PHY 2049 - Physics 2 with Calculus - Spring 2011


Wiley Plus

The homework problems in the WileyPlus system are due on the dates noted at 11PM. All WileyPlus homework must be completed by 11PM on the due date. No exceptions allowed. Since the WileyPlus server might have problems occasionally, be sure to start the assignments early and turn in answers steadily, rather than all on the last day. Answers can be entered individually.

The  problems are listed below. Most answers are numerical, and need to be within a certain tolerance (currently set to 2%) of the correct answer. You get instant feedback as to whether the answer is correct or not. You usually have up to 5 attempts to get the correct answer.

After the homework is assignment is due, the homework solutions will be placed on the E-Learning in Sakai web site for this course. This will give you plenty of time to study the solutions prior to your quiz on Thursday, or Friday.

Advice: Homework is a rewarding activity for those who work at it. We encourage students to talk to one another about the problems, but you must enter the answers yourself. It is extremely important to work out how an answer was obtained, because that is the key for doing well on the quizzes and exams.

Suggested Additional Problems

The end of chapter questions and problems, including the ones in WileyPlus, are extremely useful for testing your comprehension of the material. In other words, you will not understand physics if you can't solve these types of problems. Our experience is that a strategy of keeping up-to-date with the reading and working these problems, even when some require extra effort, is extremely effective for preparing for the examinations. Conversely, a pattern of falling behind followed by last-minute cramming is ineffective and leads to needless stress.

Should you have troubles in solving any of the problems, you should not hesitate in seeking help from your friends, your TA, or your instructors. The Teaching Center provides excellent physics tutoring services, as do the students of Tau Beta Pi.

Each of these problems has solutions in the Student Solutions Manual, which is available on the WileyPlus web site.
