Year 12 Physics excursion to Luna Park.
Riding the attractions at Melbourne’s Luna Park! To accompany “Motion in one and two dimensions” for Unit 3 of the VCE Physics Study Design, Melbourne students are invited to test the shifting g-forces on their favourite rides! Its hands-on study and loads of fun!
Year 11 Physics Excursion to the 2017 F1 Grand Prix
Students have the chance to immerse themselves in the world of Formula One, and get captivated by the innovative technology that governs the sport by attending the 2017 Formula 1® Rolex Australian Grand Prix for FREE*.
This assessment task will be in the format of a written test consisting of short answer and multiple choice questions. Students will be provided with 10 minutes reading time and 60 minute writing time.
Students will be permitted a scientific calculator and a single sided A4 summary sheet. The summary sheet may be hand written, computer generated, photocopied or commercially produced.
The test will be testing your knowledge and understanding of the electrical theory covered in Chapters 4 & 5 of the Jacaranda Physics text.
This research assessment task is due by 3:20pm on Monday the 8th of May. It can be emailed to myself via the college’s email.
Mark deductions will occur in the vent of late submission. Please ensure that your work is original and can be authenticated.

Year 12 Physics SAC #2 – Class 1
Area of Study 1: How do things move without contact?
Outcome 1: On completion of this unit the student should be able to analyse gravitational, electric and magnetic fields, and use these to explain the operation of motors and particle accelerators and the orbits of satellites.
Teacher Handouts:
Section 3.1.1 – Gravitational Fields
Section 3.1.2 – Electric Fields
Section 3.1.3 – Magnetic Fields
Section 3.1.4 – DC Motors
Section 3.1.5 – Magnetic Forces on Charged Particles
Jacaranda Textbook Reference:
Chapter 4 Gravitational Fields
Chapter 5 Electric Fields
Chapter 6 Magnetic Fields
Task Description:
This SAC will be formatted as a written test. Some questions will be short answer and other multiple choice. 70 minutes will be allocate to complete the task with 10 minutes of this allocated to rad over the test.
Students are permitted to bring a scientific calculator and a single sided A4 summary sheet
How best to prepare:
Students are encouraged to read over the handouts provided by teacher and the relevant chapters form the Jacaranda text. Stduents are advised to review the topic via Edrolo. Students are advised to produce their own single sided A4 summary sheet. Students are advised to attempt the 3 Jacaranda topics tests (Chapters 4-6) as well as the VCAA 2017 practice paper (and relevant past VCAA papers). Past itute papers may also be of benefit.
NB: This is a new study design and as such their are no past papers written specifically for this area of study. You can find questions across past papers however they are spread across previously allocated areas of study.
