Physics 132-01 Homework Assignments, Spring 2019

A VERY effective way to study physics is to do the homework as the material is covered in class and then do additional problems when you study for an exam. See the course website below for the latest updates on assigned homework problems, solutions, dates, etc.

Solutions for the assigned problems from the text and the workbook by Knight can be found on the course website. These solutions are password-protected and are solely for the use of students in Physics 132-01 and are not be shared with people outside this class. The solutions are not be downloaded, printed, or archived in any way. Sharing, saving, or archiving these solutions are Honor code violations. The chapters on the website refer to the text Physics for Scientists and Engineers, third edition by Knight. Note: The numbers refer to the Exercises and Problems section at the end of each chapter, NOT the Conceptual Questions. Items labeled with a `W' refer to the workbook by Knight (Student Workbook for Physics for Scientists and Engineers, see Textbooks on page 1 of the Syllabus). Items labeled with an `L' refer to the laboratory manual Physics For Doing by Belk et al.

Help With Physics Homework

If you have trouble with homework help is available from me during my office hours (see page 1 of this syllabus) and at other times when I'm available.
