    What it takes for band 6

    To help the OP the qualities of a Band 6 student are in no particular order: 1. Extremely passionate about the subject 2. Excellent ->outstanding mathematical skills 3. Coherent writing skills i.e. a flow in their discuss, describe and explain questions 4. Good-> excellent diagram drawing...

    What Physics Formulas are not on - Data sheet

    Don't forget EMF = -nBlv for Faraday's law where v = velocity of conductor experiencing change of flux. Not quoted in the syllabus but certainly one to remember. I would also remember -Sy= Uyt - 1/2at^2 For total time of a projectile off a cliff. Then remember to use quadratic to derive the...

    A question on graphing waves

    Hey 5647382910, With reference to your above question I would say both are the same. If you are plotting Displacement vs time you should realise that f=1/T whereas if you use the Displacement vs distance you should realise that the wavelength is the distance between two crest/two troughs or...

    Projectile Motion - What are some possible questions which can be asked

    a) Time of flight b) max height reached c) range d) final velocity on impact e) acceleration at top if it's path = remember horiz velocity is constant so a=0 therefore avertical=+9.8m/s^2 is the only acceleration acting and it is constant all throughout the journey.

    distinguishing technological development / application ? - (Von Braun)

    Von Braun' technology revolves around liquid propellants in a single stage of solid burn along with ballistic missiles containing warheads. What guidance system he employed is not exactly known as the German kept this information top secret. This is in contrast to Goddard who used Gyroscope...

    2008 PHYSICS HSC Paper/thoughts?

    Classix..... perfect world... LOL.. It states no where in the syllabus to assume no air resistance in projectile analysis Even more proof of how they(NSW BOS) are "dumbing" down the course... PAthetic test....:pain:

    2008 PHYSICS HSC Paper/thoughts?

    Hi all, I finally got a response back from NSW BOS with reference to Q3 multiple choice. Here it is: The Chief Examiner of the course has provided me with the following advice regarding the specific issue raised in your email. The examination committee felt that adding the phrase ignore air...

    Circular Motion Q

    angular velocity = linear velocity/ radius = 3/4 = 0.75 m/s Enjoy. Another way for your reference is angular velocity = 2π(pi)/T where T = period of one revolution.

    2008 PHYSICS HSC Paper/thoughts?

    Nick90 I totally agree with you and your sentiments. The experience I have seen is that girls who excel at Physics are also quite exceptional at Maths and hence fall into the same domain as males who are typically strong in this subject. You have to wonder what the examiners or boffins are...

    2008 PHYSICS HSC Paper/thoughts?

    Agreed... my explanation came from a university book so I really don't trust any success one HSC textbooks. P-type is always valence band electrons trying to occupy the acceptor level hence these are the moving electrons in line with external applied voltage. There is very little doubt that it...

    2008 PHYSICS HSC Paper/thoughts?

    Hey all, Now the Physics HSC 20078 paper is over what did students think of it? I found the Medical physics section very straight-forward and multiple choice was a little tricky but generally OK. A lot of essay writing in Part B. Q21 space exploration very similar to last year's...

    Eddy currents

    It's both... a change of flux can be created by moving a magnet into a stationary coil where the change in flux is the moving magnet or a moving coil into a stationary magnet as the coil initiates the change in flux by cutting the lines of force.

    Eddy currents

    What bazookie said is right.. Use whichever rule you have been taught with force, B and I and realise that eddy currents will only form in region where this is a overlap where lines of flux are cut and then the conductor has no lines of flux cut. then use FBI rule I use left hand rule and...

    *looks at physics text book*- *collapses*

    Physics from 2001 onwards new syllabus has been washed down heaps made into parrot talk you know memorise this memorise that. The ratio of problem solving to theory is now 25:75 Previously it was about 65:35 with a lot more emphasis on the problem solving mathematical side of things...

    2008 Hsc

    With Motors and generators expect perhaps a graph of changing flux vs time it could be in multiple choice or Part B. Also i forgot to add they might ask a prac you have done in class eg outline a first hand investigation with something on AC induction motors or the motor effect. I am...

    Nuclear Physics HELP!

    zomfg Try a mind map Eg Nuclear -> fission/fusion -> Theory-> Positive and negatives -> applications-> medicine ->PET imaging/chemo/radiotherapy I would mainly focus on the positives for humanitarian reasons eg nuclear medicine. you can also focus on the disasters Chernobyl and...

    2008 Hsc

    I am hoping for something on X-ray crystallography but the way the examiners write questions lately you need to focus heavily on these 2 items: 1. Language.. be prepared to be bamboozled with literacy and deception. Yes that's right no typo look for the best answer when it appears there are...

    DC motor help

    An AC induction motor... Is she out of her mind? that squirrel cage needs some heavy metallurgy to be made whilst casting it in a solid iron core along with two ball bearings on either end of the shaft. placing electromagnets around the cage ain't easy without further metallurgy. I...
