Introduction to Year 12 PhysicsIf there is no air between Earth and Mars what does the rocket push against to get to Mars?If almost all of the fuel is used to escape the Earth’s gravity, how can the rocket make all the way to Mars?How do they calculate the orbits around Earth and Mars?What keeps a satellite in orbit? What is weightlessness?How can they work out how much force is required to slow the capsule down in 7 minutes? What is 7g?What alternatives can be used to power a space craft?

Welcome to Stage 2 Physics

You are expected to do about 4 hours of work in Physics per week in addition to programmed time.

Welcome to Stage 2 Physics

1 ½ hours -weekly assignment1 ½ hours -studying and learning from

texts and notes etc 1 hour - Information Search, practical

preparation, essays etc

This is a rough guide only.
