    Time Management

    Exactly how important is time management in the HSC MX2 exam? And for school assessment tasks, is time management just as important or can you generally slow down a bit to make sure you don't make silly mistakes, etc? I was wondering because we have quizzes every 2 weeks at school which I can...

    Israel Affirmative Action in Gaza

    Peaceful co-existence between Israel and Palestine is impossible for quite some time. Let's take India and Pakistan as a case in point. They've been 2 separate countries since 1947. However, even though it's been 65 years since they were one, they've been in conflict since the beginning. There...

    if you can answer this maths q, you're a genius!

    Using "p" and "q"... are you sure this is a Mathematics question and not an Ext 1 question?

    Space Materials

    You probably should have tried the NASA site...

    Help Pracs!!

    Haha yeah I know you don't go to my school (quite obvious for me)

    Is anyone else's school doing the same?

    2 assessments week 8, 3 assessments week 9 and MX2 on Wednesday of week 10. On the Monday before my MX2 exam, the Physics and MX2 people are going to luna park :D My assessments are set out pretty well I reckon. Not too close together, and not very far apart either.

    Ethanol Questions NEED HELP ANSWERING!

    Q2 b. C2H5OH(l) + 3O2 (g) ---> 2CO2(g) + 3H2O (l) The states could be wrong, I'm not brilliant with those, but it should be balanced right. c. moles = volume/molar volume. Therefore, moles = 100/24.79 = 4.033884631 (only round off at RIGHT at the end) moles. Since it releases 1364 kJ of energy...

    Molar heat of combustion Question

    My tutor said that while the writing in bold is true, it's too broad. You need to be more specific like what I said in my first post. Just so you know :)

    Help Pracs!!

    what school do you go to (out of curiosity)?

    Molar heat of combustion Question

    Answer to Q2: The hot air flows around the flask and some of the heat is absorbed by the equipment (e.g. tripod, gauze mat, etc). Also, if incomplete combustion occurs then carbon soot forms at the bottom of the flask which acts as an insulator and so less heat is absorbed by the water.

    anyone got their atar estimates? how do you feel?

    lol with my rankings I'd be looking at a very high ATAR... it's not a very realistic ATAR so I just haven't bothered looking up what I'd get.

    First Assessments

    Week 8: Physics Assignment due and Adv Maths Week 9: MX1, Chem, English Week 10: MX2 (2 days before, I get to go to luna park for "MX2" and Physics :D )

    Complex Numbers Help

    I've done parts a and b, but I can't use the latex thingy or whatever that people use to make it look all mathy. But anyway, z^4+1=0. Therefore, z^4=-1. Now, I assume you know how to change that into rcis theta form. So you get z^4=rcistheta. Then the use De Moivre's theorem to find the roots...

    Physics or IPT?

    I'd say keep Physics. You have a good teacher, you're interested in it, and you can certainly do better than last year if you tried. The combination of those 3 is pretty much all that I would need to say for you to keep Physics.

    Studying? How much is enough?

    Small study exercises? What are they? I think I know what they are, but I may be wrong...

    chemistry

    And then you could differentiate them again to find their concavity hehehe... Anyways, harder tests dont make a difference to how well you do because it'll just get scaled slightly higher. Obviously if it's a harder test, the rest of the state will do worse as well so really there's nothing to...

    Induction Question-types

    Yeah I've got inequalities, sum (pretty much the same as sigma ones) and divisibility ones down. And EpikHigh, we didn't learn to do Induction with factorials at school, still got it in a class test :P Thanks for that though!

    Are you dropping down to 10 units for the HSC, or are you doing more?

    Lol I'm pretty much in the same boat as WeaselPowa. I want to drop Engineering Studies so I go down to 10 units, but have to wait for results from first MX2 task (at the end of the term).

    Induction Question-types

    I just wanted to know what different "types" of Mathematical Induction questions there are. E.g. There are ones that include logs, factorials, etc. I just want to get to know the different types so I make sure I don't get surprised by any questions which I haven't encountered before in an...

    I need help with these physics questions!

    he was just pointing out what you'd get if it were the HSC... I give you 1/3 for lack of understanding what he was trying to say.
