shud i start studying the physics VCE course considering the fact that i haven't done it for VCE and is probabz gonna take do something relevant to chem engineering @ uni?... thanks... * i wish i could stop asking questions*
well the limit can turn into a threshold..

Hey monokekie,

I love all of these questions you are asking :) :) It lets you and other potential Chem Eng'ers what they are getting into :D

Yes, there are some physics involved in Chem Engineering but don't worry, its not that complex (I think).
A lot of people in my Chem Eng course has had no prior physics knowledge and they seem to manage well - we learn best by doing the tutorial questions they give to us.
Im not sure how much of VCE Physics would be relevant to Chem Eng because I have no idea what the VCE Physics course is like.

You might want to go over some of the energy stuff in unit 3 (kinetic energy, potential energy, total mechanical energy), since most lecturers assumes everyone knows these concepts and take as long as 10 seconds to explain them. Other than that, you don't really have to worry about it :)

lol...don't worry about it. only thing that comes to mind is in calc 2 when we had to calculate masses on strings and stuff....can't even remember. i wouldn't bother. enjoy your holidayssss!!! its beach season....
