If you weren't able to score that high on the exam or didn't take the exam, we will be sending out an assignment containing a few FRQs to help you refresh your Physics knowledge. Relax, you are not expected to get the correct answer for every question. Just try your best to complete them on time and
Directions:
This assignment is open internet, open book, open note. You may also collaborate with others. There is no time limit, just make sure you finish, scan, and submit it in the old google classroom for the physics team by 9/28. A submission spot for this packet will be created on it soon. The only rule is that you may not have someone else do this assignment for you. Also please remember to show your work on another sheet of paper.
