did michael jordan get paid royalties for his name appearing in the exam, if not i think he should sue the BOS and make them not count that question.

ur meant to do calculation and for some reason BOS give lots of space to calculation in case u stuff up

and generally, lots of marks too... just look at the calculations and the number of marks for such trivial tasks... (this one is an exception coz its a bit tricky)
the quanta to quarks option LOL... look at the calculation....

i totally agree what was with that!! jordan question was abosolute crap!! i had heaps to write on the photoelectric question which went over the amount of lines they gave us but kept it to the one page cos thought going to a booklet would be too much. its just crap!

well the only "calculation" i could see was to do with the 2.5 seconds.

so i said, the article serves for entertainment purposes only, because it is physically impossible for Michael Jordan to jump for 2.5 seconds.

then i did Vy = Uy - 9.8t
0 = Uy - 9.8 (1.25) for when Vy = 0 , ie half of his time of flight
so Uy = 12.25 m/s which is ludicrous

And i think i found his maximm height to be about 7.4 or so metres which is of course impossible
