Viscosity


Those are the ones I've noticed they come a lot but I'll let you know if there's more that you should know iA ;)

Unit 3B January 2010
5. A student is doing an experiment to find the resistivity of constantan. His apparatus inclides a length of constantan wire, an ammeter, a voltmeter, a variable resistor and a micrometer.
(b)The student has been told to use a range of current valures to plot a graph of p.d against current.
(ii)Explain how plotting a graph should improve his results?


Help :(

The answer could be ;

That it would smooth out the readings*i.e. it would cancel the wrong readings*

I hope I helped :)

Atoms which emit alpha or beta-particles usually emit gamma-rays as well. Explain why this
occurs ?


Historically, physicists found that electrons of low energy could not be used to find
out information about the nucleus of neutral atoms. Suggest why ?

They emit Gamma-rays in order to get stable. When they emit Alpha/beta they are in excited state so to return to its ground state the atoms emit radiation.

Low energy electrons are nearer to nucleus and thus is difficult to find information about nucleus. Hint:- Compare charges, velocity, mass, distance from nucleus and difficulty to trace them.

Mean - 0.19

Uncertainity - 0.08 (42 %)
(42 % cannot be uncertainty)

Neglect 0.08 then. It will be alright. Take uncertainity of 0.01 (5%).

were there any unit 3 physics papers before the new syllabus started?if there were,can u give the paper code number and the source from u can get it?
thanks
