How do you think you went? Do you reckon the exam was harder or easier than past exams? What were some question you found challenging? Exam discussion general!

I thought it was a touch easier than last year, however it was longer. Materials was nice i thought, and I made up the time I lost in the others.

There were a lot of explain questions, which i wrote essays explaining and describing, but my final answer in the end was wrong. Would i still get 2/3 marks in that case? or 1/2
Oh well Hope i still scrape an a+ :p

It was a bit harder than previous years I reckon because of how many worded questions there was.
I know of about 5marks I lost so hopefully didn't lose to many on the other questions...

That stupid towing the logs question got me because I forgot about the force due to acceleration on the second log  >:(

What did everyone write for the action reaction question with the 2kg mass suspending by the ceiling.

Yeah thats what everyone was saying so I think your right :D Idk why i put ceiling, I guess i thought the fact that the string had no mass,so it didnt apply to it :s

TOO MUCH EXPLANATION! I couldn't explain why diode 1 had the higher fraction of electrical energy converted to light energy and also Q7 of StrucMat confused me a bit for some reason

Action force was the gravitational force by the Earth on the 2kg sphere, hence the reaction force would be the gravitational force by the sphere on the Earth. Remember that action-reaction forces never act on the same body.
