SAT II Physics

<p>i guess the test was designed so that u either knew something or u didnt. Either u answered a question or skipped it completely.</p>

<p>yeah but some of the question were like common sense questions like one on how to reduce heat pollution ( you cant do that) and one on Shift in spectrum if a star moves away. It should shift to voilet ( Sun is a star and when it is setting the sky turns voilet)</p>

<p>I believe the latter is redshift</p>

<p>indeed...it is redshift...so much for thinking it was a breeze desbravo</p>

<p>you are right i gues i messed uo ther but still thats like 1 wrong and 1 blank and 3 guesses in the SAT physics exam so i am still hoping for a good score</p>

<p>well seeming u just got that question wrong what makes u think u didn't get the others wrong either? they always want people to think they got higher than usual...which in the end people get lower :-/ not to offend u or anything i thought this test was hard</p>

<p>i love how you can either get lucky with an easy test over mostly kinematics,etc. and then you can get a test like this one with electric fields and worthless crap</p>

<p>well i have studied the british system A levels . and like that is supposed to be tougher than the American AP Physics course. thats why i found this test easy. Like a B in Alevel physics is actually considered an A- in USA. And besides i read the baron book and most of the things came straight from that book. and besides even if io get 10 questions wrong (fat chance) i will still get a 800.</p>

<p>besides i am not posting to boast or anything i just wanna confirm answers and with someone</p>

<p>i wish i could slap that british arrogance out of you...lol</p>

<p>Its not arrogance. its a fact. US universities will count my As as A+ and Bs as A-. thats how the offical conversion is done.</p>

<p>oh i put 100 for that problem :(</p>

<p>Well I didnt do good either...I omitted about 16....and I took AP Physics B and passed with a 3 (currently taking APPC) .....so I feel for you guys...</p>

<p>well i ommited about 7 - and i guessed few - just to have a chance for 800 :) just kidding - i will be happy with 700 :)</p>

<p>For the sound wave one I got "sound waves can't travel in a vacuum"... does anyone remember any more questions?</p>

<p>So the P=mct one was 10,000 or 100?</p>

<p>i put 100....</p>

<p>I was sure sounds can travel in vacuum - so I was wrong?</p>

<p>yea i was wrong - sound cant travel in vacuum :(</p>

<p>i put 100 too but I used
Q<em>t = mc</em>(delta)T*t and I dono if that's right. Plus I kept getting 1/100...</p>

<p>It's OK tedjj, you've still got a good shot at 800.</p>

<p>What about the one about what accounts for photon emission from atoms (or something like that)? I put E (I think)... I think it was about discrete energy levels, which I immediatly assumed was Bohr's model.</p>

<p>I dont remember - what were other choices?</p>
