Module 2 Physics

This document provides an overview of the modules covered in Level 2 of the physics curriculum for the International Centre for Aerospace Training (ICAT). Module 2.1 covers matter, its states, and changes between states. Module 2.2 addresses mechanics, including forces, movement, momentum, and fluid dynamics. Module 2.3 discusses thermodynamics, temperature, heat transfer, gases and their laws, and phase changes. Modules 2.4 and 2.5 cover optics, light, wave motion, sound, and related concepts. The levels of completion for topics within each module are indicated with codes.
