    favourite subject?

    Really? The only topic i actually enjoyed in preliminary physics was the cosmic engine. HSC Space module is pretty interesting, furthering your work on moving about and integrating it with space, and you learn about Einstein's theory of special relativity. Motors and generators is much more...

    Random surd question :)

    \sqrt{11 - 6\sqrt{2}} \equiv a + b\sqrt{2} $Squaring both sides$ 11 - 6\sqrt{2} \equiv (a + b\sqrt{2})^2 $Go from here$

    Emf

    Posted my response before i saw yours Spiral, didn't mean for you to delete your response. Was anticipating an awesome explanation.

    Emf

    EMF = Electromotive force. It is synonymous with potential difference and voltage, the things that cause charged particles to move. Back EMF is only the same as induced EMF when it opposes the supplied EMF. In a motor, when the power source is switched on and the armature is constantly...

    Trig Equations Question Prelim 3unit

    You mean solve for x? 2sin^2x + cosx = 2 $Recall Pythagorean identity: $ sin^2x + cos^2x = 1 sin^2x = 1 - cos^2x $Using this,$ 2(1 - cos^2x) + cosx = 2 2 - 2cos^2x + cosx = 2 2cos^2x - cosx = 0 cos(2cosx - 1) = 0 $I'm going to assume the domain of solutions is restricted between 0 and...

    Why Zn Displaces Cu from a solution?

    It is more reactive than copper, meaning it has a greater tendency to donate electrons than copper. Copper, being less reactive, has a greater tendency to accept electrons. So if you dip copper in to a Cu2+ solution, zinc will oxidise donating electrons to the copper ions forming Zn2+ and...

    Gravimetrical Analysis - Help

    I remember vaguely that it is used to sample areas that are potentially rich with desired minerals/metals. Have a look in your textbook.

    STATE RANKING CHEM (3rd) AND BIO (12th) and MODERN NOTES

    Chemistry notes are incredible! Each dot point is thoroughly covered - some containing model answers to past HSC questions which you can model your answers after. Highly recommended for anyone looking for excellent chemistry notes.

    I've forgotten where.. Spent some time in year 11 gathering all the resources i could get my hands on haha. No problem, i'm glad i helped! Best of luck with the rest of your HSC. :)

    More rationalisation help

    At least finish off rationalising.. Don't just leave it there.. (1 + \sqrt{2})^2 - \frac{(1 - \sqrt{2})^2}{(1 + \sqrt{2})^2(1 - \sqrt{2})^2} = 3 + 2\sqrt{2} - \frac{3 - 2\sqrt{2}}{(-1)^2} = 3 + 2\sqrt{2} - \frac{3 - 2\sqrt{2}}{1} = 4\sqrt{2}

    More rationalisation help

    Rationalise right term first by multiplying numerator and denominator by (1 - \sqrt{2})^2 Expand left term. Combine both terms together for answer.

    Can someone help me UNDERSTAND melting and biling points.

    Liquid. Temperatures < -119 degrees celcius would be solid. Substance will start melting at -119 degrees celcius. Temperatures > -119 degrees celcius would be liquid (assumed all temperatures higher will be liquid as no boiling point given) So temperature = 1 degrees celcius would be liquid.

    You could practise writing essays to various types of questions so you'll be prepared for any question they throw at you tomorrow.

    Band 6 in chemistry, despite utterly and miserably failing prelim?

    No problem! I think those are the main calculations although i may have forgotten something. If you need any further clarifications with any of those concepts, feel free to PM me.
