Eternalx Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Someone please find me a simple revision guide for this, i have no idea about how to do this topic it's HARD. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahuta ♥ Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Can't you find it? Try finding one online and purchasing it, or find a site, there are lot of sites for revision.I dont take physics..but just suggesting. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abu Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Go find it yourself. Do we look like slaves to you?What do you find hard in the subject? Maybe someone here can help you out. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashika Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 I'm pretty sure this is the only physics I can do haha.But yeah, go do your own research! Then ask for help Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilia Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Ask your teacher and make sure that you understand sine functions in maths Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
meh Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 If you're completely unknowledgeable about the topic, it would be best to speak with the teacher about it and at least gain a basic understanding. Or I'm sure a basic google search will turn up some useful resources Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermine0817 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Ask your teacher and make sure that you understand sine functions in mathsWould agree to this. It's much easier to get the oscillations and waves after you have finished differentiation in circular functions. Else, read the study guide if you have one. That was enough in my case.

Even mechanics is easier after you've done differentiation and integration. (The usefulness of calculus in oscillations and waves was already discussed above.) I think even that the section calculus was actually "invented" or "investigated" by Newton just to solve the physics problems. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashika Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 According to what people tell me, a lot of things in physics get easier when you konw calculus.I didn't find that And this is after doing IB Math and 2 university calculus courses.

SharkSpider Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I didn't find that And this is after doing IB Math and 2 university calculus courses.It's very true.For SHM, velocity is the rate of change of distance and acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. This allows you to derive the formulae for force, maximum acceleration, maximum speed, the spring constant, etc. without memorizing anything.For gravitation, gravitational potential is the integral of gravitational force (Ie. work), before calc, I never understood why the inverse square law suddenly became the inverse law for V.

deissi Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Basic mechanics does become a lot easier when you start applying what you've learned about derivatives and integrals into the stuff you know. However, IB seems to be very anti calculus in Physics even at HL, which really is a shame. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilia Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Nice Then I don't have worry too much about having problems drawing an acceleration-time graph from a velocity-time one. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
