In the Physics course, we will revise the entire Space module, and cover the entire Motors and Generators module in great detail. Unlike some of our competitor's holiday courses, our classes are small, fun, and most importantly, INTERACTIVE. You will be given plenty of opportunity to ask questions in class.
This course aims to prepare you for your half-yearlies at school. By completely revising what you should have learned in term 4, and learning the second module ahead of your peers at school, this course will give you a much needed competitive advantage against your peers at school.
Remember, in year 12, all assessments count towards determining your rank at school, which makes up for 50% of your final HSC assessment. How well you do relative to your peers at school is a huge determinant to your ATAR (50%). This course therefore aims to help you PREPARE EARLY for your term 1 Physics assessments and half-yearlies.
In Part 1, your teacher will revise the entire first module: Space. We realise that Physics heavily involves calculation skills, so our teachers will focus on providing you with the skills to tackle the calculation-type questions, such as those involving Universal Gravitation, Gravitational Potential Energy, Newton's laws, and Einstein's Special Relativity. We will provide an in-depth look at common areas students find difficult, such as fully understanding how and why time dilation / length contraction occurs, and proper understanding of inertial and accelerating frames of reference.
Your teacher will also cover the common 'discussion areas' of the Space module, such as the forces involved in rocket flight, contributions of early rocketry pioneers, the principle of relativity, and the Michelson-Morley experiment.
In Part 2, your teacher will cover the module: Motors and Generators. Your teachers will again provide you with the calculation skills to tackle any type of Physics question, such as those involving torque, forces on conductors, forces on charged particles, forces on parallel conductors, torque from a motor, and transformer input / output.
Your teacher will also give you a complete understanding of how Lenz's Law operates, as this concept is central to this module. We will also discuss how the various types of AC and DC motors work, how AC and DC generators work, and why Back EMF occurs. Last but not least, we will comprehensively cover the AC versus DC debate, the impacts on society / environment resulting from motors, generators and transformers, and similar discussion areas that are likely to come up as a 6-8 mark Assess / Evaluate / Discuss exam question.
Near the end of Part 2, your teacher will provide a brief overview of the third module: From Ideas to Implementation, covering the common areas students have difficulty with.
