Problem-solving strategy
- read and re-read; identify what is known/unknown
- make a drawing
- use the laws of Physics to establish formal relationships, \( \vec{F} = m \vec{a} \)
- perform algebraic manipulations to get the final result
- substitute numerical values; watch significant figures
- does it make sense?
Marking: 1-4 worth 80-85%, 5-6 worth 15-20%.
