Physics 30 Energy Exam


We have another Physics 30 exam right around the corner!

The Work, Power, and Energy exam will be Friday, May 25.


We will write a Practice Exam in class on Thursday, May  24. The Practice Exam answers will be found HERE.

The Gravitational Potential Energy Problems assignment answers are found HERE.


The answers for the multiple choice section of the review are found HERE.
The other part of the review is the Work, Power, and Energy Practice Assignment. You can find those answers HERE.

  • To get a Bonus mark you need to complete both parts and get it signed.



Here is an applet you can experiment with to aide your understanding of Energy. CLICK HERE The applet has a skateboarder and you can create the track/halfpipe that s/he travels in. To see the energies you can turn on a Pie Chart and/or a Bar Graph. Notice that at the top of the ramp all of the energy is Potential Energy. At the lowest point all of the energy is kinetic. What does this same about the speed at each point?

Good luck and have fun!

Physics 30 Forces Exam

Here are a couple of applets that may help with the studying.

Law of Universal Gravitation: HERE Try changing the distance between the objects to see what it does to the Force. Try changing the mass too!

Forces including the frictional forces: HERE In this applet, keep increasing the applied force until the object begins to move. You can then decrease the applied force and it will continue to move. Why is that? What is the relationship between kinetic and static friction? If you increase the object's mass, what does that do to the necessary applied force?


The exam will be on Thursday, May 10. The topics covered will begin at Newton's Laws. The other topics covered are Gravitation, Mass/Weight, Friction, Free Fall, and Momentum. You can find the review answers here: PAGE 1 PAGE 2

On Wednesday, May 9 we will write a Practice Exam in class to assess if you are ready for the exam. Here are the answers: PRAC EXAM

Please, if you are having any trouble at all, see me immediately! I want to be able to help you prepare for the exam, but I am away from school on Monday and Tuesday, so please see me ASAP.

Good luck!
