I've never heard the word 'mufti' before I came to BoS... Crazy Sydney people and their funny talk. Seriously, when I first read it, I got a mental image of someone going to school with a Muslim religious leader slumped over their back and no clothes on. Unless that's what you actually...

Not as freaky as the shrine I have to him and Charles Prestidge-King in my room. *burns incense, sacrifices a cow and worships before the altar*

Increasing the frequency gives photons greater energy, according to E = hƒ. Now, if the frequency is such that the energy of the photon is greater than the work function of the material, an electron will be ejected by each photon absorbed. If the frequency is increased beyond this cutoff...

Are you implying that ritalin addicted teenagers frequent bored of st... Oh look, internet porn! On topic: No, you can't. They deliberately ask stupid questions (like that really ambiguous multiple choice from physics last year) to trick people, so it's not straightforward and... Ooh...

Often, but not always, the first step is to use v = u +at to find the time, by letting v = 0 at the max height (stationary point) of the motion, and solving to find the time for half the flight, then using t to calculate whatever else the quesiton asks for.

*evilly plots to be coincidentally standing inexplicably close to you when you happen to receive your HSC*

And just so we don't discriminate, all the best to those of us (such as myself) who stare bemused at chemistry and wonder what chemicals the chemistry nerds have been chugging to be able to understand the stuff. ... On topic: Umm... Study all the obscure stuff that you didn't even know was...

Oh, and say we stepped up the velocity to 0.9999999999c, then the mass would be 1.18x10-22kg, so still less than a piece of space dust. Also, the closer you get to c, the harder it is to make it speed up more. So let's say we got a human being with mass 10kg and cannon'd him into space at...

Ok, well what's the mass of a resting neutron? The HSC data sheet says 1.675x10-27 kg, so let's use that. Say if we've got it going at .99c and we fire it off into space, its mass relative to the "stationary" observer on earth will be... (oh, by the way, this isn't really true, since...

Yep. If u look at the equation, if v = c, you have mv = m0/0, and obviously you can't divide a number by zero. Not possible. v is always < c. In particle accelerators they get particles up to 90% (or was it 99%), but never the actual speed of light. This site explains it pretty well.

Not to mention you :p

This thread makes baby Jesus cry.

I discovered in Maths Extension that if you don't learn half the course, you correspondingly can't answer half the questions.

Don't say, like, I dunno, "Akhenaten liked a cigar and a whiskey after a hard day of worshipping the Aten" - Antiquity 2, say "Akhenaten liked a cigar and a whiskey after a hard day of worshipping the Aten" - <The name of whoever wrote Antiquity 2> Or if you can't remember the exact...

English, English, Maths, Maths Ext. Yes.

Which textbook?

I might have been on here on the morning of all my exams. Is that bad?

Don't laugh, she's gonna get a UAI of 99, what does that say about the rest of us?

Yes, you're right, if something reached the speed of light, it would have infinite mass, and that would cause some serious problems to the universe, and anyone who happened to be inside the universe at the time. Fortunately, nothing can reach the speed of light, so the universe is safe. For now.

He can't explain, he's completely irrational. :p
