HSC Extension Two Maths Mechanics Exam

Use arrows on the side of the screen to move between pages.

Important: These tests take time to write, if you’re in a position consider buying me a coffee so I can keep doing this in the long term.

Below is a skills checklist I wrote based on the syllabus, if you can do everything listed below you should be in a good position for both your school’s mechanics test and the mechanics questions in the HSC.

  • Understand simple harmonic motion

  • Prove a particle is undergoing simple harmonic motion

  • Understand the relationship between displacement, velocity and acceleration

  • Use Newton’s laws

  • Derive and use the equations of motion for a particle travelling in a straight line resisted and unresisted

  • Solve problems involving particles in resistive mediums

  • Understand the concept of terminal velocity

  • Use parametric and cartesian equations to solve projectile motion questions

  • Solve projectile motion questions for particles in resistive mediums and under the influence of gravity
