$By using the fact that work is the change in kinetic energy$

$Prove that for a projectile in projectile motion$

$(v_y)^2 = (v_0 \sin \theta)^2 -2gy$

$Where$ \ \ v_y \ \ $is the vertical component of velocity$
$\theta \ \ $is the angle of projection$$
$v_0 \ \ $is the initial velocity$$
$g \ \ $is the acceleration due to gravity$$
$y \ \ $is the vertical displacement$$

$W = change in Ek.$

$W = Ek(final) - Ek(initial)$

$Ek(final)y = -mgh + Ek(initial)y$ (F=mg, W= Fr (Tungsten = Francium

)) (BUT REMEMBER THAT GPE IS ALWAYS NEGATIVE!!!)

$0.5m v(final)^2 = -mgh + 0.5m v(initial)^2$

$v(final)^2 = -2gh + v(initial)^2$ (1)

$sin(theta) = V(initial)y/ V(initial)o$ (Draw a triangle of the object at rest at the starting position)

$V(initial)y = Vosin(theta)$ (2)

Therefore, substituting equation (2) into (1) gives us:

$Vy^2 = (VoSin(theta))^2 - 2gy$

Now someone have a go at my last question before I forget the band 6 response!!! (8 marks)

I can't read it well but if you showed it, you showed it, nice work.

Thanks.

What code do you use for the font you have? I tried to use the same one but it didn't work.
Also, sub- and super-scripts don't work here the same as word, so yeah I had troubles with that.

It's Latex: http://www.codecogs.com/latex/eqneditor.php

When the motor of an electric drill is experiencing a load, its rotational speed lowers which in turn lowers the back EMF of the motor. Net EMF = Supply EMF - Back EMF. If the back EMF is decreased, the net EMF increases and so does the current flowing through the coils of the motor. The greater the current flowing through the coils the greater the electrical power lost to heat by power loss=I^2*R making the motor more likely to overheat.

Good answer. Post a question if you like.

If you couldn't be bothered learning LaTeX, then you can just use the equation system on Google Docs (https://drive.google.com/), then use http://puush.me/ to take screenshots of it.

Insert -> equation gets you started and there's a toolbar for a bunch of mathematical symbols and what not.

It's really, really easy to use. ^ is superscript, and _ is subscript, etc.

Questions:

1. Explain why Michelson and Morley expected a change in the interference pattern received by the detector of the interferometer.
2. A circular disc of conducting material is rotating clockwise. The bottom part of the disc is in a magnetic field going into of the page. Explain what happens to the disc and why.

Explain the purpose of using a radial magnet in a galvanometer.

Explain the purpose of using a radial magnet in a galvanometer.

According to the equation F=BIL sinx , where x is the angle at which a conductor is orientated to an uniform magnetic field, once the galvanometer needle is moved, the force induced will vary as the needle moves. Radial magnetic fields are uniform within a consistent radius from the centre of the field, at the tip of the needle. This means that as the needle tilts, its angle to the radius of the circle of particular strength will be 90 degrees. This occurs because the needle and magnetic field form a radius and tangent.
Hence, a radial magnetic field provides equal force on the needle, no matter how much it is tilted. Since a galvanometer detects tiny currents, it is necessary to have a uniform magnetic field as the needle is tilted, hence the use of the radial magnetic field.

Someone do my question if they are bothered

$If it were possible to squash the Earth into a smaller sphere without losing any mass$

$How much would you have to squash the Earth, so that the Earth becomes a black hole?$

$i) How much energy does a 500g energy drink contain?$

$ii) It is impractical to extract this energy from the mass, the only way to convert energy from mass is a collision of matter and anti-matter$

$e^{+} + e^{- } \rightarrow 2\gamma$

$Is the collision of an electron and anti-electron, determine the energy released on collision$

$A black hole is a body that light cannot escape$

$Hence its a body where the escape velocity is greater than the speed of light$

$Knowing that escape velocity is given by$

$v_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r}}$

$$We have to find$ \ \ r \ \ $such that$ \ \ v_e = c$

$\therefore \ \ r = \frac{2GM_e}{c^2}$

Hence we need to shrink the Earth to a radius r, whereby, $M_e \ = \ $mass of earth$$

$G \ = \ $gravitation constant$$

$c \ = \ $speed of light in vacuum$$

Calculations then follow to find the new radius of the Earth

========

A new follow up question:

$$If the Earth was compressed to produce a black hole, predict what would happen with this compressed body of mass of radius$ \ \ r$

It isn't directly related to the Physics syllabus but I think its rather interesting, but of course can be answered with HSC physics knowledge, just a bit of imagination.
