TIPS ON SUBMITTING HW ASSIGNMENTS WITH MASTERING PHYSICS Please, never use your browser's BACK button in the middle of an Mastering Physics session. The system is designed to only move in the forward direction. The way things are set up at this time, you will have six opportunities to answer each part of each problem. There will also be a wrong-answer penalty of 3% per wrong answer. Always use three significant figures in your numerical answers (unless the program gives other instructions for a particular problem). Numerical answers must be correct to within 2%. Please note that the MP problem numbers may not always correspond to the problem numbers in the 12th edition of Young and Freedman. The CHECK ANSWER button is turned off until after the deadline for that HW has passed. After the deadline (usually by Noon on the following day), the CHECK ANSWER button is activated; at that time, you may return to any MP problem and use the check answer button to request the correct answer. TIPS FOR USING THE SYMBOLIC ANSWER ENTRY FORMAT: To escape from superscript or subscript mode, use the rightarrow (→) key. If you type an expression, but forget to put part of it in parentheses, highlight the relevant part and then select parentheses from the math palette.
