I see lots of people doing it, its not too bad in my opinion. Maybe one day you'll be in a similiar situation where u feel you have to skip an assessment. My advice is talk to the person if you want to, but definetly do NOT dob them in, because they will find out one way or another it was you...

Thank you, I understand it now.

Does that mean, say, that a single Magnesium atom is a molecule?

The way I understand it, molecules are two or more atoms bonded covalently (sharing electrons). Diatomic molecules can include both O2 and CO, if I'm correct, and triatomic molecules are O3, H2O, etc. But then I read that all noble gases are "monatomic molecules." Doesn't this really go...

But say it was a 1kg ball travelling at 50 ms then when it rebounds, it changes direction and its new speed is -50 so initial momentum (50) doesnt equal its final momentum (-50) So how is its momentum conserved?

I need to clarify something. I have a question saying "A ball rebounds inelastically from a wall; is..." Its momentum convserved but not its kinetic energy Its kinetic energy conserved but not its momentum Both its kinetic energy and momentum are conserved Neither "" I understand in an...

At my school I'd say the majority, including myself, do both Extensions, and next year I think most will be doing at least one Extension II subject. In year 11 if we want to do both extensions, we still have to keep the rest of our subjects, meaning most of us have 14 units. Its actually not...

It feels like the marks I get for English essays are completely random! I handed in a practice essay to my English teacher, and got 18/20. She tells me a few things to correct, and I go home and correct them. I then resubmit my essay to my English teacher a week later. Next day, I get it back...

Could you please give me one or two examples of when this happens?

I have two different textbooks, one of which says: metal +water = metal oxide + hydrogen the other says: metal + water = metal hydroxide + hydrogen Are both reactions possible? If so, how do you tell whether an oxide or hydroxide is formed?

I wanted to do Ext maths and Ext english this year but I still had to have four electives so basically this year im doing 14 units and have a grand total of zero frees.

And what will you be doing during the holidays? We finish this Wednesday at midday

I read somewhere that 60 % of people get over 60 UAI ... Does that sound right? And how would that affect the whole "20-40 per increment" idea?

I would suggest 1984 by George Orwell. Its not too challenging but it does really get you thinking. I think its one of those texts that everybody has to read during their life, so why not study it in depth?

Yeah I got to a fairly good school and we have had half yearlies and yearlies since year 7. They are meant to help prepare you for the style of question you will face in the HSC. I dont think they are a waste of time at all.
