5 Introduction What the book includes syllabus for each topic in the Year 11 Physics course: Also included are typical experimental results for students to analyse if the third column of the syllabus indicates Format of the book The book has been formatted in the following way: 1. Main topic statement (column 1 of syllabus) 1.1etc Syllabus requirement from columns 2 and worth in an examination. As a rough rule, every two lines of answer might be worth one mark. Note that in any involved is worth only one mark. How to use the book You may have done work in addition to this with your teacher as extension work. Obviously this is not covered, but you may need to know this additional work for your school exams. spend more time revising later, and allow you to spend your study time more productively.

For example, if the given answer is 58, then accept 57, 58 and 59 as correct Car may slow down (reaches a corner, up a hill, speed bump, pedestrian crossing etc) or speed up (down hill, moving away from stop lights, as it starts etc).
