    Astro dot point: Cluster age from H-R diagram?

    I guess if it was a 4-6 mark question you would have to explain why the O, B and A stars evolve faster in greater depth. i.e. they have a greater mass therefore they consume their fuel at a faster rate etc.

    Did any one here try out for australian idol? if so what happened?

    Well I reackon they probably picked the people to go in front of the judges, after evryone went thru the guy like the one you saw in some backroom... BUT i bet they chose really good people ,but also the other extreme, really crap people that the judges could pay the crap out of to make good...

    National Qualifying Exam

    Is it just a test that people take for fun? It's nothing to do with the HSC?

    Astro dot point: Cluster age from H-R diagram?

    -On a H-R diagram the turn-off point (the highest remaining point of the main sequence) can be used to infer the age of a globular cluster. -As a cluster ages the main sequence shortens from the top as stars progressively evolve into red giants in order of mass. - The lower the turn off point...

    Textual Integrity?

    I'm studying King Lear, and in terms of different readings I think to say the play has textual integrity means that it won't lend itself to every fanatical reading. You can go through and pick out certain speeches say that suppport a marxist or feminist view, but you couldn't make a reading say...

    How would i tackle this E.C essay question?

    Hmm.. well i guess if you just looked at both Emma and Clueless as individual texts, not in any time frame or context then you could get intertextuality in both. Emma from Clueless and Clueless from Emma, but I agree it does sound dodgy. Does Emma have any strong links to other Jane Austen novels?

    The Door

    Try this link It's got some pretty decent notes on fractals, definitely some sentences worth memorising!

    Significant figures or decimal places?

    Yeah, I do it in scientific notation too, but what i meant was say they give you 1.345 x 10^8 km and 5.3 x 10^3 sec and you had to do a calculation and say the answer you got was 435.3452456etc. x 10^18. (I'm just making these numbers up) So you write the long answer down... but then for your...

    What to write instead of "In conclusion"?

    I agree, I've never said in conclusion or anything like that. I skip a line or two between each of my paragraphs in exams so that if i think of something more to write i can go back to that space, and if not.. it's much easier for the examiners to see the structure of it. so anyway it's fairly...

    Alternate ways to start a speech

    what about a rhetorical question? They're supposed to engage the audience and make them think about the issues you discuss right? Attention grabbing... that's what you want

    Lear HSC Questions dont follow the syllabus

    I had exactly the same question and the same problem!! Cos I had read a bit about each reading but I had prepared Existentialist and Family Drama as my two readings, and as a result I didn't have many quotes from the women at all, and I lost marks because I couldn't go into depth on the...

    who's up 4 a band 6?

    yep i'm going for a band 4 as well. I'd love a band 6 (wouldn't we all) but I can't even write enough so I don't have much chance of that...

    Significant figures or decimal places?

    When we calculate an answer form data that is given to us how many significant figures do we give our answer to?? Is it the lowest number of significant figures in the data or the lowest number of decimal places? Our textbook seems to randomly choose how many it gives it's answer to... Do you...

    What are YOU going to do?

    So do you not do anything during reading time??!! How strange... i find it's best to read the really hard ones so t hat at least some small part of your brain can think about it for a max time of 3 hrs besides i like to do multiple choice first cos it's a confidence booster :)

    SPACE: mass dilation

    This sounds like chemistry where you get some sort of equilibrium happening! But I don't think that happens at all, you just reach a certain speed (the speed of light) where all extra energy you put in is simply converted to mass,and none becomes 'kinetic' energy and no matter how much energy...
