The New Leaving Cert Quiz

The Walsho

Time for another one of these perhaps?

I'll start with an easy one. Maths : Give the formula for solving a quadratic equation.

fivetwenty

Well . . . Depends what you're looking for, no?

f(x)=0? b(squared)-4ac? Or is it the double brackets with factoring underneath the original Eq?



Ok, Physics - What's the device that converts AC to DC Voltage?

The Walsho

Sorry my question was unclear, I meant the b(squared)-4ac one.

Your question - A diode?

If so : History - Give two reasons for the Rise Of Fascism in Italy.

Business
Define market research
Give to advantages of market research
4 external and internal sources of ideas for a business

English
An sample intro to the question ..."Why does the poetry of Derek Mahon appeal to you?"

A business / enterpriser takes the initiative to find out more about the market in order to gain a better understanding of rival strategies consumer needs and how to satisfy them, by using Internal and External sources.

Adv: Satisfy Customer needs
Increases chance of profits
Saves money off a potentially unsuccessful product

EXT: Trade Fairs, Trade Magazines, Staff Trips, Internet, Marketing Advisors.

INT: Brainstorming, Salesforce suggestions, Employee Suggestions, Consumer Feedback.


English:

Derek Mahon is a c*nt, but we love him anyway.






Ah no, something like he once described himself as "a strange child with a taste for verse" and a "European poet from Belfast" - I find these self analogies very interesting yada yada yada (even though I really don't)

1huge1

Answering business question (don't do chemisty and don't study mahon)

1: market research is the going out and obtaining the research yourself as opposed to desk research which is were you research info already gotten (bit of waffle in there but i know it)
2: find out what YOU want
1st hand info (how many points you want)
3 external= trade fairs, competition, magazaines etc
internal= sales records, brainstorming...

Not greatly answered but im knackered

Ok a geography question:
give me the basic points of physical side of the paris basin

business question:
EU decision making process

fivetwenty

Still have to do Geog - but Physical aspects, I seem to remember it covers 21km(squared) or something, Flat, low-lying fertile land suitable for farming, consists of the river Rheine & Rhone or something? Cool Temperate Maritime climate?

As for Business, The Parliament makes a suggestion / puts forward an amendment.
The XXX reviews it and sends it back to the parliament.
Parliament make adjustments and send in their final conditions.
Council Of Ministers review it, get a second opinion from XXX, allows XXX to review it if needed, and they jointly pass the law.
'
Can't remember for the life of me who XXX is - Maybe they're the Parliament? I know the groups in total are The Ministers, Court Of Justice, Parliament.

Anyway, make that my question

fivetwenty

Ok - The Commission take the Parliaments place, the Parliament = XXX.

The Ampere Definition (physics)? *ack*

The ampere is a current which, if running through two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross section, and placed 1 metre apart in a vacuum, would produce a force on the conductors of 2×10–7 newton per metre.

That's a bitch of a definition.

I don't think I do this subject, or I hope I don't. Either way, I dunno what RCD or MCB is...

and

Using first p's of differentiation ,find y= CosX

f(x) = cosx, let h = a small change in x
f(x+h) = cos(x+h)

dy/dx = lim(h -> 0) ( f(x + h) - f(x) ) / h

f(x+h) - f(x) = cos(x + h) - cos(x)

cosA - cosB = -2sin((A + / 2).sin((A - / 2)

f(x+h) - f(x) = -2sin(( x + h + x ) / 2).sin(( x + h - x ) / 2)

f(x+h) - f(x) = -2sin(( 2x + h ) / 2).sin( h / 2)

f(x+h) - f(x) / h = -2sin(( 2x + h) / 2).sin( h / 2) / h

(multiply above an below by 1/2)

f(x+h) - f(x) / h = -2sin(( 2x + h) / 2).( sin( h / 2) / (h/2) ). (1/2)

lim (h -> 0)f(x+h) - f(x) / h = -2sin(( 2x + h) / 2).( sin( h / 2) / (h/2) ). (1/2)

(sinx/x = 1)

=-2sin(2x/2).1.(1/2)

= -sinx

:cool:

