Module 5 - Advanced Mechanics
Module 5: Advanced Mechanics is the first module of Year 12 HSC Physics. In this module, students build upon their knowledge of rectilinear and 2-dimensional motion from Year 11.
Students begin to examine applications of projectile and circular motion in various situations as well as mechanics in the context of space.

Section 3 (M5-S4): Full-flight Projectile Motion: Maximum Height, Time of Flight and Range
Section 4 (M5-S5): Half-flight and Incomplete Projectile Motion
Circular Motion
Section 5: (M5-S5) Introduction to Circular Motion
Section 6: (M5-S6) Circular Motion in a Variety of Situations
