1984 (The other user only answered the location)

Based on the test at the last competition, there seems to be a lot of questions on history, so:
What is the fastest speed ever reached by a MagLev train?

What did your guys' labs consist of? Ours was just a hypothetical situation on paper dealing with a galvanic cell, and calculating specific heats for the other part.

Ahah! I guessed one of them correctly. These topics are so much better than last year's imo

Yah...whatever it is, hopefully it's better than harmonics and enzymes >.<

Okay. Let's start out with a SUPER easy basic question.
Let's say that a circuit has one resistor (lightbulb) and one battery.
The battery produces 10V, and the resistor has 2 Ohms.
How many amperes are running through the circuit?

Classic Ohm's Law question!
answer|5A

Edit: Oops! It appears I ...

Anybody know the topics? I heard a rumor that part of it was on thermodynamics.

Seems a lot of people want Optics back...Me too, was the first event which I did well in

Is anybody going to take up the bonus point challenge and add ice water to their beaker? It doesn't say how many bonus points so I'm not sure if it's worth it or not. If you do, are you allowed to make your prediction AFTER seeing the temperature of the hot water+the cool water?

Also, the rules ...

So has anybody who has done the event know how it is run and what the test/lab is like?
