Cosmic engine for HSC (1 Viewer)

[kazemagic]

Hey guys,
Do I need to know cosmic engine module to understand HSC physics?

Sorry if the question sounded dumb, it's cos im self studying physics and want to start the HSC course ASAP.

Thanks

From memory it will help a bit if you do the astrophysics option in the HSC otherwise i think the only useful thing is blackbody radiation which you will need some understanding of for Ideas to Implementation

oh, kelper's laws and newtons law of gravitation are covered in cosmic engine i think, these will be useful for the HSC Space module but you go over it again anyway in the HSC.

oh alright so i can just skip it, since its going to be relearnt in the HSC
thanks!

I would just say if you're that keen on learing HSC work, get the HSC and the Prelim textbook, do the HSC work and if you can't get the concept then go back to prelim book.

the astrophysics option comes from the prelim topic on cosmic engine (which is studied by default) so yeah. If you are going to venture into astrophysics there is some theory lol

you would need to know some parts of cosmic engine to do the HSC space topic (not astrophysics). So far the Kepler's law is covered in prelim, but in HSC it is covered in more detail and stuff. I don't think I remember stuff on newton's law of gravitation being covered in prelim. But the HSC space topic is a little bit different than prelim's cosmic engine so it shouldn't affect you too much. But if you were to do astrophysics (which is covered really late.. as in term 3 year 12 so I doubt it would be of much use until then) you should study and master cosmic engine in prelim first.

whats the meaning of 'cosmic engine'?

yea thx, but i think it would save me a lot more time just to get over prelim work first

yea thanks ill be skipping it

notsureifsrs
but it's just a set of topics in prelim physics

I'd skip it tbh, I barely did anything for it in prelim. Anything needed from it in HSC is re-learnt.
