What Is A Band 6 Student - Physics
What Is A Band 6 Student - Physics
0 Current Standards set in 2002 0 Band descriptors are set to describe the MIDDLE of
the band
HSC Judging
0 Not only are examinations marked, they are also
judged against criteria to determine which band a student and their responses falls into
0 Judges build an image of what a borderline student
looks like
Band 6
0 demonstrates an extensive
knowledge and understanding of the concepts of the physics course content including context, prescribed focus areas and domain
concepts using appropriate physics terminology and some illustrative examples and applies the concepts to unfamiliar situations
describe and explain physics concepts, including abstract ideas, clearly and accurately, and to apply the concepts to unfamiliar situations
and sequentially using a variety of scientific formats
The engine of a remote controlled plane of mass 25kg provides a constant force of 400N. This plane is put into a vertical ascent for 5 seconds until the engines cut out. If the initial vertical velocity is 15ms-1 and the ascent begins 20m off the ground, determine the maximum height reached by the plane.
Whilst playing tennis, Jono serves a carrot with a velocity of 45ms-1 at an angle of 6.5degrees below the horizontal. The height of the carrot as it leaves his stick is 2.45m above the ground. The net is 12.2m away and is of height 0.92m. Determine whether the carrot clears the net.
