Practice Unit Test Part 1 - Dynamics (May 2011)

This document contains a unit test on dynamics for a physics class. The test has multiple choice questions, shown work for one question, and problem solving questions to be answered in a GRFS (Given, Required, Formula, Substitute, Solve) format including free body diagrams. The problem solving questions involve calculating acceleration and tension for two connected masses on an inclined plane, finding acceleration and tension for two masses connected by an extending spring, and deriving and using equations to find the velocity and frequency of a tether ball kicked at an angle.