Probably wrong but heres my effort

1. Single global market.
Treat the world as one single market by creating global brands to meet the demands of a global consumer
2. Standardised products.
Produce identical products in all plants with some slight modifications for some countries e.g. right hand drive in ireland/ left hand drive in france

Chemistry: define first ionisation energy

Physics: what is newton's 2nd law?

ammount of energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from 1 mole of neutral gaseous atoms in their ground state

gosh i hate that newton guy i think its to do with momentum before bieng equal to momentum after, so here it goes

when a force acts on a body the momentum before collision is equal to the momentum after collision and acts in the direction of the force


EDIT: my question
physics option 1
name the fundamental forces experienced by hadrons

give the quark composition for a pion

chemistry

define the second ionization energy

Hadrons feel all four fundamental forces. Ie, Gravitational Force, Electromagnetic Force, Strong Nucleur Force and Weak Nuclear force.

A pion is up-antidown i think... Its a Meson though.

My questions:

French: Give and example of a demonstrative pronoun (in french)

Maths: Give the formula for the Tan of the angle between two lines

Physics: Explain Einstein's Photoelectric Law. What is the Work function?

Applied Maths: State the two laws governing collisions of two bodies?

Economics: How do banks create credit?

Cokehead Mother

French: Give and example of a demonstrative pronoun (in french)

Cette?

Maths: Give the formula for the Tan of the angle between two lines

(m1 + m2)/(1 - m1m2)

Physics: Explain Einstein's Photoelectric Law. What is the Work function?

so hf = work function + kinetic energy

So hf is like the the energy provided

and then the work function is the minimum energy required to release the energy ( h x threshold freq)

and then the kinetic energy is the energy the electrons have while moving or something

Applied Maths: State the two laws governing collisions of two bodies?

law of conservation of momentum and newton's experimental law of restitution

Question

Geography : Paris Basin

Bit more specific maybe?

Ok ill take tertiary

Id talk about the tourism and go on about all the historic places in the city and eurodisney and they likes
Id talk about the transport sector, all about the metro, their motorways, give figures here and there. etc
then id talk about some emplyment areas in services.

Ok ill ask a geography question aswel.

Tell me about the mezzogiorno's primary sector.

Tell me about the mezzogiorno's primary sector.

The region has a high %age of illliteracy (30%) and unemployment.
Even though it holds 40% of Italys population, it only produces 25% of its income per capital..
Theft, organised crime common...
Fishing popular near the coast, but ports not up to EU standards.
Forestry was once popular but overgrazing led to barren land.
Trees cut down and not replanted...
Region relies on farming, yet it's underdeveloped and old-fashioned methods...no crop rotation etc...
Soil poor and infertile....Mountainous Relief!
Land Reforms created 120,000 new jobs for people in the region....Even though these plots of land were small they gave people a chance to make a living.
EU Objective 1 region....living standards poor compared with rest of europe..

Hows that? Would that be enough for an A 1huge1? you seem to be good at geog!

OK...continuing on the geography theme - Plate tectonics - discuss

1huge1

Ya geography would be one of my strong topics alright, well you have a fair amount of points there and if you develop them well you'd get max srp's. just one thing though how would you relate theft and organised crime to primary activities?

as for plate tectonics

Id talk about the structure of the earth (might as well stick it in somewhere)
then go on about alfred wegener and and his proofs
then hess and ewings proofs
then talk about all the types of plate boundries giving examples (e.g divergent mid atlantic ridge)
and with convergent id talk about oceon-oceon, oceon-land with the oceon being heavier and subducting below etc
might seem short but I could get a lot out of all that
id finish the question off talking about earthquakes and volcanoes giving examples e.g kobe japan 1995 €20billion...
1994 san andreas fault

ok maybe move away from the geography for a while

business:

Benefits of being a PLC?!?

Riotguy

^

- Potential for raising of huge sums of capital, through public share issues.

- Unlimited Liability, no shareholder is personally liable for debts incurred by the business itself.

- Listing of the PLCs name on the Stock Exchange is beneficial for promotion of good image.

- Financial institutions are more prepared to lend to major organisations such as PLCs, and PLCs attract high-quality staff with range of expertise.
