    Don't know what I'm doing...

    And here some more to get you going: - I don't know if you would be surprised to know how much back story goes into a good story. So many words are written before the first word of the real story hits the page. Once you know the world in which you are writing, the character and their...

    Don't know what I'm doing...

    Hi there. Don't despair, you will overcome the writer's block - for that is what it is. First thing to do, maybe, is get to know your character a bit, flesh him out. Here is a template that I use on a Role play website for writing a character. I have also used it to write characters for my own...

    kay my uai is messed up

    KIMY there is always a way. The UAI is not the only way to get into courses. It may just take you a little longer. Seek another pathway to that Nursing Uni course. Do some TAFE courses and become an Enrolled Nurse. You may not be able to just jump into the Nursing degree now but eventually...

    Congratulations

    OH YEAH! A NeMeSiS person and obviously a tutor. Have a wonderful, wonderful time. I did two years there myself and had such a ball. Pity I lost touch with pretty much everyone who went BUT I did get a better HSC mark (in Maths) than the fellow that represented Oz at the International Maths...

    decision- need expert help

    As the others have said, doing 3U again in conjunction with 2U will most likely improve your 3U marks (because it has a lot to do with moderated averages and such). Doing the material again will certainly help you master it all over again BUT I would suggest you go one further and perhaps TUTOR...

    Electromagnetism

    Actually, that is not exactly true. The Physics Holy Grail is, and has been for quite a while, the unification of all the forces. They have unifed the weak nuclear and electromagnetic forces into the Eletro-weak force: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-weak The search to unify them all...

    Pracitcal gone theory

    I have a perfect experiment for you. An inertial frame of reference is any that is travelling at a constant velocity OR is not moving. A non-inertial frame is one that is accelerating (either getting faster, slower or changing direction). When you are travelling in the family car on your way...

    HELP with syllabus dot-point!!!!!!

    Qualitative is taking the equations and explaining what they mean. So, for example: (Taken from HSC Online) As distance from the planet increases (ie d), then the orbital velocity decreases. Therefore, the closer a body is to the planet the faster it must go to stay in orbit...

    HELP with syllabus dot-point!!!!!!

    A first port of call could be HSC Online (do you know about this site). It's great for helping with all the syllabus dot points. http://hsc.csu.edu.au/physics/core/space/9_2_2/922net.html This link covers the specific dot point you are looking for. It is just a very brief summary, but it may...

    WHICH IS MORE ATTRACTIVE?? [please rate]

    The more attractive model is Number 5 because she is fit and muscular and obviously looks after her body inside and out. She is still feminine with curves and bumps in the right places. She represents something I would like to be.

    Physics Help

    Hey Kabbasi, Oh I wish I were your Physics teacher. I love teaching/tutoring physics to those who think they are physics-ally challenged. OK, tips for getting through Physics. Live and breathe your formula sheet. Get the formula sheet from the HSC exam (you can either get that from your...

    Projectile Motion Question

    Yep. It was not a projectile motion question, it was a change of energy - Conservation of Energy - question. The trick to physics questions is knowing what sort of question it is ;)

    Projectile Motion Question

    Actually, easier than you think. If the incline plane has no friction (and in the perfect classroom physics world, it usually doesn't) then all you have to consider is the change in energy from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy. GPE = mgh On this inclined plane, the height is...

    Universal Gravitaional Constant??

    Kind of off the topic but not really, the force of gravity is the weakest of all known fundamental forces of nature. It is SO much weaker than electro-magnetism and the weak and strong nuclear forces. This is an enigma and one of the thoughts in the multi-layered universe theory (the one that...

    Urgent Calculation.

    Tension will be maximum when the spring is parallel to the direction of the force on the mass due to gravity, ie when the string is vertically up and down. It will be minimum at either end of the swing. Thus, in e Tension versus tim graph, the maxima correspond to the strong vertical and minima...

    I've screwed up physics already

    Indeed, your rank is what matters, but also, look at how much that assessment task was worth. The first assessment tasks will not be weighted that heavily. So 55% may mean you only get 5/10 in the final mark (which gets moderated anyway). I would put that task behind you, learn from it and aim...
