physics definitions w/examples)

* http://www.physicsclassroom.com/ (online tutorials and demos)

* http://acept.asu.edu/courses/phs110/course_info/class_notes/ Good notes on many topics covered.

http://www.practicalphysics.org/ (experiments you can try)

http://www.easyphysics.net/ or http://library.thinkquest.org/10796/ (online tutorial)

http://cwx.prenhall.com/bookbind/pubbooks/giancoli/ (companion website to another textbook, lots of practice problems to test yourself)

http://wshs.wtvl.k12.me.us/~physics361/ (I know it says high school, but this is pretty good)

http://dmoz.org/Science/Physics/Education/Tutorials/ (a list of other places to look)

 * http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/Class/circuits/circuitstoc.html Excellent lessons on circuits.

*particularly helpful with simple examples and hints.
