Physics 227H: Honors Analytical Physics II
Fall 2020

Practice Problems for new chapters on Final Exam:  29 (second half), 30, 31, 32, 33 (1st part)

This is a list of suggested practice problems in addition to homework exercises. All numbers below refer to problems in Halliday, Resnick and Walker, 10th edition. Q refers to the Questions section. * designates a challenge problem. The answers to all odd-numbered problems can be found in the back of the book, for you to check your work.

WORKING ON THESE PROBLEMS IS A GREAT WAY TO DEVELOP YOUR FORMULA SHEET FOR THE EXAM (single sided 8.5"x11"). If you look up any equations or other information, write it on the sheet so that by the end, you can work all the problems without looking at the book.  Note that the values of fundamental constants and conversions will be provided on the exam. ALSO, if you feel like it took a long time to solve a problem, take a look back when you are done and see if you can find a simpler way to do it. This will help when you are solving problems in limited time on the exam.
