Unit 2: Linear Motion and Waves Physics
In this unit, students develop an appreciation of how an understanding of motion and waves can be used to describe, explain and predict a wide range of phenomena. Students describe linear motion in terms of position and time data, and examine the relationships …

Rationale/Aims Physics
Rationale Physics is a fundamental science that endeavours to explain all the natural phenomena that occur in the universe. Its power lies in the use of a comparatively small number of assumptions, models, laws and theories to explain a wide range of …

ACSPH025
Energy transfers and transformations in mechanical systems (for example, internal and external combustion engines, electric motors) always result in some heat loss to the environment, so that the usable energy is reduced and the system cannot be 100 percent …

ACSPH144
Lepton number and baryon number are examples of quantities that are conserved in all reactions between particles; conservation laws can be used to support or invalidate proposed reactions

ACSPH023
A system with thermal energy has the capacity to do mechanical work (that is, to apply a force over a distance); when work is done, the internal energy of the system changes
ACSPH023 | Content Descriptions | Unit 1 | Physics | Science | Senior secondary curriculum
ACSPH024
Because energy is conserved, the change in internal energy of a system is equal to the energy added or removed by heating plus the work done on or by the system

ACSPH096
When a mass moves or is moved from one point to another in a gravitational field and its potential energy changes, work is done on or by the field
ACSPH096 | Content Descriptions | Unit 3 | Physics | Science | Senior secondary curriculum
ACSPH105
When a charged body moves or is moved from one point to another in an electric field and its potential energy changes, work is done on or by the field
ACSPH105 | Content Descriptions | Unit 3 | Physics | Science | Senior secondary curriculum
ACSPH065
Energy is conserved in isolated systems and is transferred from one object to another when a force is applied over a distance; this causes work to be done and changes to kinetic and/or potential energy of objects
