High School (11–12) Physics

A workshop for the harder side of oscillations, at the level of JEE Advanced, A-Level Physics and IB Higher Level. Springs with pulleys and moving supports, rods, wires and liquids, small swings found from an energy curve, two motions added together, and damped and driven oscillators with the quality factor. It goes beyond the three free courses and ends with a full timed paper.

A petrol engine, a diesel lorry and a jet engine all turn heat into work, and no two of them follow the same cycle. Here we follow gases along paths that lie between the four standard ones, work out the efficiency of real engine cycles, and find the entropy of an ideal gas. The level is that of JEE Advanced, A-Level Further Physics and IB Higher Level, and the course ends with a full timed paper.

A bowling ball skids and then rolls. A bullet strikes a hinged door. A tall cupboard topples before it slides. This course takes rolling, angular momentum and statics to the harder level: which way the friction acts and when slipping stops, a wheel climbing a step, collisions with rods and discs, toppling, and the moment of inertia of built-up bodies. The problems are at the level of JEE Advanced, A-Level Physics and IB Higher Level, with a full timed paper.

A pulley that moves twice as far as the load it lifts. A crate that slips on a truck that starts too hard. A toy that swings forward in a braking bus. Here Newton's laws meet many bodies at once: strings and constraints, stacked blocks and wedges, accelerating and rotating frames, and loops and banked bends. The problems are at the level of JEE Advanced, A-Level Physics and IB Higher Level, with a long timed paper.

A ball thrown up a hill lands somewhere new, and a ball thrown from a moving lorry follows two paths at once. Here you handle throws on slopes and from moving platforms, and you find the farthest point that any throw can reach. You follow two ships to see how close they come, and you describe a car that speeds up on a bend. The problems are at the level of JEE, A-Level Physics and IB Higher Level, with a long timed paper.

Beyond the textbook: lenses measured by the displacement method, a lens in a liquid, a lens cut in two or silvered on one face, apparent depth through layers, and the full derivations for the prism. The level of JEE Advanced, A-Level and IB Higher Level, with a full timed paper.
