<p>So....what did you guys think? I was disappointed that mechanics consisted of such a little portion.</p>
<p>i didn't take it. but i'm curious, because i'm taking phys in NOv.</p>
<p>Thought it wasn't too bad...</p>
<p>Wasn't sure abt the sound stuff though>.< haaa.</p>
<p>But I just checked, the curve is REALLY lenient. it's like, 15 wrong=780?? That's insane:)</p>
<p>can microwaves get refracted?</p>
<p>Refraction of Microwaves. 10 cm microwaves refracted through wax prism.</p>
<p>--lol some random thing I found thru' gooogling.</p>
<p>BUT I HAVE NO IDEA.</p>
<p>Sound..? Diffracted/refracted?</p>
<p>(btw are we allowed to discuss ze questions!)</p>
<p>i have no clue, i think sound can get reflected but not refracted since it travels along the medium</p>
<p>haha. i dunno.</p>
<p>Was the special relativity question standard? Sigh, didn't study that :</p>
<p>sound can be both refracted and reflected. think of water going from air to water, the sound travels much slower. echo's are reflection.</p>
<p>special relativity is extremely common on the physics sat 2.</p>
<p>Lol. Thankfully only one came out this time around! (I think!)</p>
<p>What was it supposed to be! Did you do that question..
I just guessed-.-</p>
<p>I believe it was .7c<x<c, but i'm not entirely sure, it was the answer that was right under the value of c</p>
<p>wait doesn't sound travel faster in water?</p>
<p>sorry yeah sound travels faster, but it's just more dull. but sound waves can be refracted.</p>
<p>Did anyone get 3 Ds and then 3 Es in a row? What was the answer to the satellite problem? I put 1/9g.</p>
<p>Was the work done by the engine Q1-Q2?</p>
<p>Yes to all your questions (assuming I got the correct answers as well, but proabbly since we both got same thing)</p>
<p>Is total internal reflection (B) the answer to the 2nd problem? It was on fiber optics...</p>
<p>That's what I put.</p>
<p>How many can you skip/miss to still get an 800?</p>
<p>You can skip around 13-15 and still get an 800, and maybe miss like 12 for an 800. What was the last question? Was it increasing the rate of magnetic field? And magnetic field lines are enclosed loops on a current?</p>
<p>That's what I put too...WHat was the answer to the one where 1 ball is dropped and 1 is shot; the acceleration?</p>
<p>I was pretty sure, but not entirely...</p>
<p>i thought it was pretty hard, there was a lot more stuff on electric/magnetic fields than i thought there'd be. also, i was disappointed that there wasnt more stuff on mechanics (work, forces, friction, etc). </p>
<p>but idk, i did get most of the answers people are posting here, and ideally i'd like to get in the 700s but the 600s is just fine, so i hope the curve helps me out.</p>
<p>"That's what I put too...WHat was the answer to the one where 1 ball is dropped and 1 is shot; the acceleration?"</p>
<p>That was the one where it asked what was the same for both, right? Either way, i'm pretty sure i said acceleration as well.</p>
