Gen Physics 1 Midterm Exam

This document appears to be a chemistry exam from Santa Lucia Catholic School covering topics in measurement and error analysis, vectors, and kinematics. It contains 10 multiple choice questions testing concepts like measurement error, vector vs scalar quantities, and examples of systematic and random errors. It also includes 5 graph interpretation questions and 5 word problems involving unit conversions, vector displacement, velocity, distance traveled, and free fall kinematics. The exam is assessing students' understanding of fundamental physics and chemistry concepts as well as their ability to apply these concepts to calculations and graph analysis.
