Physics Grade 11: Semester 1

Description

Dear learner,

This module covers key concepts in Grade 11 physics, including the role of physics in society, physics communities, vector types, graphical and algebraic methods of vector addition, uniformly accelerated motion, Newton’s laws, friction, energy conservation, impulse, and momentum. It also emphasizes the importance of designing online learning activities and assessments to promote academic integrity, authenticity, learner engagement, and skill development. The module encourages reflection on how to structure activities to foster academic integrity, real-world applications, universal design for learning, and community building in an online environment.

Competencies

By the end of the module, you should be able to

• Demonstrate an understanding of how physics contributes to societal progress and how knowledge in physics is constructed.
• Explain the societal applications of physics and its impact on modern developments.
• Discuss recent advancements or discoveries in the field of physics.
• Understand the role of physics communities in shaping research and development.
• Apply vector resolution techniques to resolve vectors into their x and y components and perform graphical vector addition.
• Calculate and apply scalar (dot) products of vectors and determine the components of forces in a given system.
• Analyze and solve problems involving uniformly accelerated motion, uniform circular motion, Newton’s laws of motion, and conservation of linear momentum, including graphical representations and work-energy calculations.
