1 Physics 271 FINAL EXAM-SOLUTIONS Friday Dec 23, 2005 Prof. Amitabh Lath 1. The exam will last from 8:00 am to 11:00 am. Use a # 2 pencil to make entries on the answer sheet. Enter the following id information now, before the exam starts. 2. In the section labelled NAME, enter your last name, then fill in the e/mpty circle for a blank, then enter your first name, another blank, and finally your middle initial. 3. Under STUDENT # enter your 9-digit ID Number. 4. Under COURSE enter Under SECTION enter your recitation section. 6. Under CODE enter the exam code given above. 7. During the exam, you may use pencils, a calculator, and TWO sheet of paper with formulas and notes. 8. There are 26 multiple-choice questions on the exam. For each question, mark only one answer on the answer sheet. There is no subtraction of points for an incorrect answer, so even if you cannot work out the answer to a question, you should make an educated guess. 9. At the end of the exam, hand in only the answer sheet. Retain this question paper for reference and study. 1
