    What do I need to know from year 10 physics to be able to do year 11 and year 12 physics?

    I forgot components of year 10 physics and I just want to know if there is anything essential I need to know from year 10 to move onto year 11 and year 12 without a problem. What would I need to revise and brush up? Thanks

    chem vs phys??

    i only plan to pick one of chem/phys, which one should I pick? hows the difficulty/workload for each subject? ive heard that chem starts hard then gets easy, while phys starts easy then gets rlly hard?? i dont plan to do a science-related degree (eg med/compsci) so that shouldn't influence my...

    School Prohibiting Subject

    My brother is in year 10 and is starting his subject selection process now, the school has not "recommended" him for physics so he is unable to do the subject. The school gives a recommendation for some subjects to dictate what subjects students can do. He is doing pretty well in year 10...

    Electromagnetism Question

    I am stuck on this module 6 electromagnetism question: 'Two charged parallel plates have a potential difference of 35.0 V. How far apart must these two plates be so that a point charge of -4.0*10^-8 C with a mass of 2.5*10^-6 kg will be exactly suspended against gravity?" I dont have a...

    Is Sigma Science Good for Physics?

    Could anyone with past experience with Sigma Science or knowledge about it please answer. I've heard a lot of good feedback about it, but want to hear from a student who goes there as well how they find it and what makes it different to other tutoring centres.

    Can someone explain how to determine density using absorbption spectrum?

    So basically I was watching a vid and this dude said when there is high density there is more collisions (which i understand why) but he also said they change the energy of the electrons' orbitals which I dont get how that relates to density........ This is my explanation to it but im unsure if...

    Does anyone have any physics practical exams / past papers which only assess practical knowledge (no module knowledge)?

    Does anyone have any past papers of prac exams where content knowledge is not assessed and only skills are included (i.e doing the prac, validity, uncertainties, graphing, reliability, estimating using the line of best fit, etc. etc.)? I'm doing an assessment like this soon (no content assessed...

    Physics coaching year 11 - Ace, Matrix or Sigma?

    i’m a current year 11 student studying at a top 10 selective school, and I’m deciding whether I should do physics coaching at ace or matrix. I’ve heard mixed opinions on ace and matrix but sigma has mainly positive reviews. I’ve finished module two study at my old physics coaching and I think...

    Does your school's performance of the subject affect your mark?

    Hi guys. I am currently in year 11 and thinking about year 12. I currently take 3U math, physics and chemistry (and other subjects) and I am thinking about dropping physics and do 4U math. I personally like both physics and math but I need to make a choice to drop either of them next year. I've...

    Physics Year 11 Assessment task 1

    I just finished my first assessment today and I felt really dumb. honestly the first module is so easy and I made so many silly mistakes and I don't know what to do. I really enjoy physics but now I am thinking about dropping it next year... I don't know if I can get an A in the assessment. how...

    What are some things I could test for with this motor for a physics depth study?

    Hey all, For an experimental report / depth study (with the theme of 'Analyse electric and magnetic interactions due to charged particles, currents, and/or fields.'), I would like to make an experiment that involves the motor with a gear box as seen in the attatcehd image (Single Motor 4 Speed...

    What are some ideas for an experiment on electromagnetism for physics mod 6?

    Hey all, I will be conducting an experiment and writing a report on it (depth study) based on the theme of: 'Analyse electric and magnetic interactions due to charged particles, currents, and/or fields'. This experiment must be 'engaging' / creative (because otherwise, I lose marks in the...

    How to Get Better At Theory Based Responses

    Hi, What are the best ways for one to improve their responses in theory based questions. The numericals are fine, however I am noticing that I am consistently losing an average of one mark per question, on the theory based questions. What is the best strategy to improve my marks in these areas...

    How often should I revise

    Hi, What is the best revision strategy to stay fresh with content especially for physics and chem? I have noticed the test papers ask very niche questions, where you are required to remember very small details about all the chapters in order to go up to the higher b5/b6 mark. So how often...
