PHYSICSBOWL 2017 March 29 April 14, 2017 40 QUESTIONS 45 MINUTES The ponor of the 2017 PhyicBowl, including the American Aociation of Phyic Teacher, are providing ome of the prize to recognize outtanding high chool phyic tudent and their teacher through their performance on thi year contet. School compete in one of two diviion, each with nineteen region. o o Diviion 1 i for tudent taking phyic for the firt time (even if that firt coure i AP Phyic). Diviion 2 i for tudent taking a econd (or more) coure in phyic or anyone wanting a challenge. A chool' team core in each diviion i the um of the five highet tudent core in that diviion. A chool may compete in either or both diviion. INSTRUCTIONS Anwer heet: Write and bubble-in the following REQUIRED information on your anwer heet: Your Name Your Teacher AAPT Teacher code (given to you by your teacher only one code per chool!) Your Region (given to you by your teacher) Your Diviion (1 for firt-year phyic tudent, 2 for tudent in a 2 nd phyic coure or wanting a challenge) If thi information i not properly bubbled, you will be diqualified a your official core will be a zero. Your School CEEB code (given to you by your teacher), though not required, IS helpful in the event of a diqualification for identifying your chool. Your anwer heet will be machine graded. Be ure to ue a #2 pencil, fill the bubble completely, and make no tray mark on the anwer heet. Quetion: The tet i compoed of 50 quetion; however, tudent anwer only 40 quetion. Anwer hould be marked on the anwer heet next to the number correponding to the quetion number on the tet. Diviion 1 tudent will anwer only quetion 1 40. Number 41 100 on the anwer heet hould remain blank for all Diviion 1 tudent. Diviion 2 tudent will anwer only quetion 11 50. Number 1 10 and 51 100 on the anwer heet hould remain blank for all Diviion 2 tudent. Calculator: A hand-held calculator may be ued. Any memory mut be cleared of data and program. Calculator may not be hared. Formula and contant: Only the formula and contant provided with the contet may be ued. Time limit: 45 minute. Score: Your core i equal to the number of correct anwer (no deduction for incorrect anwer). If there are tie core, the entrie will be compared from the end of the tet forward until the tie i reolved.
