golf balls hardly ever parabolic No - -they dont when hit properly. In fact almost all golf shots add some spin to the ball, meaning that the dimpled ball may generate lift from backspin, for example. This causes the trajectory to slowly arc upwards from the initial direction (the opposite...

LOL no calc but ux about 31, uy about 28, theta bit less than 45, goes up about 40m - not that Ive ever seen a parabolic golf shot... and of course the syllabus is ALL about golf!....lol.. - -nothing like a question in the right context!

more boring projectile mtion wts the big deal with that - just ANOTHER boring proj.motion question - predictable and easy - -get u=x/t, uy=1/2at then use the equations/pyth/trig - a minutes worth of calcs doesnt rate as a great exam question. PROJ.MOTION COMPONENTS ARE ONLY 3 CORE SYLLBUS...

Sounds good - -hope you did well - I actually likedit cos it wasnt just rote learning and it had a good mix - lots of prac applications, some calcs without being a maths exam, drawing diagrams, tables, deriving formula, graph, risks - a good blend/range but who knows - I'll have to wait for the...

most\same My elective had a 7 marker - the others all had a 6 or 7 marker in them -same as HSC :)

liked it I thought overall it was an excellent exam - some tough multi choice and longer answer ones like BCS and relativity and a good coverage of dot pts without being too predictable - at last a physics exam brave enough not to have proj.motion question! Lots of good applications like...
