Used to asses ability to do basic kinetic energy calculations using US Customary units.  Student must convert given data into appropriate units then find specific energy, total energy and power in specified units.  Question randomizes mass, final speed and time to accelerate to final speed.  

Used to asses ability to do basic kinetic energy calculations using SI units.  Student must convert given data into appropriate units then find specific energy, total energy and power in specified units.  Question randomizes mass, final speed and time to accelerate to final speed.  

This quiz covers Statics Chapter 01 - Introduction

It assess the students ability to calculating weights and masses under varying gravitational accelerations using SI and USCS units of measure.  

The ability to us given conversion factors and gravitational accelerations with Newton's 3rd law to calculate weights and masses under different gravitational conditions in either SI or USCS units then report answers to a specified number of significant figures is assessed.  

The student will be given a mass in either SI or USCS units.  They will use this mass to calculate its weight on earth and on the moon in both USCS and SI units of measure.  The student will then convert the mass to the other system of units and report the mass of the item when it is on the moon in that system of units.  

The only randomization is the mass in lbs and mass in kg generated for the first and second questions.  

The exam uses exact conversion factors and the exact standard gravitational acceleration on earth but the moons average gravitational acceleration is an estimate not a standardized value.  

This quiz covers Statics Chapter 02 - Forces and Other Vectors 

It assess the students ability to:

• Calculate magnitudes of 3D Cartesian vectors
• Calculate dot products of 3D Cartesian vectors
• Determine the angle between arbitrary 3D Cartesian vectors
• Determine the cross product of two arbitrary 3D Cartesian vectors

Two random 3D cartesian vectors are computed with integral components from -10 to 10 inclusive.  

Vectors in this quiz have no units.  

Test students ability to find 3D Cartesian vector magnitudes, dot products, angles between arbitrary vectors and cross products of arbitrary vectors 

Problem tests a students understanding of how weight, mass, force and gravitational acceleration relate  to each other and whether the student can convert between USCS (US Customary System or FPS, foot pound second) and SI ("Metric" system or MKS, meter kilogram second) systems using these quantities.  Student is given mass on earth in USCS and must find weights on earth and moon in both SI and USCS units.  Finally student is asked to find mass on moon.  Only the given mass in USCS units is randomized.  Values for g_earth and g_moon are given but not in the same unit systems.  The definition of pound mass is given in kg and the definition of m is given in feet as well.  

The units add on is not used because it does not work for converting kg*m/s^2 to N.
