They use two factors in bone mass densitometry - velocity of sound through the bone, and attentuation of the sound wave by the bone.
More dense bone = faster speed of sound and more attenuation
Healthy bone denser than osteoporotic bone.
Therefore blah blah blah
It's actually a five year rule, but there is definitely going to be some overlap in what questions they select this year compared to the last two years.
Count on a titration question being in there somewhere...
Yeah, I caught the 'display' bit at the end of that 8-marker just in time as well.
With the bone density, the properties I put down were:
1. Different velocity in materials of different density.
2. Different attenuation in materials of different density
both of which are measured in bone...
It was better overall than what I was expecting.
First couple of questions were really good :D , but the remainder were not so good :confused: .
And that projectile motion question was purely evil.
:chainsaw:
relax, you're not the only one.
but take heart... if you manage to get 5 questions out right, you'll get a really good scaled mark.
though anything beyond that is obviously good too :)
Good luck everyone.
Our physics teacher did it himself.
Then we played with the liquid nitrogen. Looks really cool when tiny clumps of nitrogen goes running off the desk really quickly, but never quite reaches the floor.
The motto of our school. We've been saying it all year, and I'll say it again:
The Board of Studies are Tools.
Seriously, in addition to the above stuff-up, that paper should have gone for 3 hours, not 2.
