    My half yearlies -- post yours..

    Awwww... don't do that to yourself, Haboozin! ;) Your mark was still heaps solid, and, just remember, it's still early days and, without something to improve upon, what fun would there be in all this? I'm sure you'll do fine this year :)

    how did everyone go in their 1st or 2nd hsc economics assessments

    It's called a joke, chuckles! Cheer up! If you had read the post prior to mine, you'd have noticed that Airness wrote "Whatever comes down, must go up!". This, of course, is in direct opposition to the principle of gravity.

    Macquarie Physics? Is it worth its salt?

    Thanks heaps, champ! Lol, tough break with missing that practice exam before your term end! Maybe you'll get lucky next time! ;) Still, though, it's pretty dodgy for your teacher to have pulled a cut and paste on you (or, even if it was from another source, for him to not realise it was...

    question concerning SMALL classes

    And what would be the case if you were the only student in a class? Like, if you were enrolled in a distance education program not being undertaken by anyone but yourself? Would this favour you?

    My half yearlies: Post yours..

    I agree very much so with this, and also think that it raises a very good point about the mindset that should be sought after in both one's approaches to study, and to exam mastery. Speaking as someone having had little experience, thus far, with past papers in MX2, I have, in spite of this...

    how did everyone go in their 1st or 2nd hsc economics assessments

    Stop it! You're confusing me! Advice to future HSC students: Do NOT do both Physics and Economics! There's too much conflict involved! Waaaah....

    Macquarie Physics? Is it worth its salt?

    Hey guys, I just grabbed my copy of Macquarie Chem the other day and noticed, inside the cover, that they also have one for Physics in publication. If anyone's had any experience with this one at all, or has anything at all handy to tell me about it, that'd be awesome. So far, the Chem one...

    why would an improvement in the Terms of Trade be a negative thing?

    No, not according to the remainder of my post. Read the rest. Yeah... just relax for a sec and think about it :p Ask yourself what has happened. The answer should be, export prices are now higher relative to import prices. That considered, what you have written above would hold if, and only...

    why would an improvement in the Terms of Trade be a negative thing?

    An acronym for the Balance on Goods and Services.

    why would an improvement in the Terms of Trade be a negative thing?

    A TOT improvment can be negative if it's accompanied by a deterioration in the CAD, which it usually is (A TOT means export prices have risen relative to imports, which will generally spur a greater outflow of funds on the BOGS). This, obviously, contributes to greater external instability and...

    Quick Question on Lenzs Law

    No, you are speaking of conditions before induction. I am speaking of them after. You have misunderstood my post, and misrepresented your stance. What you've said is not incorrect, but nor is mine incorrect (what do you think of my double negative usage there?). Oh, and drop the didactics...

    MY QUESTION IS, DOES LENZ"S LAW ONLY APPLY TO MOTORS AND HENCE BACK EMF?

    Produces a magnetic field which produces a force which opposes... etc. etc. If there is a change in magnetic flux, then coil and magnet have been put in relative motion. If they have been put in relative motion, then a force has been applied to one. If a force has been applied to one, then to...

    Quick Question on Lenzs Law

    You are wrong. By your logic, A will become negative, which is, incidentally, what I have already explained three times now. Try throwing off the shackles of an indefensible narcissism and listening to others for a change. You might save yourself some embarrassment. Conventional current is...

    Post Your Half-yearly Mark

    That's a good point. When you mention internal assessment marks, do you mean the moderated figures (whether or not you ever become privy to these, I'm not certain), or the raw marks before moderation? I ask because I'm under the impression mean HSC marks are taken from your exam marks and your...

    Quick Question on Lenzs Law

    You said B was negative. This is true. But you said B was negative because positives flow from B to A. This is false.

    Major exchange rate question - from syllabus!

    Yeah, I know it's important. It's also easy to master, though. All I was saying was not to give it any unduly great attention, because of how easy it is (and how naturally it should come out).

    Major exchange rate question - from syllabus!

    Yeah, no worries, man! I'm HSC 2005 by the way, so I'm just as inexperienced as anyone else :P The marks you're describing aren't bad, bro. Most of my classmates average 14-15 in any of their 20 mark tasks. They could be better, though, but I just want you to know you aren't screwed or...

    Quick Question on Lenzs Law

    leaving B positive and A negative. No, it's travelling from A to B. It will end up travelling from B to A after electromagnetic induction has taken place. Make this one change and everything else you've said is fine. Yep, you've answered the question.

    Quick Question on Lenzs Law

    Nah, it's A, unless you are defining current differently. By the syllabus definition, it's A. Hang on... I've given you the polarity after the current is induced. But you've just asked for what the polarity is under the circumstances as they are in the diagram :P :P :P Ha ha :P :P :P I...

    Quick Question on Lenzs Law

    Hey, dude! I looooove these questions! There are so many different ways to go about them. I'll show you my two fave ways! (The negative end is A, by the way ;)) 1. The scenario you're describing has electrons moving up the page (and therefore protons, or positive charge, moving down the...
