Thank you. Good luck with prep and the road ahead! I have personally tutored many students from non-science backgrounds and I know for a fact that you are not as disadvantaged with Section 3 as you might think :)
Hi Barry! Loving the content! Just wanted to clarify that I am on the right track here, regarding the answer (D). Is it due to the low escaping velocity required for particles to escape the gravitational pull of Pluto, that ultimately classifies it as the planet to likely have an absent atmosphere. In conjunction, because it is easier to meet the threshold of leaving the planet, there are less particles to be present. (Since an atmosphere is defined by a composition of gaseous particles - i.e. H2, O2, CO2 and N2)
Hey! These videos are super duper helpful. Would you also consider using the graph? I found myself referring to it as a last option just to confirm my answer as it is jusssst approximate enough to see that gases were sparse at low speeds
Hi Alex! The graph serves to show us how the average molecular speed varies between different gases, and that there is a trend between speed and molecular weight. This particular question is asking us to compare the different planets, so the graph is not relevant in this situation. Hope that makes sense!
@tutoring Hi Barry, thanks for clarifying. I would have used the graph in an actual exam setting as Pluto has the slowest speed. Based on the graph, low speed means no gaseous particles as they have already escaped (close to zero). I guess I still need to work on my interpretation of the questions...=(
You can try out the GAMSAT S3 Strategy Classes on my Teachable site. However, I've got newer content coming soon. Are you sitting this September, or March 2022?
Hi Hadram, I purchased mine a while ago so things might have changed. I like using Microsoft Excel and my experiences with the Mac versions in the past put me off getting an Apple. At the time, Samsung equivalents were quite new so wasn't prepared to risk it when I knew a Surface Pro would serve my needs. Are you thinking to get something to help with GAMSAT prep?
Great video. I’ve got a way to go (non science background) but content like this certainly helps 👍

Hi Meng, couldn't have explained it better! Nice work :)
@@barrystutoring Thank you! Appreciate the reply. Looking forward to more content in the future 😁
Ahhhh I thought Jupiter as the gas particles could be more likely to be impeded by the escape velocity to form an atmosphere.
Thanks!
Glad you found the video helpful :)

Hi, is your online course still for sale?
Yes, you can check them out on thescienceofgamsat.teachable.com :)
This is amazing
Thanks! Do check out my other videos :)
Hi Barry. Which course would you recommend to adapt to this strategic approach of tackling questions

@@barrystutoring I’m going to be sitting September as a practice run but March 2022 is my ultimate goal and would like it to be final
@@barrystutoring what would the new content include?
@@passrrr2030 feel free to message me via my Facebook page and I'll send more info :)
Are you using the Ipad Pro?
Hi Hadram! I'm using a Surface Pro :)
@@barrystutoring Do you find the extra screen size a plus over the apple and Samsung equivalent?
