AI Thread Summary
The upcoming standardized physics exam will focus on conceptual understanding of topics such as motion, projectile motion, Newton's laws, and uniform circular motion. It is advised to seek out practice tests that align with these concepts. Halliday Resnick is recommended as a valuable resource, particularly for its challenging exercises. Engaging with difficult problems rather than solely multiple-choice questions is crucial for effective preparation. Comprehensive practice will enhance understanding and performance on the exam.

Our teacher said that we will be taking a standardized final exam that is all multiple choice, purely conceptual. It's from motion in one direction, projectile motion, Newton's laws, uniform circular motion and things like that. Does anyone know where I can find a practice version of a test like this?

Try Halliday Resnick if you can find at your library (or any other book that is used for first year uni. physics courses). Solve all the hard exercise questions. Solving only MC questions will not help a lot.

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
