Spring Final
Pep Talk - These are full on IB test questions. The expectation is that you will STUDY for this test. Memorize the markschemes, work through the problems. There really is no sense that if you did well in the class, and you show up for the final without having studied that this will be at all fair to you, rather it is intended as an exercise in nuancing an IB test.
The Spring Final will be the same rules as the Fall - it is a group final - Seniors don't take it. You must work together (i.e. literally be on the same page as you work)
Groups in the past have delegated the studying - that is fine.
The Final is very much like the IB Take Home tests you worked out already, and the parts I added or changed are noted below.
The Final will be 58 IB Marks (But only 30 SA points)
1. Air Bubble (M17|3|1 #9) (Changed slightly) Question | Markscheme
2. Solid Cube (N16|3|0 #13) Question | Markscheme
but totally changed:
Basic Density question <Video>
Buoyancy question just like this one - net force exerted to keep part of the object immersed in a fluid to some depth HTPIB10S29 <Video>
3. Totally new question - I give you the mass, and a graph of the position vs time. It's like the 11.0 stuff
Label where the velocity is positive and where it is negative
Label where the speed is maximum, and where it is zero
Write an equation for the position of the mass
Draw an accurate graph of the velocity for the same time period
Calculate the spring constant k for the system
4. Car on Bridge (M13|2|1 #A2) Question | Markscheme
c) Calculate the force the bridge exerts on the car (Changed)
5. Beam of Coherent Monochromatic Light (M18|2|1 #3) Question | Markscheme
Explain the first bright fringe next to the central maximum
Outline why the light must be coherent
Solve for d, the slit separation
Angular separation to the missing peak
Width of one of the slits
6. Cylinder Space Probe (M17|3|2 #8) (Entirely the same - numbers changed) Question | Markscheme
Part a | Part b | Part ci | Part cii |
7. Railway Truck (M12|2|2 #B3) (Changed slightly - See below) Question | Markscheme
Parts abc | Part d i | Part d ii | Part d iii | Part d iv | Part d v
But only these 4 are on the test:
Determine Maximum force from graph Part d i
Time it takes to go a certain distance (suvat) Part d ii
Velocity after collision with another truck Part d iv
Energy lost in the collision (Just like FA 7.3 FA7 3 Practice #1 )
Old stuff:
1. Linear Kinematics (You have never seen before) - Ball thrown upwards and lands lower than the point from which it was thrown. [6]
What is the ball's acceleration at various times when it is in flight Free Fall Problems - Tip #1 at the beginning
What is the ball's velocity at various times when it is in flight
Graph its velocity and label when it is at the top Free Fall Problems - at around 3:00 I talk about the graph
Calculate the height of the cliff
Study questions:
Free Fall Problems - especially example 2 at 10:35 but you should watch the whole video to review these problems
2. Projectile Motion (You have never seen before) - Ball thrown with a horizontal velocity from the top of a cliff. [4]
Draw a qualitative graph of the horizontal velocity of the ball while it is in the air
Draw a qualitative graph of the vertical velocity of the ball while it is in the air
Calculate the time in the air
Calculate the horizontal distance the ball goes before it strikes the ground
Study Questions:
Basic Projectile Motion Part I . the last 50 seconds
Free Fall Problems - Pay attention to the graph I make near the beginning
3. Energy and Momentum - Skier goes down a hill. (M17|2|1 #1) [10] - From Fall Final
Part a ii - not on the exam
4. Rotational Motion - Cylinder Space Probe (M17|3|2 #8) [10] - From take home
5. Superposition, Interference and Young's Double Slit [10]
Superposition and Interference (M13|2|1 #A3) - From a warm up
Young's Double Slit (M17|2|1 #2) - From your in class quiz
6. Q factor and Resonant Systems (SPEC|3|0 #11) [5] - You did this one in class
7. Doppler [5]
Draw the wavefronts as circles around a moving object (You have never seen before)
Study: Intro to Doppler - Especially the diagram at 1:42 in this video shows you exactly how to do it
Calculate the wavelength in front of and behind the moving object. (You have never seen before)
Hint: Calculate the frequencies using the Doppler formula, moving source, the use v = f{lambda}
Study: Doppler Moving Source
Example Just like the Exam Question
The last bit of Wave Properties (M03|2|0 #B1) - From your take home test
