Year 11 physics questions? (1 Viewer)

[jamaicanricerat]

I'm in year 11 and I feel kind of worried in regards to practicing concepts and stuff for the content I've learned because my physics teacher doesn't really give us structured questions. I have textbooks but I'm not sure how helpful their questions are either (just the standard Jacaranda, Focus and Pearson). So am I worrying about nothing and going along should be fine or is there some place to get some harder exam-style questions for year 11 physics content. (yes, I have some past papers but nothing by topic or module)
Thanks for your help!

Hey there, my name is Rish. I would strongly recommend finding a support system that can help you with questions and explanations for Physics. If you take a look around on websites such as this one you can generally find some resources, but it can be harder for Year 11 compared to Year 12.

Textbook questions are a good starting point and you should definitely practice them. It's also important to have something on top of this as textbook questions don't mimic school exam ones, so you'll be lacking practice in that area.

I've been tutoring for 5 years, including as a Head of Chemistry at a tutoring centre, and have recently launched my own tutoring service: Jain HSC.

I'm holding a Year 11 Phys and Chem crash course for Module 2 on Saturday 20th April 2024 where I'd love to help you better understand how to break down and answer questions. You can search up Jain HSC on the Humanitix website, or visit my instagram @jainhsc.

They are priced at $25-30 to help me with room costs, and are available both in-person and online. I'll be giving lots of tips and resources on how to do better in Year 11.

Feel free to comment with any questions or comments!

Is the physics algebra based or calculus based?

hsc physics is all algebra

do we not touch calc phys at all?

nope unfortunately

only thing u need to do is know how to rearrange equations, even for things like velocity which is the derivative of position you just write v= delta x / delta t and do the average

No, you'll most probably revisit physics with a calc approach in 1st year if it's in your program

oh okay.
cause i heard serveral places around the world like the US and all they have algebra based phys and calc based phys

yeah US has two different physics subjects, one with calc and one without

but at least in nsw, the only available high school physics subject uses algebra only (although extension 1/2 mathematics do cover some basic mechanics)

No but you do use calculus knowledge. This equation is for induced emf, and they have asked to find the where the maximum emf is for a sinusoidally changing magnetic flux over time (multiple choice).

better off than my school, we are genuinely cooked in terms of the materials and teaching for physics
