Physics — high school

Physics is not learned by memorising: it is learned by recognising which few laws govern a problem. It is the subject where the day job helps most — kinematics, dynamics, oscillations and energy are what I use daily on a racing car.

What you will be able to do

What you will be able to do

  • Work out which law governs a problem before hunting for a formula
  • Draw a correct free-body diagram
  • Check an answer against its units and its order of magnitude

The first meeting is free.

It is there to work out where to actually start. If I do not think I can help, I will say so.
