Assam Higher Secondary Physics · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Physical World, Units, Measurement and Kinematics & Laws of Motion, Work, Energy and Power

  • Convert between SI base and derived units, and apply dimensional analysis to check three unfamiliar equations from memory

  • Record every error from this week in an error log with the correct method beside it

Your checkpoint

Week 2

Physical World, Units, Measurement and Kinematics & Laws of Motion, Work, Energy and Power
