Physics Predictions/Thoughts (5 Viewers)

For people who do physics, definitely including @scaryshark09 , do we need to know equation examples of alpha, beta and gamma decay off by heart? Can they ask us to give an example??

i would say it is best to learn these equations off by heart.

Thank you for your current physics student insight. Unironically, I will be memorising a couple now

lol i actually still did physics when i learnt this
these generic equations are something you should know

its good to go a bit beyond the syllabus and do your own research into the topics, having extensive knowledge wont only help u for short answers but more importantly long answer qs.

Yeah but what about actual like real world examples like uranium something -----> uranium something else

Anything to get a band 6 in this subject I want to finish the hsc on a high note so bad.

tbh shouldnt be too hard, just know what to write and practice a lot before the paper so u familiarise with the structure and type of qs.

If anyone's done the parramatta hs trial 2023 lmk your mark, I got 75/100, screwed up the last question but feel pretty good about that mark

74/100 but got 11/20 on multiple choice

How much yall reckon is gonna be good enough for a band 5 gonna be this year

 

[scaryshark09]

How much yall reckon is gonna be good enough for a band 5 gonna be this year

95 would definitely be at least a band 5

 

[carrotsss]

How much yall reckon is gonna be good enough for a band 5 gonna be this year

Depends on how hard the paper is which is pretty unpredictable atp

 

[skp_mp4]

I think for band 6 you actually have to write your own question in the spare page section and get it right to get over 100%

HELP PLEASE!






Does anyone know how to solve these questions? They're from the 2023 parramatta high school trial paper
Below are their answers:










10: B
13: A
14: B

for q10, you want to find a general formula for the range of a projectile. range occurs when the y displacement =0.
so from s=ut+1/2at^2, you let s=0. you also know that you can divide by t, because that is at the origin, we're looking for the t when it hits the ground again.
therefore, 0=usintheta+(1/2)(-9.8)t
hence t=2usintheta/9.8
now the range is the horizontal component multiplied by time travelled
so Range = Utcostheta
= 2U^2sinthetacostheta/9.8
= (u^2)sin2theta/9.8
now sub in all values given in options, and B should be the largest.

13. Use kepler's 3rd law, and remember that the r value that you find is the radius of the earth plus the altitude.
14. Remember that during uniform circular motion, the value of the centripetal accel is v^2/r. both v^2 and r are constant in this example, so accel is also constant hence B

There might be an easier way to do 10 but you calculate the time of flight for all the launches then find the range for all the launches.

i got d for 13 so I can’t help you with that one.
Don’t over complicate 14.

you have to minus the radius of earth (6371km) from 6759.8, so 6759-6371km = 388.8 km and that's the answer

Can someone explain why the answer is D and not C? (question from PHS)

Because E = mc^2 Energy is released as the smaller components always have more mass than the final larger product.
