thE rEasOn
this is the reason why i don't like physics:
"suppose you watch the sun set over a calm ocean while lying on the beach, starting a stopwatch just as the top of the sun disappears. you then stand, elevating your eyes by a height h=1.70m, and stop the watch when the top of the sun disappears. If the elapsed time on the watch is t=11.1s, what is the radius of the earth?"
firstly, why would i be timing the sunset when i'd probably be marveling at it's magnificence? secondly, wat in the world has tat timing gotta do with the radius of the earth? *pouts. if all the GAMSAT questions are like tat, i dun think i'd make it very far...
