Look at these 1990s hsc engineering science questions, it's sad what the HSC has become for science, just to attempt to appeal to the masses who weren't even considering these subjects in the first place.
While the first question is doable with HSC mod 5 physics knowledge, it literally will never be asked in a HSC exam since it will be too "controversial" as everyone's gonna cry post exam on how it was such an impossible question (which can partly be blamed due to the fact that we were never exposed to challenging questions in the current syllabus). Personal anecdote of mine, when the 2024 physics exam finished, coming out the exam hall many were saying "that parallel plates question was SOOO hard I could only do part I" meanwhile it was just basic algebra. And "how were we suppose to derive that" which once again, was just basic algebra. This goes to show nobody was challenged by past HSC Physics questions, and when they asked slightly harder questions - that still don't even compare to 1990s hsc eng sci - everyone folded. Are yall serious?
Trebla, move this to my thread if you wish
