An answer key is included at the end of this guide.  \nA formula sheet is included at the end of this test. You will be provided with this formula sheet during the placement test. You also will need a non-graphing scientific calculator for the test. Graphing calculators are not permitted.  \nThis test is for upgrading placement purposes only. This exam may not be used for admission to any SAIT program; that is, this is not a SAIT admission exam. In addition, the results cannot be used at any other educational institution.  \nThe time allotted for the Physics 10 Placement test is 45 min. It consists of 20 questions and covers the physics material from Science 10. A mark of 60% is required to pass and allows entrance into  \nPHYS 181 (equivalent to Physics 20) .  \nPHYS 181 is accepted as an admission requirement at other post-secondary institutions in Alberta, but you should always check with the post-secondary institution you are interested in attending (if it is not SAIT) to confirm it will accept the course.  \nStudents who have successfully taken APSC 180 (grade 10 Science) at SAIT are not required to take the placement test for PHYS 181.  \nSAIT Academic Upgrading Course Sequence  \nAPSC 180 (Science Prep)  \nPHYS 181 (Physics 20 equiv.)  \nPHYS 182 (Physics 30 equiv.)  \nIntroduction: Physics 10 Study Guide  \n• Review the practice exercises. You may use the formulas provided on the formula sheet at the end of the guide.  \n• This guide contains multiple choice and short answer questions; however, the test contains only multiple choice questions (20 questions; time limit = 45 min.) .  \n• Check your answers with the answer key provided at the end of this guide.  \n• You may choose to utilize a Science 10 Study Guide from the Calgary Public Library or bookstore for extra review. Make sure you focus on the physics chapters from such guides.  \n• You will be given a formula sheet during the test.  \n• You will need to bring a scientific calculator for the test (graphing calculators are not permitted) .  \nMultiple Choice  \nUse the following information to answer \\#1 to 4:  \nA bear paces 12.0 m north in 5.00 s, then 16.0 m south in 5.00 s, and then 14.0 m north in 4.00 s.  \n1.
