I hope BOS could now see the problem of taking out too much maths from physics and replacing them by words

Identify data sources, plan and perform a first hand investigation or gather second hand data for the controversy between the 2 camps of 2003 HSC physics students on the consequences of special relativity, and assess the effect of the debate on *physics*. In your description, refer to the...

paragraph 1: sentence 1: everything undergoes relativistic effect. sentence 2: you're confused with your distances. it's 8 lightyears for the spaceship but it's 80/6 = 13.3 light years for earth. and The derivations for those relationships in the lorentz transformations are slightly more...

your friend's answer is completely off. magnetic fields can't accelerate charges. F = q v X B (X -> cross product) W = integral F * dr but F is perpendicular to v so work = 0 and no acceleration.

For those who still believe it is D, let me ask you another question: A spaceship travels at a speed of 0.8c relative to the earth. there are 2 identical clocks, one on the ship and and one on the earth. for the journey, the astronaut observed 6 hours to have elapsed on the clock on the...

align is usually higher than scaled

I think everyone knows the real reason for changing physics exam into a history test.

It's B.... We'll see when the marking guidelines are released *grins*

number 3: fission reaction in nuclear reactors and atomic bombs such as the little boy, blah blah [insert synopsis of the 8 marker]

let's say 50+ aligned mark

not everyone else, I am with you guys, I am your friend :p First thing to do in relativity is to choose the frame of reference. and in this case, it's the spaceship's frame that is considered stationary and the earth's frame is 'moving' so it's B

not in a real synchroton but they managed to build this secret one at board of studies student torture lab that does make particles go in PERFERCT circles, so :p by the way, how did you get to work at fermi lab for work exp?

q5 is B, I can bet life on it. You're missing the whole point of relativity, first you have to choose your frame of reference, and from the question, your frame of reference would be the spaceship since it's asking you what is seen on the spaceship. hence the spaceship is the 'Stationary'...

so 5 is B right? I am pretty sure

lol.. look at the standards packages... I reckon some of the exemplar ones are horrible

02er's should give their 20cents

110ish.. if the marker are generous enough, my writing was messy

alright I guess.. think might loose 1 or two marks there and there.. hmm.. this exam was considerably harder than last years IMO (in my opinion :p)

Q 7 is fairly straight forward

part iv could be done by claiming (Pi^2/4 - x^2) < pi^2/4 and cos(x)<1 then integrating In v just follows on.
