Physics Predictions/Thoughts (1 Viewer)

Uhhh I don't know. I have terrible estimation for long responses. However, assuming that you wrote a substantial amount on each, I'd say 6-7. The main problem is it doesn't have much continuity.

Yeah, the thing is that was my favourite topic in physics and it sucks that I wasn’t able to convey my ideas to the markers. If I’m only losing 2-3 I’m happy with that, as long as I don’t lose more than 4-5 I’m good. Did end up filling the spaces though, so I guess I crammed as much as possible in

How quickly does this forum reckon we can get sols for the paper we did today

 

[nasr7601]

lmao, are u guys all dead after today

lmao, are u guys all dead after today

Pretty much aha, but I don’t think the paper has been posted yet do idk about solutions

 

[Arrowshaft]

how'd you find the paper @nasr7601?

'That threw us off': HSC concludes with challenging final Physics paper

Physics was the last of 16 new syllabuses tested this year in the biggest overhaul of the HSC in two decades.

how'd you find the paper @nasr7601?

Yeah it was genuinely quite enjoyable to do - ngl, there are places where I hemorrhaged marks although the subtle art of knowing your losing marks as you very well commit the crime is intrinsically fulfilling to say the least.

Which questions caused this hemorrhage you speak of

Yo guys what's the method of finding kinetic energy for last q using binding energies

 

[Arrowshaft]

Simply subtract binding energy from kinetic energy of pollonium.

 

[nasr7601]

wait do u remember ur answer for q36?

 

[Arrowshaft]

wait do u remember ur answer for q36?

Like something times 10^-12

Surprisingly the paper hasn't been posted so here you go.

Surprisingly the paper hasn't been posted so here you go.

after an extensive look at the paper. I have made a conclusion. Here are my thoughts

The paper is still just as shit as the old syllabus papers. Literally all it has is 3 'actual' calculations that aren't just trivial substitution.
Lol what a joke, this kind of exam provides nothing but an illusion for future Physics majors. Unless you've done contest Physics, this crap is still useless.

20) - I would say it's a bit too easy just because it's literally a standard scenario students learn in the syllabus. You know the theme park one where there's people inside a centrifuge and the centrifuge is spun but the people stay stuck to the wall. Same thing.

29) - Come ooon. 3 marks for this what a joke. Way too easy. All there is to it is



Should've been 2 marks

30(a) - Poorly written. Instead of a ball, the use of a block would've been ideal. Being a ball it also has a rotational Kinetic energy given by



Like come on say it's a block so you don't break the laws of Physics :\

35 - Useless question. It's so trivial to do and is literally a standard result in Maths Ext 2. Doing 4u literally gives you an advantage :\

Rest of the paper - Total shitshow

*End of rant*

Could someone do the answers to multiple choice and post them up?

I think a couple of your answers are wrong but I’m not too sure.

This was much better then previous years. It had much more explaining question
