Motion and physics (1 Viewer)

[Mightymullet]

Hey guys,
I was wondering, for someone who isn't doing physics, would learning mechanics and circular motion be a difficult task? opposed to someone who is doing physics for their HSC.

 

[tashe]

No, not at all.

Mechanics isn't a hard topic to understand. I will be more worried about Inequalities and Probability (both under harder 3U).

Back to the question, as long as you understand that you can consider a motion in components (i.e. horizontal and vertical (same as physics)) then you're fine.

It's a nicely constructed topic. It starts you off with simple mechanics (like resisted motion which is ONE DIRECTION) and slowly builds you into circular motion, banked track and other stuff. It's easy to grasp.

Someone doing physics would have little advantage over someone that isn't. HSC physics doesn't even come close to touching on the maths that you will use in mechanics, so while they might have a little advantage with the concepts of mechanics, it will be an even playing field when it comes to the maths.

 

[Mightymullet]

Okay, thanks guys! That's reassuring haha.

Just one thing. Doing prelim Physics was a little help for me and I had already learnt the concepts before hand.

However, this doesn't place you at a disadvantage, because it is super easy to learn these concepts and you should have no problems.

Ahaha 'super easy', that's a relief.
But i think memorising the formulas will be a pain early on.

You barely need to memorise formulas.

You just derive them as you go.

Only some formulas will require memorising (barely though) and if you do consistent work you will already know them off by heart.

Wait until next term in physics (I believe you're doing motors and generators next).

You will definitely hear your teacher say "The DC current moves in one direction" at least once.

That would be the time when you sing your post.

Mechanics in extension 2 mathematics is pretty much glorified integration, you don't need to do physics to get a good grasp of it

Yeah that's why I said at the start haha

HAHAHA dis guy, seems like a true 1D fan

Nah like conical pendulums and those stuff but yeah, cheers bro.

Oh, you know?

You've been looking ahead?

Not really, went to a TSFX lecture and it went over circular motion.

 

[tashe]

Alright. Are those HSC lectures good? Do you go to tutor?

They were alright i suppose, the guy was pretty good at explaining the topics. And nope, I don't go tutor.

haha even conical pendulums, the concept of it is mostly algebra, and is beyond the scope of hsc physics anyway, you will be deriving formulae that you otherwise just assume in hsc physics, so you will still be perfectly fine without doing physics

HAHAHAHA noo just a tradition to piss people off LOL
