HSC 2017 Predictions/Preparation Thread [Physics] (1 Viewer)

Post predictions here and discuss thoughts about the upcoming exam.

I'm hoping to see the scientist one e.g. Goddard or Planck vs Einstein

Ew, why would you want to see one of those
I personally really hope they dont come up, unfortunately it probably will, do you reckon a question regarding MAGLEV trains or Cathode ray televisions will show up?

hoping for a hard projectile

Jk don't really want them to come up. But hopefully no dodgy questions. Maybe maglev trains could come or cathode ray TVs since those haven't been asked that often, especially CRT. A 3-4 marker on how a CRT operates could be cool but would trick some people.

hoping for a hard projectile

Yep maybe 3+ marks since there wasn't one last year

Planck hasn't been asked in the past 4 years
Einstein + quantum theory last asked in 2013
Goddard and stuff not since 2013
Band structure diagrams maybe??

maybe use of superconductors in transmission lines? benefits and disadvantages

cuz if this is in the test I'll shout ya maccas

I wouldn't mind a 4 marker on one of the scientists (Goddard and the crew...)
Also, do you think they would ask about the dotpoint which makes reference to Planck and Einstein's views on whether science should be combined with society and politics?
I haven't seen that...

may be
you cant really say it
they can ask stuff on faraday's work and its impact on society and etc

yeah, hopefully the questions are not too ambiguous, but again... that's what makes the test hard and decreases the Band 6 cut-off lol.
my prediction for 7 marker, superconductivity...

yeh idm
but fk induction motors cuz its too hard would rather prefer ideas

has anyone done an research assignment on goddard
