MQ Physics Bridging Course (Online) 2021 1-5 FEB

Physics Bridging Course Prepares You For Studies In Physics, Astronomy, Engineering, Medical Sciences, And Related Disciplines. It Provides Learning Support, A Useful Refresher And A Solid Foundation For Your University Studies In Science.*

If you have not completed physics to HSC level or equivalent, this course is recommended to give you background knowledge to support your studies in:

• PHYS1510 / PHYS1520 or PHYS1020 / PHYS1010.
• WPHY1510 / WPHY1520.

It is also excellent preparation for:

• PHYS1210 and a foundation for the GAMSAT.
• Foundations for engineering units such as MECH1001, CIVL1001 etc.

The course covers the following topics:

• Foundation for science: Units, scientific notation, orders of magnitude, accuracy and precision.
• Kinematics: Vectors, scalars, and properties of motion.
• Mechanics: Forces, equilibrium, dynamics, Newton's laws, gravity, momentum, energy and power.
• Waves: Sound and electromagnetic waves, wave propagation and wave properties.
• Properties of matter: Constituents of matter, thermal properties of matter, fluids and ideal gases.
• Electrostatics and magnetism: Electrical and magnetic phenomena, and electronic circuits.
• Atomic, quantum, and nuclear physics.
