    Assessment ranks are in!

    im pretty sure they do have people on equal rankings. the school has to send in whole numbers to the board (as to what my teachers told me) and seeing as most the courses in my school have >100 students, it would be impossible to give everyone different rankings as ur ranking is dependant on how...

    The title of a creative

    Radioactive decay

    just remember that the electron is not emitted from the electron cloud but instead from the nucleus of the atom (like alpha decay) that way u'll have to remember the formula which shows how an electron is formed, as there are no electrons present in the nucleus of the atom

    Locus and parabola question

    Thanks heaps :) as you said, a silly mistake. i made (3, -1) as the centre instead of the other way around...and i was wondering why (-1, -2) wasnt directly below C as i had previously calculated XD just wondering, would it also be valid if i said angle ZXY= 90° because it is the angle in a...

    anyone know what capillarity is?

    lol, yep, so hopefully its right :/

    anyone know what capillarity is?

    its in the water topic. capillarity is the tendency of a liquid to rise up or fall down tubes right? well the up and down movement is a result of the unbalanced forces (suface tension) of the liquid. and water has surface tension due to its hydrogen bonding :) someone correct me if im wrong please
