    Listing out data in calculations-What's the point?

    The benefit of listing it is that you can check that all units in the calculation match at an overview. Say you are talking about the energy-mass equivalence equation, if you are given: Mass = 0.2 g Speed of light = 3E+8 m/s and you write: E=mc^2 Where: m = 0.2 g c = 3E+8 m/s ...it shows the...

    uow med sci 2007

    Dnt knw wat de fuk u typd You don't have to push each keyboard button 3 times to get the letter you want, so why type like a retarded little kid? The extra seconds it takes to type in proper readable english more than makes up for it otherwise taking 5 times as long to read.

    medical phyiscs, who else is doing it?

    Prac Projectile Motion Help

    In any projectile motion prac there will be aerodynamic drag on the object (however small). Under the assumption your experiment starts as a ball rolling down a slope and off a desk, friction will also play a notable role in inducing systematic error.

    how are radioactice isotopes metabolised by the body?

    This isn't true when irradiating thyroid gland tissue. As the thyroid requires a regular uptake of Iodine in order to synthesise thyroid hormones (due to T3 being composed of 2x tyrosine and 3x iodine and T4 being composed of 2x tyrosine and 4x iodine). Conveniently, 131I is a short-lived...

    UNSW Maths Competition

    I've got a lot of these UNSW Maths certificates dating from year 6 onwards. In hindsight, I don't really see the purpose of actually sitting the test due to university entrace being based almost exlusively on the UAI.
