Is it possible that they'll ask a curveball question in physics based on pollution and such where rather than using the information in the syllabus, you'll be required to use your logic and understanding as well as the syllabus to answer the question?

I read this in a study guide

Very possible that they'll present a new (but related) situation as a bit of a "curveball," requiring some logic and solid knowledge of physics principle  ;D all the more reason to understand everything in your syllabus!  ;D

But is it possible they'll ask it on pollution to the environment and such because in this case, I don't think you can rely on the syllabus dot points in isolation but you'll need to rely on the prescribed focus areas (which a lot of students seem to neglect)?

I don't remember pollution being related to anything in the preliminary Physics syllabus. For it to be asked, it would have to be linked to a dot point, what dot point do you think it relates to?  :)

I think it was int the HSC. If pollution to the environment were to be asked in prelim, it would most likely be asked in electrical energy in the home

They won't ask something related to the HSC in Prelim! However, just checked the syllabus a little more closely, and you are right it could indeed pop up for this dot point:

assess some of the impacts of changes in, and increased access to, sources of energy for a community
