In my opinion, I found space the most boring and hardest simply because Space is the subject with more and harder maths questions.

I reckon you'd like the next topic Motors & Generators. At least that is more to do with stuff within Earth :)

Well, i finished yr 12 this yr.... and i did physics.

I enjoyed the whole course... the worst module is Motors & Generators (i hate that shit).

But i reckon all the space stuff is interesting... Its easy to remember cos it makes sense... (cept maybe when u get into relativity, but ive read stephen hawkings' books, so i already knew about that crap)

Enjoy the course!

cheers

for space, make sure you can apply the formulae. there will be some tricky bits in it, eg- inclusion of the radius for F<sub>G</sub>. other then that, you need to spend time on relativity.

Space is not that bad, we are spending extra time on it since we are going to be doing Astrophysics for our option topic

Were only up to Projectile Motion at the moment although, but we also started the HSC course later then most (in about week 5) so it isnt that bad really.

were doing interial frames of reference atm.

and fuck yes it is boring

this topic got interesting at one point when i discovered there was actually gravity in space - people are just apparently weightless cos of there relative orbit to the shuttle~

dunno why i always thought there wasnt :p

our school is starting with motors and generators... i absolutely hate it.. i would have rather started off with space.. mainly becasue our school has decided to leave the space module right before the option of astrophysics.. so if you really want to think it this way, we're doing half a year of space... *yeay*.. NOT... i absolutely hate physics because of the motors/generators toppic.. i do hope it gets better than this....

Yeah I know but first you had VET work placement for 2 weeks (they do the yr 11 and yr 12 work placement at the same time), then we had the school camp then we had crossroads so we actually started at about week 4.5, we'll get the course finished but I might have to do a bit more papers at home rather then at school.

4u maths is much harder and excrutiatingly painful

its hard to imagine ppl hate space..well, it could be the fact our teacher made it heaps interesting...

but hold in there, any problems we are more than happy to help...but most importantly, ask ur teacher, cos he/she most likely can explain better than us...
