Please note that any questions in this unit that can be solved using the Sine and Cosine Laws can also be approached using the components method. As both a Physics and Math teacher, I encourage students to apply their cross-disciplinary skills to enhance their problem-solving abilities in Physics. Similarly, problems that can be solved with the Quadratic Formula can often be tackled by breaking the problem into simpler parts.
Review how to add and subtract MULTIPLE 1D and 2D vectors graphically and by components.
Compass bearing versus standard angles bearing.
Apply vector Math to solve basic Navigation problems with a focus on River Crossing problems and Airplane Navigation Problems
Projectile Motion
Application the Quadratic Formula to help solve Ideal projectile motion problems

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
