        Questions taken from concepts in "College Physics Third Ed." by
        Serway and Faughn, (c) 1992.

        Q1) How many meters are there in a 200 yard dash? ______meters




        Q2) A ball is dropped into a deep water well and the sound of the
        splash as the ball reaches the bottom of the well is heard 3 seconds
        later.  Estimate the depth of the well neglecting time required for
        sound to travel. __________





        Q3) An airplane flies 135 ft. at an angle of 40 degrees above the
        horizon. How far does it move horizontally and vertically?
        Hor:_______ft.  Ver:_______ft.






        Q4) A 1,000 newton bobsled leaves a horizontal track with a speed of
        30 m/s, it then moves onto a horizontal track lightly sprinkled with
        sawdust and comes to a stop in a distance of 150 m. Find the
        coefficient of friction between the sled and the sawdust.  _________




        Q5) What is the kinetic energy of a 3000 kilogram car moving at 55
        mph? _________ Joules





        Q6) A 7 kilogram bowling ball collides head-on with a 2-kg pin.  The
        pin flies forward with a speed of 3 m\s.  If the ball continues
        forward with a speed of 1.8 m\s, what was the initial speed of the
        ball?  ________ m/s


To Whom it may concern,

     The above test is a general physics test covering Mayo high school's first
semester physics class.  It was designed mostly to inform us of the users of
Internet.  We are conducting an experiment of our design for Advanced
Physics under Steve Brehmer.  The results will be compared with our
advanced and regular physics classes.  Be sure to inform your students that
all information on the test is confidential and voluntary.  We do not want each
completed test back.  Just fill out this file and return it to our Internet
 address
(check header).

Answer key:
Q1) 182.8 meters
