man o man!!!

we didnt end up having catholic.. isntead my teacher compiled an exam from various sources

grrrrrrrrr..... i knew i should have done success... he took like a whole chunk straight out from there....
my exam was out of 100.... and we've only covered module 1 and 2.. plus half of module 3

now that's scary... we had something like 35 marks on space.... 35 on motors... and 25-30 on ideas... i hated that exam

catholic was probably so much easier.. well last yrs was anyway

oh well there goes a whole chunk of my assessment marks... staright down the drain

hope u guys performed better than myself

well???

where is everyone???

How did you calculate the time of that capsule to reach the Earth's surface while keeping under 8g?

Extremely easy, weird.

I wasn't too sure about the BCS thing, just talked about the positive trough and I said there was no trough if above the critical temperature and no cooper pairs.

Yeah i did the CSSA Trial that was the only question i couldn't figure out it was like calculate the kintetic energy of the satellite, the the potential energy of the capsule and then the time taken to fall and then the Power or something the last two parts i fully didn't get .. did u guys do that question?

I havent done my trials yet. Mine are next week. But it sounds like you would have used relativity to answer that kind of question.
