Do you think you have covered all the physics syllabus as of now?
If not, which bits are you finding the hardest to grasp or remember?

i think i am absolutely fine with EVERYTHING.... .except the option...damn geophysics...
we must be like only one of 3 schools doing it in the entire state..
who the hell chooses such a shit subject..there is sooooo work at all..oh well easy marks but nah i cant get a grasp of it..hopefully within the next week i can.
other than that i m fine with everything else

I think I'm ready for the core modules. I just need to finish summarising "Quanta to Quarks: The Standard Model of Particle Physics" (and understanding it).
:confused:

Everytime I think I'm ready, there is always some hidden dot point that I missed.

*Remembers the Edison/Westinghouse dot point*

and a little bit of practice would also help.

my plan: doing the success one book the day before the exam! yes all 4 modules.

Im ready for some of it but things i find the most difficult....

SPACE:
-Projectile Motion Equations
-Centripital Force shit

MOTORS & GENERATORS:
-Lenz Law shit

I 2 I:
-Photoelectric Effect

-The whole option: Quanta to Quarks

wahlito, make sure you understand lenz's law, it will make everything in m&G easier. plus it is often tested in the exam.

:)
oh and the option of course, it seems to come up every years :p

hmm..out of all my exams I think physics would be my best one..the only area that Im unsure abt is M&G..all my dot pnts are done:)...now theres only reviewing and practising left to do:(

any1 doin 3u maths and physics?? i do both and jus wonderin if u figure out the projectile motion q's by using the physics formulas or deriving em etc like we do in maths......i feel that i understand the maths way is easier to comprehend even thought ultimately they are the same equations :p

I do 3unit maths and physics. but I think using the science formulae make it sooo much easier. *sign* I wish I could use it in my 3unit maths paper... but if you do you get a big fat 0! well that is what my teacher said.

hmm, basically we werent taught 1/3 of the prelim topics, and never got to space because we had too many teachers. another thing is that i hav numerous issues with quanta...like who really cares!

I think the 3U maths projectile is more complex to be able to apply the Physics formula's to it.

As for using 3U methods in Physics I doubt you can. How would it fit the marking criteria? Most teachers won't know how to do it using the 3U maths method.
