Physics B.SC

The document is a past exam paper for a physics course assessing mathematical physics and Newtonian mechanics. It contains 20 multiple choice questions (Section A), 3 short answer questions (Section B), and 2 long answer/essay questions (Section C). The multiple choice questions cover topics like conservative forces, centrifugal force, angular momentum, dimensional analysis, Kepler's laws of planetary motion, simple pendulums, and properties of materials. The short answer questions ask about Newton's laws of motion, conservative forces as negative gradients of potential energy, and the theorem of perpendicular axes for moments of inertia. The long answer questions involve deriving expressions for the deformation of a cantilever beam, the total energy of simple harmonic motion, elastic collisions
