General Thoughts - Physics (2 Viewers)

[dolbinau]

Overall a good paper. The lack of projectile questions was a bit surpising. Do you know if you lose marks for writing too much? Like because you weren't concise enough or something?

Yes, it's possible. Especially if you have contradictions.

I was fairly happy with it. Much, much better than what I thought it would be, though there were a couple I found tricky.
The satellite question threw me off, so I just applied rocket stuff to the satellite and hopefully that'll be okay. If not...well...3 marks, ah well.
Nice way to end.

good test i thought not hard couple of tricky ones but good but fuking astrophysics was bs, page one of astro was good page 2 i was like wtff

paper was ok the mc was confusing in some but it always is in physics did any1 do a rocket scientist i did goddard which worked well cos he had funding from the government low 80's

LOL omg i cant beleve their was an optionel question! like what loser would do that! trying to kiss ass or somthin

Please tell me you don't do physics.

it wasn't an optional question.
it was a few options - but you must pick one.

well you don't have to pick one if you dont want to.
but if you don't, that's 25 marks gone.

Astrophysics was easier this year than in most past years. All the options were.

I think he means the option of doing electricity distribution or the developments in space exploration.
Otherwise...

I hope you're right... haha
but the "what loser would do that! trying to kiss ass or somthin"

 

[dolbinau]

Just trolling...it comes up in every exam..

 

[nty]

hehe ok i see.. i'm too "noob" to tell.
i saw they had only 1 post, so i assumed they signed up just for physics

Foe the one with the induction coil and which one would producing the most amount of voltage whih setup did u guys put. A or B

 

[gen.shottaffeta]

the 6 mark ones were lame
and i wish there was a projectiles question!
and also, there was so much stuff we did in-depth that wasnt in it.
but it was alot better than i expected. and its all done! woo!

 

[chewnugm]

too many longer answer questions. I am hoping for 85+ raw mark, don't think i'll be far off. Astro was pretty standard except for longer response, ask for 6 marks on a 2 mark response. ohwell...

 

[walkahz]

It was a shit paper. All analisis and no calculating. this isnt physics.

 

[mickael]

Quanta to Quarks had a mass defect qu
I found the paper difficult... But i am so glad it is over!!!!

i know that was so freakin hard!!!!

 

[Tha Wishkah]

well ill see how i went when i get the papers back..
now putting phys behind and focusing on last two exams.. pdh and chem. yay.

Chem :S

everytime i see your sig it weirds me out.

Yeah i put B but supposedly the answer was A
i dunno, id never seen something like that before, but another class had been shown one so they all knew it haha

 

[Shadose]

Damn, I'm so careless, I got the most simplist question wrong. I took Th-227 as Th-221 :'(

But everything else went quiet well. Overall happy.

Yeh it was the one where the secondary coil was all the way to the left. We have one of those at our school and we play with it all the time, so it was easy as for us. You could have argued that the other one could have sparked as well, but that's a bit flimsy.

 

[Propadanda]

It was obviously A...

You could see from the diagram that the primary coil only extended out a certain length, so Arrangement B wasn't even OVER the primary coil, so how could a current be induced in the secondary to cause a spark between in the electrodes?
