Physics 10 electives – physics at work, Earth and sky, physics and the environment

PhysicsPhysics & the EnvironmentAges 15–16

Three Physics 10 elective topics in one simulation, switchable with the topic parameter. Physics at work: a lifting machine from construction, agriculture, or elevator work raises a load, and you compute the work A = mgh, the power P = F·v, and the machine's efficiency. Earth and sky: pick a latitude and a day of the year to watch the Sun rise, reach its highest point, and set across the sky dome, while measuring its altitude angle and the day length. Physics and the environment: Earth's energy balance, where changing the CO₂ level shows how the average surface temperature changes.
