30 minutes
20 marks

Note this is equivalent to 2 of the usual quizzes and will carry double the weightage.

Date:
Advanced Physics Quiz 4 will be conducted on Wednesday (18 July) in Week 4.

The only topic tested will be the turning effect of forces.

This covers:
– Everything in chapter 4
– Assignment 4.1 and 4.2

Format:
Total number of marks: 10
Duration: 15 minutes

A couple of mind maps produced by Mr Ang may help in your revision and seeing how the parts of a topic fit together.

Paper 1 (same as IP Physics) 1h30 and Paper 2 (Advanced Physics) 30min will be given simultaneously. ie you will have 2 hours to complete both papers.

Softcopy of the handout given in class can be downloaded here.*

*modified slightly to reflect the papers being taken in one two-hour sitting.

The topics tested are:
1) Free-fall
2) Equations of Motion
2) Types of Force
3) Free-body Diagrams

(Practical Lesson – Monday, 5 February)

In this experiment you are asked to measure the time taken for a ball to fall from large heights.

Click on the leave a comment link to give details of precautions you took to ensure your results were as accurate as possible.

Try to list down all of the things you did to make sure you got the best results you could.

I am expecting a photo / image / video as well as a few words to explain what you were doing.

Mr Shone

Some photos / videos taken during the session:

You were given the following challenges:

Some  of the photos of the teams in action:

and the results:

Questions to think about:

1. Why did you undertake the challenge in the way you did?
2. If you were to do the same challenge again would you do it in the same way?
3. In what way were the challenges like a science experiment?
4. In what way were the challenges different from a science experiment?
5. Which topics of science (physics) are involved in your challenge?
