Module 5 Advanced Mechanics

FOCUSCONTENT In this module you will:

~ Describe and analyse qualitatively and quantitatively circular motion and motion in a gravitational field, in particular, the projectile motion of particles.

~ Explain and analyse motion in one dimension at constant velocity or constant acceleration.

~ Extend your study of motion into examples involving two or three dimensions that cause the net force to vary in size or direction.

~ Develop an understanding that all forms of complex motion can be explained by analysing the forces acting on a system, including the energy transformations taking place within and around the system.

~ Apply new mathematical techniques to model and predict the motion of objects within systems. You will examine two-dimensional motion, including projectile motion and uniform circular motion, along with the orbital motion of planets and satellites, which are modelled as an approximation to uniform circular motion.

~ Engage with all the Working Scientifically skills for practical investigations involving the focus content to examine trends in data and to solve problems related to advanced mechanics.
