    Physics Half Yearly Questions

    Re: I screwed up my half yearlies "ROFL"ing at this guy who had the audacity to claim he knew something about Physics (sorry :(:haha:), and yet proceeded to spout that: Mate you have no clue about how galvanometers work! If your "plasma physicist" gave you this explanation, please tell him...

    Medicine: UNSW vs USyd

    Hey I want to do med at uni and was looking at the two main universities for medince in Sydney: UNSW and USyd. While everyone seems to be going to UNSW for medicine, everyone who gets 100 UAI seems to be flocking to USyd. I know USyd offers a $10,000 p.a. scholarship and an extra degree but...

    How do we determine our aligned marks?

    What the hell!? According to the SAM Physics scales better than Chemistry which is obviously wrong.

    G forces?

    I am such an idiot- I know how to do it now. As the rocket is accelerating from Mars, the gravity of Earth is ignored, so the g of Earth is zero. But the g force is defined as: (mg + ma) / mg , that means the force acting on astronaut is compared with the gravity of Earth acting on the...

    G forces?

    What method were you planning on using? you can't use 9.8 anymore because that is acceleration due to gravity on earth, but now the rocket is in space so the accerelation due to gravity that it experiences is from Jupiter and Mars. I was planning to work out g using the Law of Universal...

    G forces?

    I don't think that calculation is quite right because 1+26.95/9.8=1+2.75=3.75 But the algebra is fine. Aero with the information that has been presented, I'm not too sure about how to go about it, because the space rocket is no longer on earth, therefore g is no longer 9.8. Usually that...

    Production of HDPE

    Ok then thanks alot Pwnage101. You've helped heaps. Can you also explain what happens to the initiator radical during LDPE production. Is it still part of the polymer after termination? And what does "engulfed by the reaction" mean? Thanks <!-- google_ad_section_end --> <script...

    Production of HDPE

    Ok, so they will never ask you a question such as "Describe the process by which High Density Polyethylen is produced" and you will need to describe initation, propagation and termination?

    G forces?

    For this question, the book's answers are right Working for both a) and b): the rocket is on earth therefore g= 9.8 m/s/s acceleration is 26.95 m/s/s Formula: g force = apparent weight/ true weight = (mg+ma)/mg Therefore g force = (g+a)/g sub...

    Production of HDPE

    Hi, I know that the production of LDPE involves initiation, propagation and termination. However how is HDPE produced? I know its through the Ziegler-Natta process and it use a catalyst which is a mixture of Titanium(III) Choride and a trialkylaluminium (e.g. triethylaluminium), but how...

    2008 Maths Competition

    Hey 3 questions: Did anyone get a Prize Certificate but not their CHEQUE!?!?!? Has anyone heard about occasions where schools have taken the prize money? What were the cutoffs this year for Senior?

    English advanced score determines if you get UAI 99+?

    Hi, I was just wondering if it is possible to get a UAI of 99+ if you don't get a band 6 in English but a band 6 in all your other subjects. Have any of you got or heard of someone getting a UAI of 99+ without a band 6 in English advanced? Thanks for your attention, Rheyn

    NYSF 2009 Roll Call

    lol no! I just want to know a little more about the other people who are going. This is like those roll call thingies they do for diferent uni courses. I'm not some striving prick.

    Does you school affect your UAI?

    Ok I got it now. The process described by me earlier is how they determine your Exam mark (so it's possible that the mark you get isn't really your mark). So if your final rank is 1st and in the HSC exam you mess up and get say 60 out of 100 while 6th place gets 99 out of 100, because you...

    MED CSP Bonded Places

    Hey, I was just wondering what happens if someone gets offered a CSP bonded place, at say UNSW (hypothetically), and he breaks the terms of his contract by not spending six years in a rural area after his training. Can that person break the contract? What happens if they do? Is it just them...
