i’m considering doing physics for year 11.

currently my definite subjects r maths ext., modern, econ, chem, eng adv.

does maths ext. aid physics? are all my subjects together too heavy of a workload?

this is a really weird question but what type of person enjoys physics?

i’m considering doing legal instead of physics if i decide not to do it.

I guess it depends on what you want to do in the future? like if you are considering any of the stem fields then physics would theoretically help you? if not then it's better to consider how well you are doing in physics related units in science atm because if you were confident in them then I would personally say to give it a go. If not then don't bother. (Don't take this to heart, I'm the same age as you)

If you like physics then do it. Year 11 physics is boring and doesn't relate to year 12 content. year 12 physics is fun :D
Physics doesn't have alot of math, very conceptually based in especially in year 12.

the only related (sort of) between maths and physics is projectile motion and basic motion and forces. The rest (other than like 4u mechanics) don't really have any correlation. it also has a lot less theory than chem.
