    Loving The Hsc... :d

    I like to have the second english extension so that I have a subject in which I can be creative. The double extension load can be a bit nasty for english but with the ext.2 once you have your idea you can just do some writing every couple of nights and chip away at it while being relaxed about...

    Just because you're against the seperation of church and state doesn't necessarily mean that you support the establishment ;)

    circular motion

    I'll explain them in reverse because it works well that way. Gravity is providing you with the force that you are trying to balance with centripetal force. You are trying to keep the hanging mass still. When it is still then F<sub>c</sub> = F<sub>g</sub>. Since F<sub>g</sub> is a constant...

    The need for the Strong Force

    Depends whether they've been taught about same-charge repulsion, in which case there's ussually someone who thinks: 'Hey... something's not right...'

    Redox Question

    That makes sense...I think... but how would that translate into the NO and NO2 difference?

    Redox Question

    What's the difference between a metal reacting in dilute acid and a metal reacting in a concentrated acid in terms of a redox reaction? I have this question sheet which asks for the redox reaction of copper with dil. HNO3 then with conc. HNO3 this is the difference between the reduction...

    Yet another SAM question....

    If I were to (hypothetically) acheive a mark (at the end of all the HSC stuff) of 90 in physics, chem, math ext.1 and english adv. as well as a 44/50 in english ext. 1 and 83 in math ext.2 .... I would need a mark as good as 47-48/50 in ext. 2 english in order for it to be counted. Either...

    I was into her writing when I was younger. I read every book she had ever written when I was in primary school. My tastes have kinda moved on however, I bought the first book in the troy game series but never got into it

    Is The NSW HSC Too Easy?

    The syllubi in, for example, both physics and chemistry are dumbed down and quite easy. However, dealing with the stress of the HSC, cramming the years worth of knowledge into your head and dealing with the entirely irrelevant questions with a "focus on society" is a true art. I will admit...

    The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

    It's a great book. She's deals with such disturbing issues in such an elegant way, it's very impressive. It's worth having a read of her autobiography 'lucky' (if you can stomache it. It starts with her rape and goes on from there) for the insight it gives into her person. You can really see how...

    Should I do Physics? (from a yr 11 student)

    Just make sure you remember basic trigonometry ( incl. sine rule, cosine rule and your right angle triangle properties). This stuff can come up in vector addition in yr11 but don't expect any rigorous maths in yr12. Physics is a great subject with the potential to open up a whole new world...

    Transcendental Mathematics

    Check out this (Is Chaos Theory Postmodern Science? http://www.reconstruction.ws/044/mackey.htm). A bit of philosophical (perhaps more social) nihilism is present in some of nietzsche's work so have a read of him. A lot of great thinkers have been philosophers, mathematicians (and physicists)...

    Should I select chemistry for YR11???

    Formulae which they give you on a piece of paper in the HSC and are hardly used for all of the questions in the vein of: (6 marks) "In recent years there has been a shift away from the traditional role of physics and towards quantum theory." You are a keynote speaker at a conference on...
