Previous exams
Note 1 - In the Fall of 2024, the exam format was changed so that each problem was worth a certain number points and some answers were worth partial credit. Prior to Fall 2024 a learning objective model was used. The problems are still great practice, but the way credit is applied has changed.
Note 2 - that from Fall 2019 to Spring 2021 (inclusive), we used a different textbook: Physics for Scientists and Engineers (6th ed.) by Tipler and Mosca. The material is very similar, but in Tipler's book, Static Equilibrium is Chapter 12 instead of Young and Freedman's book where it is Chapter 11. And Gravity is Chapter 11 in Tipler's book, versus Chapter 13 in Young and Freedman.
