ONCE AGAIN: All but number 13 have solutions now. Number 13 will not be on the final.
YET MORE: number 14 is now solved.
UPDATE: review problems 8, 11, and 12 have solutions now. The rest are on their way ...
I should be available most of the weekend by cell phone, facebook, email, or IM (username "uaphysics", AOL IM account).
Shortly, I will post a few more solutions to the exam review questions, and should have them finished this evening. I'll put an update here when that happens.

And now, for something completely different:
You will not have a new homework set until this Friday. Why, you ask, is there such a large gap between the homework set you have due today, and the subsequent one?
That is because you are going to write me a paper over the next two weeks. Seriously, a physics paper. It will be fun, I swear.
Instead of just calculating things all day long, you will write me a little paper which puts what you have learned in a broader context, and relates physics to everyday life and your career path. You will have two weeks to research and write these papers, in small groups, and I will devote most of one class period next week to this task.
More details will follow in class. Successful completion of the paper will count as much as two homework sets.
This is a group activity, and only five double-spaced pages ... if you work efficiently in teams, this will not be a lot of work, but has the potential for an easy 'A.' There will be bonus points for the top paper (as judged by me), in an amount to be determined.
