ACSPH098

The vector nature of the gravitational force can be used to analyse motion on inclined planes by considering the components of the gravitational force (that is, weight) parallel and perpendicular to the plane

ACSPH099

Projectile motion can be analysed quantitatively by treating the horizontal and vertical components of the motion independently

ACSPH100

When an object experiences a net force of constant magnitude perpendicular to its velocity, it will undergo uniform circular motion, including circular motion on a horizontal plane and around a banked track

ACSPH101

Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation is used to explain Kepler’s laws of planetary motion and to describe the motion of planets and other satellites, modelled as uniform circular motion

ACSPH102

Electrostatically charged objects exert a force upon one another; the magnitude of this force can be calculated using Coulomb’s Law

ACSPH103

Point charges and charged objects produce an electric field in the space that surrounds them; field theory attributes the electrostatic force on a point charge or charged body to the presence of an electric field

ACSPH104

A positively charged body placed in an electric field will experience a force in the direction of the field; the strength of the electric field is defined as the force per unit charge

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

ACSPH106

Current-carrying wires are surrounded by magnetic fields; these fields are utilised in solenoids and electromagnets

ACSPH107

The strength of the magnetic field produced by a current is called the magnetic flux density

ACSPH108

Magnets, magnetic materials, moving charges and current-carrying wires experience a force in a magnetic field; this force is utilised in DC electric motors

ACSPH109

Magnetic flux is defined in terms of magnetic flux density and area

ACSPH110

A changing magnetic flux induces a potential difference; this process of electromagnetic induction is used in step-up and step-down transformers, DC and AC generators, and AC induction motors

ACSPH111

Conservation of energy, expressed as Lenz’s Law of electromagnetic induction, is used to determine the direction of induced current

ACSPH112

Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves made up of mutually perpendicular, oscillating electric and magnetic fields

ACSPH113

Oscillating charges produce electromagnetic waves of the same frequency as the oscillation; electromagnetic waves cause charges to oscillate at the frequency of the wave

ACSPH114

Identify, research and construct questions for investigation; propose hypotheses; and predict possible outcomes

ACSPH115

Design investigations, including the procedure to be followed, the materials required, and the type and amount of primary and/or secondary data to be collected; conduct risk assessments; and consider research ethics

ACSPH116

Conduct investigations, including use of simulations and manipulation of spectral devices, safely, competently and methodically for the collection of valid and reliable data

ACSPH117

Represent data in meaningful and useful ways, including using appropriate SI units, symbols and significant figures; organise and analyse data to identify trends, patterns and relationships; identify sources of uncertainty and techniques to minimise these …
