Master Advanced Level Physics Concepts (A2) – Part 1
This course deals with concepts in Newtonian Mechanics in three interrelated areas of study comprising Uniform Circular Motion, Gravitation and Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM). For you to understand these concepts you need a knowledge of General Physics especially the concepts of Linear Motion, Dynamics, Work Energy and Power. Good knowledge of these concepts is assumed and although I may review these concepts before introducing any new concept, it would be advisable for you to have studied them at greater depth.A good grasp of Mathematical manipulation is assumed. Knowledge of Calculus is kept to a minimum and where it is used, I will spend more time outlining the concept for its use. Throughout the course, I have put great emphasis on the understanding of the underlying concept as I believe that Physics is a conceptual subject. Once you understand the concept being taught then you can tackle any question that requires application of that concept. Consequently I have spend more time investigating all features that lead to this concept rather than looking at individual applications of the same. Applications of a concept become much simpler once one has a clear incite of what is being tested. It is more like being able to read the mind of the examiner from the keywords that the examiner uses in the question. Physics mainly consists of definitions of new physical quantities. I spend a significant amount of time on investigating these definitions as I’m convinced that without proper grasp of the origin or the root of a concept, one will always struggle with how it is applied. Consequently in my lectures I desist from regurgitating facts. I endeavor to make my student see the origin of that fact. To this end, I will appeal for patience from fast learners or those who have in-depth knowledge of the concept, as sometimes I may appear to teach very basic concepts. This is usually intentional as I’m relying on my long term experience of teaching to avoid pitfalls or stumbling blocks to the understanding of the intended concept. In addition, the fast learner is always glad they headed my advice as they get to see where they went wrong way before I conclude the lecture. In all my lectures I endeavor to view the concept from the learners perspective. Where there is a need to state or to import a fact into the discussion, I will clearly state where I have covered it before so that one can easily make reference. I hope this is something you will find helpful in my course.
