    alkanes alkenes etc.

    o.0 It does. Pure carbon forms a macromolecular structure with carbon atoms in huge network lattices. For example, carbon as graphite is in 2D "sheets" of carbon atoms bonded to each other (thus graphite is used as a lubricant, as the sheets can easily slice over one another), carbon as diamond...

    Discovery Days?

    Heh, thanks :) I'm yet to register though, still gotta find my HSC candidate number :o I still have that piece of paper that was stuck on my table during the SC exams last year...which had the BOS logo and exam centre number and my name, and most importantly, my candidate number :p It's here...

    Mathematics

    Well, hasn't everyone? :o Ever since you were two and starting to count with your fingers? That's arithmetic, which is a subset of the universal set of "Maths", and being in a subset is a sufficient although not necessary condition for being in the universal set and hence, you were doing maths...

    Chemistry Class of 2007: Roll Call

    I'm apparently doing Industrial. And I recall my teacher saying something like we'll do the option about one month before term 3 ends...which doesn't really sound good. Hum. :S

    Simple differentiation question

    Specialist maths? What's that? :p Are you from the ACT or VIC or something?

    H-E-L-P! anyone go to a decent public school?

    I thought you already have the same thread in the Year 10 forum? o.0

    Simple differentiation question

    Just a small mistake: -x3/20 should be differentiated to -3x2/20 :p

    Calculus Question

    ... Why? Is it because, it's, erm, MATHS, and everyone gets enough of it at school already? :p
  9. airie

    HELP. :( anyone go to a decent public school?

    I agree with James747 and -pari- above :) Went to Burwood Girls myself for about half a year in year 8, I think it was alright. Not that I remember that much though :p

    Discovery Days?

    So, who else is going to the Discovery Days? Just got this postcard at school yesterday about it. It's organised by University of Wollongong, apparently you just go and experience a day as if you're a real uni student. Looks like you'd have to register before 30 Nov, and your school would give...

    Acceleration due to gravity in Projectile motions

    That's right ;) See, regardles if the ball is moving upwards or downwards, the gravity it experiences is always AGAINST the positive direction, therefore the acceleration is always negative :)
  12. airie

    a projecile problem

    Unless, of course, the object ends up lower than the starting point :p
  13. airie

    Who do you think is gonna get the highest mark?

    I will...for a year at least. But I might not count. *pokes HSC year* :p
  14. airie

    Acceleration due to gravity in Projectile motions

    Erm, no. The positive direction hasn't changed when the ball is falling down, therefore the acceleration is still negative. Think about it this way: On its way up, the ball is gradually slowed (in the vertical direction) under the effect of gravity, which applies towards the centre of the earth...

    100 uai

    Just did. It stayed at 100 o.0

    soooooo not ready to start year 12

    I'm not chucking away my social life yet :D That is, if I have one in the first place to even contemplate chucking away...*cough* :p Anyhow, I can just picture some people looking at your post and thinking, "If you've done more studying though, wouldn't you end up with an even better UAI?" XD

    year 11s going into yr12

    Re: general discussion for hsc 2007 open!! I'm apparently getting mine back next Tuesday. I don't want it. :S

    Locus/Parabola

    ^Actually, when the vertex of a parabola is not at the origin, you could always rotate and translate it until the vertex is :p In this case the value of a as Riviet has found is correct. He just made a mistake when he subbed in x=7/4 into the formula. It should have been (7/4)2=10y, therefore...

    100 uai

    modezero, I remember you telling me once that it's impossible to get a scaled aggregate of 100 for any single subject. Why is that though?

    Mathematics

    *blink* No one ever said that you'd *have to* do maths o.0 But yes, I do maths. :p
