out of the syllabus? (1 Viewer)

[:: ck ::]

is chapter four of the old jacaranda physics (not new revised edition - if there is one?) taken out of the syllabus?

this chapter talks about :

- limitations of current maximum velocities for space travel, in particular their inadequacy for viable extended journeys

- discuss the selection of microwaves as opposed to radio waves for space communication

-describe some of the difficulties of communication of satellites and spacecraft - in partcular, distance, the van allen radiation belts and ionosphere, and the solar cycle as indicated by sunspot activity

imma lost coz we never did this stuff at skool / tutor
(or mayb i wasnt paying attention)

Yeah they took out an entire section of the syllabus and replaced it with a different section. They replaced "Future Space Travel" with "The Solar System is held together by Gravity"

Which means the Jacaranda textbook wont help you with the 3rd secition (I have it as well Grrrrr) but its pretty easy.

I don't know if they just moved it, I really couldnt be bothered looking through excel (I acquired it off my brother after 2001) for the old physics syllabus to compare them.
