How did we all go? Physics June 2011
« on: June 14, 2011, 01:52:18 pm »
How did everyone go on this years mid-year? Exam was longer than usual but I didn't consider it hard, just found it unable to word the theory answers correctly and shall i say wasn't "on the ball" today. So what do you think of it?

Quite trickier than previous years with a few questions I wasn't certain about.

When will we be able to find answers for the exam?

Electronics screwed me...I walked out in tears

There goes medicine I reckon. Hope chem saves me tomorrow

That was on a whole other level compared to 2009 and 2010. Theory questions are a bitch to do.
Basicly this was my anus before the exam --> o and after --> O

My detailed study (Further Electronics) was bullcrap. I had to guess a couple of the MULTIPLE CHOICE questions. Everything else was pretty simple :(

I found it quite ok. Some Further electronics qn was a bit weird though.
What about the standard electronics section?
Did you guys get 2.0A, 6.1V and 1.9W?

Also what about the LED modulation? it was just flipped over and didn't curve right?

Time killed me. In comparison to 2009 - 2010, this one was heaps harder.

thats what i got, but i didnt use the graph??? heaps of people were saying they got their answers off the graph, but i got exactly what u got through using the Total Resistance they give u(3.03 ohms) throughout that section......and farken S&M was the most time consuming ever! bloody force - extension graphs took ages to find stress, strain and YM...but im fairly confident...i know i got the last spring multi choice wrong (worth 3 marks) but that whole section was from 2008 VCAA! wtf?!?!?

BTW....motion seemed too easy?

and apparently the LED sketch was just the inverse of what they gave u..

Yeah I did same thing as you.

Yeah the LED graph was inverted but you had to make sure that the graph at any point didn't touch the bottom( i.e. Brightness=0) because it said on the previous page that the LED never turns off.
