    S4 – changing state

    We finished the Energy Matters topic last week.  Here are some notes with worked examples to show how we calculate the heat energy required to change the state of matter.  Values of Lf and Lv are provided inside the front cover of a question paper. We’ll finish off the course by looking at Space Physics.

    S4 forces and seatbelts

    We’ve been learning about forces in class and today we looked at how car seatbelts use forces to keep us safe.  Mr Mallon’s HelpMyPhysics site has a short video that demonstrates how a monkey can stay safe during a trolley collision when it is given a seatbelt. Here is a seatbelt advert from Sussex, the ... Read more
