Hey guys, Find attached the core section of the Physics Trial which my tutoring students sat last week :spzz: No answers attached :awesome: If you want to discuss answers, by all means I will contribute to that discussion

Main thing is that it limits the temperature fluctuations in the water itself.

Haha. A very senior BOSTES rep basically said the idea is to make Physics more difficult --> will decrease the number of students taking physics but also attract back the talented students playing the ATAR game and pursuing HSIE subjects (but overall decrease in candidature) --> due to...

http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabuses/curriculum-development/pdf_doc/st6-physics-draft-syl-16-v5.pdf Thoughts? Love the increased mathematical rigour, incorporation of thermodynamics. But, some very interesting 'political' statements coming out of the syllabus such as 'will...

These questions come from the skills outcomes in the syllabus. Basically best to say that information presented in the mass media is subject to bias and is not peer reviewed by experts in the chosen field and designed to engage an audience of people who are also not experts in the field...

Skills based outcome - P12.4a assess the accuracy of any measurements and calculations and the relative importance of the data and information gathered

I approve of this post :)

Re: HSC 2016 MX2 Combinatorics Marathon I asked this question a couple of years ago, but never got an answer: Surely it will take one of you nerds about 2 minutes to do it and explain it :) http://community.boredofstudies.org/10/maths/327846/snap-probability.html

Only 2 spots left in my Saturday 12pm-2pm class and Green Valley class. 4-6 spots in the other classes!

Yeah, I'd say so! The 2012 HSC has a MC question based on the old naming system and hence there was no correct answer for it! That would have been written towards the end of 2011, so the change probably occurred around 2011/12. Papers before then regarding naming of haloalkanes would have...

IUPAC does not use electronegativity for haloalkanes. Functional groups different story, but not haloalkanes. IUPAC uses alphanumeric. Please see the RACI guidelines I linked in a previous post. In red writing at the very beginning "IUPAC uses the alphanumeric nomenclature system. Older...

Using current naming techniques, answer should be (a). Both (a) and (c) could apply to the molecule and both produce the same value for the set of locants ( 3 + 5 = 5 + 3 ) and when this happens, RACI guidelines state that the lowest number is given to the halogen which is named first. Chloro...

You had better get started then! Seriously, so much info available on these.

Please never talk about this question!! This question was a replacement question for an even poorer question at the final stages of writing the examination. As such, it never went through the proper checks before the examination was printed. Pretty much all physics teachers were like smh

One of the things about principle of relativity was that it states there is no such thing as an absolute inertial frame of reference (I.e., nothing in the universe is inherently stationary) whereas, the aether was touted as being such an absolute frame of reference.

Different strokes for different folks. If you do order it by single dot point, it is important that you show how this dot point links to other dot points (which may even be in different topics!) Often in HSC / trials now the bigger mark questions encompass more than one dot point, so you must...

There have been a few students apply for the Green Valley class, so it will be going ahead

I focus on all of this in Year 12, but do you guys deem Year 11 as important as Year 12?

Hey guys and girls, I am a current Physics / Chemistry teacher / tutor and I am starting up my own tuition centre this year. I am after some input into what preliminary students deem most important for their tuition. I have my own ideas and opinions about what is most beneficial for...

Totally agree. I was never interested in conics until I learned about its application in orbital mechanics!
