the normal reaction force should always be a normal to the/perpenicular to center of gravity

here r some stuffs on projectiles
http://www.astarmathsandphysics.com/a_level_physics_notes/forces_and_motion/a_level_physics_notes_equations_for_projectiles.html

if u still have problem with free body force diagram
take a look 2 this http://www.astarmathsandphysics.com/a_level_physics_notes/forces_and_motion/a_level_physics_notes_free_body_diagrams.html








thanxx

hey so wat do u expect of 2morrows paper is it gonna be easy like chemistry or ????

How are these supposed to be done

A particle is projected from level ground in such a way that its horizontal and vertical components of velocity are 20m/s and 10 m/s respectively. Find

a. the max height of the ball (i can do this)
b. its horizontal distance from the point of projection when it returns to the ground
c. the magnitude and direction of its velocity on landing
....................................

A pencil is accidentally knocked off the edge of a (horizontal) desk top. The height of the desk is 64.8 cm and the pencil hits the floor a horizontal distance of 32.4cm from the edge of the desk. What was the speed of the pencil as it left the desk?

a) V^2y=u^2y-2gs
    
    0=10^2-2(9.8)s
    
    s=5.1m

b) Vy=uy-gt
    
    0=10-9.8t
    
    t=1.02 for half the journey
    
    t=2x1.02=2.04s
    
    d=Vx(t)
    
    d=20(2.04)=40.8m

c) Vy=uy+gt
    
    Vy=10+9.8(2.04)
    
    Vy=29.992

    V=\sqrt{(29.992)^2+(20^2 ) }

    V=36

    tan\theta=\frac{29.992}{20}

    \theta=56.3

uy=0

s=uyt+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

64.8=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

t=3.64s

V=\frac{d}{t}

V=\frac{32.4}{3.64}

V=8.9

dude 1 thing i can tell u from my experience Physics is never easy  :P
but i found jan10 okay so i m afraid this may they might decide to change the pattern
just hoping no freaky questions!
Best of luck !

I'm assuming we can discuss the paper now.

Well, it started out pretty simple but became completely mind boggling towards the end, particularly that kite vector question. I understand it now but I messed it up in the exam so it doesn't matter. Plus, there were 20 questions. Most questions required quite a bit of thinking and I had much trouble handling the time.

Man, this is not good at all. I didn't well in the Physics practical and now this? It really sucks because I prepared pretty hard for this one. My only potential saving grace is paper 2 now and that is no walk in the park.

Yes for the kite thing you needed to use higher trig to answer it. But I got it in the end.

I couldn't solve it myself during the exam but here's what you had to do. You had to resolve the Tension vector into horizontal and vertical components. Then, the vertical comp of T + weight = Upthrust and the horizontal comp of T = drag force. Now you can find the Tension and the angle.
