Description
Dear learner,
This module covers key concepts in Grade 10 physics, including vector quantities in Unit 1, uniformly accelerated motion in Unit 2, and elasticity and static equilibrium of rigid bodies in Unit 3. Students will explore these topics through a combination of theoretical lessons and practical examples to enhance their understanding of physics concepts and their real-world applications. We highly recommend that students bring a protractor.
