Unit 4 Blank Notes with Worksheet Package
(2024-2025 Version)
Group Assignment #4
Due at the start of the Unit 4 Test
New Practice Test (2024-2025 Version)
Solution Key New Practice Test
My practice tests have always been, are, and will always be intended as a general guide to help students prepare for unit tests. You must review my notes and work through the questions in the review package in addition to the practice test. As I’ve emphasized in class, don’t just learn how to solve a specific problem or set of problems—focus on understanding the underlying Physics and Math concepts. Do not expect to see identical questions with different values on your test. If you do, you’ll be disappointed.
If there are any typos, wrong calculations, or wrong answers please tell me politely. Thank you
