    Orbiting concept

    Hmm, it sounds a bit too complicated for an HSC question, unless they wanted you to just assume that g remained constant throughout? Right now I'm just thinking you could work out the angle assuming g is constant and the range is Earth's radius, but it's 9pm and my brain isn't exactly...

    Distinction Course Discussion

    Yeah I know, but I mean I have to do them some time. I've already next to killed myself once trying to do module 3 in the space of 3 days, I don't plan on doing that again in the near future. =P As for the printed material: damn you. :P

    Distinction Course Discussion

    Haha yep, that's pretty much it. Seriously, I've sat at my computer for the past 3 days with the full intent of doing modules 4 - 6 and all I've managed to do is read the first sentence of Reading 4.1. I think it would've been so much better if we got the whole thing printed for us. The...

    Distinction Course Discussion

    ^ Hmm well I only got an 88 in Chem and did pretty crap in all my other subjects and still got in. =S Bah, I'd have been so devastated if I hadn't gotten into Cosmo... and now that I'm in I really can't be bothered doing any work lol. The stuff is fascinating but I'm just too damn lazy and the...

    Thanks, will do.

    Universities in Sydney -- Studying physics?

    I'd just like some information on what the different physics courses at different unis are like and how they differ. I know there's about a million and one threads like these, and I've read through a lot of them but none have *really* helped... Rate Your Uni doesn't really help with the...

    Future Plans: What ATAR/course/job are you aiming for?

    Re: Future Plans: What UAI/course/job are you aiming for? Haha I was just about to point out the same thing...

    would you let someone borrow your book?

    I have to agree with "it depends on the person". I decided to give one of my friends who's known for being messy a chance and I lent one to her for 2 weeks... when it came back it looked like it had been dropped in a swimming pool, chucked in a dryer and god knows what else was done to it...

    What Physics Formulas are not on - Data sheet

    Well unless I've been doing something wrong, for the calculations of projectiles projected off cliffs at an angle you have to calculate it in 2 steps, one for the time it takes to be level with the cliff, and one for how long it takes to hit the ground from that level? That way I figured could...

    What Physics Formulas are not on - Data sheet

    Also, as for the formulas that aren't on the data sheet, I've made a list but it's only part for part of the Space topic so I'm not sure if there's any more from the rest of the topic that aren't on here... Most of these are fairly easy to derive so it's probably only worth remembering the more...

    What Physics Formulas are not on - Data sheet

    Just a question... from that equation and the quadratic equation you can derive that t = \frac{u_y + \sqrt{u_y^2 + 2 * a * \bigtriangleup y}}{a} ... right? I've tried it on a couple of questions and it seems to work, but I could be wrong. However if it does work, would you be allowed to...

    Is hsc English a real subject?

    At least you weren't forced to take math against your will. I hate English with a passion but I don't think it's a "fake" subject. The thing I'm totally opposed against, though, is the compulsory study of English. Think about the uproar that would've been raised if people were FORCED to study...
