    Studying For Yr 11

    Honestly, just enjoy your holidays. Year 11 economics isn't hard, just pay attention in class and you'll get it. If you really want to do something though just read some newspapers/magazines like The Economist or the Herald to get an understanding of how everything fits together and you'll find...

    Are ranks really that important in your ATAR?

    It depends on so many factors... If you are ranked 50th at James Ruse you will get 99+. If however you go to a school in the 500's, you pretty much need first in every subject. In regards to messing up assessments, the only thing that matters is the end rank, not the individual ranks. Depending...

    Electrodes in same beaker

    I understand all that about the anode and cathode but what I don't is where the reduction occurs. I think the zinc is the anode, so it loses electrons (oxidation) but I don't get where those electrons go. As graphite is inert, it can't be reduced, and the sodium in the NaCl solution is more...

Basically, there is a graphite electrode and an electrode of a different metal (e.g. zinc) in the same NaCl electrolyte.

    perms and combs 2

    All right, I know what I did wrong. When A sits on the side that has 2 seats, he can sit in 2 different positions, giving 2 for him, 4 for B and 4! for everyone else (8x4!). Similarly, when A sits on the side with 4, he can sit in four seats, B in 2 and the rest in 4!. Thus the total is 8x4!x2...

    perms and combs 2

    Note: I haven't done this topic, so I'm going to do it logically (might be wrong): Either A can be on the side with 2 or 4 seats. If A is on the side with 2, then B has four seats to choose from. Everyone else can sit anywhere giving 4x4!. If A is on the side with 4, then B has 2 seats to...

    I go to Tech and I think its a good school (Year 12 2012). In regards to the principal, what specifically did you want to know. She rambles on a lot at assemblies about random things but apart from that I don't have a problem with her...

    Projectile Motion question

    Thanks guys, I thought there was no way to work it out. The answer was velocity is 65 ms at 39.7 degrees so there must be something missing like time of flight. That was the question word for word BTW. Cheers
