    HSC Physics Marathon 2017

    $\noindent$ a=\frac{(v_{y}-u_{u})}{t} \\ \Rightarrow t=\frac{(v_{y}-u_{u})}{a} \\ = \frac{0-400\sin 30}{-9.8} \\ \therefore $ time to reach max point = $ 20.4s \\ \Rightarrow $ time to reach the other end $= 2 \cdot 20.4 = 40.8s\\ \therefore x=v_{x}t \\ = 400\cos 30 \cdot 40.8\\ \approx 14139$m$

    use \frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}=\frac{{d_{2}}^{2}}{d{_{1}}^{2}}

    Can anyone solve these locus problems?

    $\noindent$ \sqrt{(x-3)^2+(y-2)^2}=2|y+1| \\ (x-3)^2+(y-2)^2=4(y+1)^2 \\ x^2-6x+9+y^2-4y+4=4y^2+8y+4 \\ x^2-6x+9-3y^2-12y=0

    Do people think the maths HSC will be harder this year?

    I guess there will be more interesting and harder Qs, I prefer questions that requires a lot of think rather than just plugging stuff into the formula anyways

    Drawing a small diagram may help. Since they want the depth of the sea floor, ignore the first reflection. So the waves return after 0.20s. This means that in 0.20s, the wave traveled from the surface to the sea floor, and back again to the surface. So if I let x be the depth of the sea floor...

    I guess so. Electric field strength is a vector, and so you do need direction

    Few past paper questions i cant do

    for q1 for two curves to be tangent, their gradients must be equal at their points of contact. We know the gradient of the line is 3, so the gradient of the curve must also be 3 at the points of contact. So find the derivative of x^3 and find the solutions for which it is equal to 3. Now these...
