Physics Competition 2015

Physics Competition 2015

Dear Students,

The Center for Theoretical Physics and the Physics Department invite you to participate in City Tech’s Physics Competition!

You solve physics problems. You win prize money. Last year, $700 in prize money was distributed among five students, just like you!

• The competition will consist of two rounds.
• In the first round, you will solve a set of problems at home.
• You can use books and calculators. However, you must work alone.
• You submit your solutions online through this site by uploading a file.
• The students who pass the first round will be invited to participate in the second round, which will consist of solving problems in a classroom. The winners of this round will receive prize money.

The competition is open to any enrolled City Tech student. The problems do not require knowledge of calculus.

You may pick one of two competition tracks: mechanics or electromagnetism -- or participate in both!

Good Luck!
