Physics for CAPE® Examinations provides comprehensive coverage of Units 1 and 2 of the CAPE Physics syllabus. A non-calculus treatment of Physics, it has been written to facilitate a smooth transition from high school to tertiary level Physics at regional and international institutions.
The text encourages the ability to apply scientific methods to a range of academic and everyday problems, and sensitises students to pressing global and regional issues such as energy and the environment.
Key features:
• Worked examples and in-text questions help to build understanding and provoke analytical thought
• Practical exercises encourage students to use their knowledge of Physics to plan, carry out, and evaluate their work
• Review questions (including answers) at the end of each chapter test knowledge and how to apply it
• A focus on digital logic and electronics will support students looking to move forwards into engineering
• The School-Based Assessment section gives step-by-step tips to maximise CAPE coursework success
• The Appendix includes a review of mathematics skills required for the course
