Item | Points Possible |
Problem 1 | |
Given is labeled. All given information is presented using standard symbols. Subscripts are used to identify similar quantities for different objects. The signs on the givens are consistent with the direction chosen for positive x. (This requires that the direction of positive x be shown on the diagram.) | 2 |
Goal is labeled and is stated. Any needed assumptions are stated. | 1 |
Labeled diagram clearly shows origin, direction of positive x, and identifies relevant quantities. | 1 |
The equation(s) to be used to solve the problem is (are) stated correctly. | 1 |
The equations are solved for the unknown. Algebra is done correctly. The result is an equation in symbolic form before numerical substitutions are made. | 2 |
Numerical values with units are substituted and reduced to give the value of the unknown with units. | 1 |
Checks are applied to your result (units, sign, sense) | 1 |
Problem 2 | 3 |
Deductions may be made for solutions that are not presented clearly in an organized and readable way. (equations given one below the other and spaced appropriately, no scratchwork, legible handwriting) | |
