Homework Instructions

  1. Please write the question number down for each problem.
  2. You do not need to write down the question.
  3. You can write out your answers in pen or pencil, unless you find it easier to type.
  4. Neatness has no effect on your grade as long I can read it, so do not stress on making your homework look good.
  5. Show your work! Many problems require several steps to arrive at the final answer. If you simply show an answer, I do not know if it is right because you guessed, and I do not know if it is wrong because of a simple math error. Showing your work may give you partial credit if your answer is wrong. If you make a mistake, remember that neatness is not a requirement. Example: rather than simply write an answer of 100N down, show the steps you took to calculate as follows:
    Σ F = 0
    Fpush - Ffriction = 0
    Fpush = Ffriction
    100N = Ffriction
