All the measurements used in your calculations will be to so many significant figure. Quote your final answer to the least number of sig figs of any of your measurements

What are the formulas to be learnt?

Someone please state them.

we don't have any formulas to learn?  :-\
sometimes we just have to know basic ones like F=ma and W=mg etc

HOW WAS IT?!

For me, the first one was really good; the second... Not so much. It wasn't terrible though. :)

I found it so easy overall both experiments were good the only thing i think i may have got wrong was in experiment one with calculating the constant C but i still think I will have got 90%+ on that paper

*censored* the values of v, I didn't know how to measure "v". Took me ages cuz they made me do experiment 2 first (which took like 40 mins?) and made me wait 20 mins for using the 1st question's apparatus. effin gay. Rushed through the whole of question 1. Got all the values of v wrong. Rest was OKAY.

I hope I do well, but I can't say I did good nor can I say I did VERY bad.

OMG!! same here.. i had to do question 2 first and waited there for like 25mins.. and yes, rushed through question 1.. so my best fit line was absolutely horrible.. wanted to alter it but dont have enough time :( so we're seriously at a disadvantage..

ahh, i don't think we're supposed to discuss the actual questions this soon after the exam D:
but yeah, i wasn't sure about C either. i don't think you'd lose many marks though for the final value (maybe just 1), as long as you knew how to solve it and showed your working.  :)

Same here, question 1 was absolutely perfect for me!! The only thing i'm worried about is that my string had three marks on it instead of two so i asked my teacher which ones to use and i think he thought of it as me not knowing what to do so im worried he might deduct marks for him "helping" me  :'(

I KNOW RIGHT!? my graph was perfectly straight line. it was brilliant  ;D
i had some trouble with the marks too though, cos they sat me in front of the window and i couldn't see them properly because of the sun behind 'em. gay.  :-\

oh and don't worry, you'd only lose one mark even if the invigilator thought you were getting help. :)
