Thanks for catching the typo.

There is a typo in equation 14. I think the code is \propto to produce the proportional symbol.

This is a good page, thanks. If anyone is worried about a lack of content on this site until it is fully updated you might want to head towards 'The Open Door Website' with its fantastic section on IB Physics, both HL and SL. You can find it saburchill[dot]com/physics/chapters[dot]html
Maybe add something on Elastic and Inelastic collisions?
Elastic collisions: (When objects A and B collide and separate)No mechanical energy is lost. Only on the molecular level because, in reality, colliding objects will always lose some energy.
Totally inelastic collision: (When objects A and B collide and stick together) Lots of lost mechanical energy and converted into heat and sound but the momentum is still conserved.
Inelastic collision: (Objects A and B collide, separate but both objects are travelling in the same direction) Some lost energy, not as much as the "totally inelastic collision". As always, momentum is conserved.
Thank you so much for the notes Hank! They really help me understand and apply concepts better and I find them invaluable for exams :) And ignore ungrateful fools like Alex, your writing style is great! It's all really easy to read and understand without being too simplified.
Thanks! :)
I guess you'll have to question my credibility. Cause my grammar has never been so good. I wish I could write perfectly, but I can't… Sorry. That's why I teach math and physics not writing or literature.
*They should be changed to more quickly and more easily.
Correct your grammar, please. It makes me question your credibility when you don't use proper grammar. Examples can be seen in the very first section. Quicker and easier are adjectives. You used them both to modify verbs. The should be changed to more quickly and more easily.

I'm not teaching physics at the moment so this site is on the back burner. So sorry no questions getting posted in the near future.
I'll give you three suggestions:
- Do a search for IB Exams. Something is likely to popup
- This site has multiple choice problems
- Or follow this link (Google Docs) to my old homework that I gave students. Solutions are often included. I haven't looked at those docs for 5 years so no promises on quality or such. The files can all be downloaded. Have at it.

is there any chance we can recieve questions that deal with the topics you explained. If not, do you know any website which offers such questions. But great guide, and thanks for your effort.

the sign should be positive if the observer is approaching the source and negative if the observer is moving away
Glad you find them useful. I found a few and fixed a few of the errors… Man do I need to proof these better, the conversion from Word to Wiki was rough.
OMG, these notes are amazing. merci!
Glad you find it useful! Needs some updating…

Fantastic resource! I strongly recommend revising from this website once you've read the textbook material at least once. :D Much faster and more efficient than re-reading the confusing textbook! =)
Hey, Your site is very helpful, but why don't you explain all of the assessment statements? For example, 3.3.6 and 3.3.7.

Thanks a lot! I love your format of writing the response under each assessment criteria. Will visit this site frequently for help!

^ helpful, check the ppt.

What exactly is the difference between heat capacity and specific heat capacity?
hell i don't understand any of your points make it more simple to understnds
