Yeah what's the deal with english papers? Every other subject i did, the maths and sciences, have syllabuses where u learn stuff, then they test you to see if u learnt it all. With english why don't they do the same thing instead of specifically setting out to be unpredictable, as the BOS said...

I think that's a tad unfair... physics is a pretty solid subject, and my teacher taught it brilliantly - maybe your teacher/s just haven't mastered it yet? The only real gripe one might have with physics is the amount of explaining and all the social/political crap - it's science, not social...

Anti, read my post about the fact that we are FORCED to do english, and english alone, to get the HSC. You cannot seriously subject every single student to the complete and utter shite (see previous posts for more detail here) that the advanced course contains. I reitterate - english should be...

45 :D

yeah - i think everyone agrees that it's B now... if they don't, they'll find out whenever the answers come out

wow, people are agreeing with me! I'm used to having arguments with guys at my school who like the syllabus for some reason or another. Hee hee - this is funny On my final report my english teacher said i was "articulate and determined" with the "ability to deliver well thought out...

The new english syllabus is one of THE worst things i have ever come across in 13 years of schooling. Not only is it devoid of anything vaguely useful for people who don't want to sit around pontifcating about shite all day, they seem to have forgotten a very important point. 2 units of...

G-forces are not a measurment of acceleration due to gravity, they're a measurement of force in comparison to gravitational force. As for the "negative" g-force debarcle, obviously yes, if you accelerate down you will feel an upwards push - g-forces. But as vectors, there is no ultimate...

There's no such thing as "negative" g-forces G-forces are really just a way of measuring gross acceleration, as a pose to net acceleration. The acceleration being measured may be up - "positive" or down - "negative", but that's really not super relevant for this question anyhow There isn't...

mmm... negative g-forces ;)

With that sort of example, if both astro and qtq got say 50/75, no scaling would occur but that's wrong if the marks in the main part of the exam r the same, but qtq option marks are a lot lower, then qtq marks will get moved up to be even with astro, just as the non-option part of the exam...

G forces are just a way of measuring acceleration! the only place on a roller coaster than the g forces could possibly be more than 1 is at the turning points on the loops (unless it's a rocket powered roller coaster..?!) so stop trying to argue that C is correct, it's really not! :argue:

that's an interesting point - i'm from a selective school, and everyone did QTQ... but i'd imagine making it hard wouldn't matter cause the options should be getting scaled seperately depending on how everyone goes in the rest of the exam i hope!

True true... like everyone is complaining about the electron distribution graph... we didn't have to exlpain why the maximum was 0.15 MeV, all ya had to say was there's like none at 1.15 MeV cause the antineutrino takes energy away - i think some ppl may be tricked and forget it's an...

What i'm saying is, while you may feel you've done really well - as I do, the markers aren't gonna be lettin you all get 98+ or whatever they r going to be STINGY with the marks after the phys trial at my school (syd high), a lot of us thought, hey, 90+ for sure i came 4th with 86, top was...

Do i get yelled at if i say i actually liked the QTQ section? of course, who knows how they'll mark that last question, but the rest was quite sweet!

Q! Fellas G-force can be approximated as N/mg, where N is the normal reaction force acting on the person at that time. Clearly, at Q this person who's been accelerating down the hill under the influence of 1g must how undergo a normal force well above 1g to change their motion from down to up...

m Guys i think sure, the test was easy, but some of you may be being an insy bit cocky don't you think?
