I want to get a head start in 11th grade by taking Applied Physics before Physics in 12th grade?

spookyooky asked:


By removing Forensic Science and replacing it with Applied physics then I would be able to get a head start in learning Physics before everyone in 11th grade. Because Physics is SUPER hard to learn in 12th grade and by taking applied Physics you can learn the basics.

Then in 12th grade I will take Physics and it would be a little bit easier to learn.

Is this a good idea and will college shine upon this?

Do you need to know physics or chemistry to become a doctor?

Hookie22 asked:


I’m in my final year at school and I am currently doing biology, and I want to go into medicine. I have been told that physics and chemistry is really important, especially in the university courses. Is this true?
So… I am hopeless at physics, chem and maths… haven’t done it for 2 years now. I always assumed biology was only recommended, and all the subjects at med school were totally different to what you learn in school. After all, here in Australia there are NO prerequisites for bachelor of medicine courses…

Rousseu asked:


and give sources and different research sites if you may.
Generally, i want to know how physics is important. For example tidal flexing of the moons fo large planets often produces heat, a constant sourc eof energy (case of Europa) etc. Thanks!

How to become good at engineering physics?

Christian asked:


The problems seem quite complex and examples in book aren’t too good to use as a reference to solve a problem. It is really difficult and frustrates me on how to even approach some problems without having enough knowledge on the background of physics. I’m using the 7th Edition of Physics for Scientists and Engineers by Serway/Jewett.

Katherine asked:


I have to do a project for my biology class, on a specific topic.

Does anybody have any ideas on a topic that encompasses both biology and physics, that could make a good project?

* By project I mean research a topic and collect information about it, put it on a presentation board.

Just wondering. The physics of curveballs in baseball is all over the place but breaking pitches in wiffleball are produced differently, I think.

Simple way to show the physics of a ferris wheel?

irishswthrt24 asked:


We are doing a physics project on the ferris wheel. We have all of the needed calculations, but we need some kind of a visual for our presentation tomorrow. We were hoping for something that could be made out of household items and is very simple to make and understand.
