copper is not magnetic, so will not be attracted to anything magnetic

I need someone to help me clear my doubts cuz I have loads of doubts my teacher will kill me if I ask him ALL of them  :-X :-[ :-[ :-[

So please Answer the Question for the paper attached (Hopefully) ..in case it didn't get attached then it's January 2011 Unit 4 Physics (:

Questions : 3 , 7, 9, 10 ,  11]c) , 13]a) , 14]e) , 15}a]ii)iii)and c), 16]b)iii)iv)

Thanks in Advance  :)

Give me sometime (I'll edit)

3 - B, as the distance increases the pd decreases

7 - C
When I can't decided on an answer, i try to cancel down what seems wrong and here energy, charge and momentum is always conserved so its C

9 - C, that formula is used for energy-mass conversion

10 - not sure :S

sorry, i'll answer the rest later

11 c - From the question we know what happens in the decay
We know that a lambda particle and anti-proton in produced

so the equation will be:
(any letter, I used B) = (the symbol for lambda) + (the symbol for anti-proton)

We can use any letter 'cause meson is a group and therefore it doesnt have a specific symbol.
If you check the markscheme, the 2 marks are only for the RHS.

-------------------------------

13 a - I was never good with these motor questions so I hope someone else will explain better  :-[

-----------------

14 e - (unit 2)
Emission spectra are porduced when electrons are exicted - jump to higher energy levels and then de-excited, reutring to their orignal state, releasing energy in the process.
Why is it X-ray ---> Not reallu sure about this part

---------------------------

15 - ii (attached) discharging curve of capacitor for current (you should learn these) :D

how to find the values:

Max current = V/R
10/5000 = 0.002 = 2 mA

then, Q says that typical values so we can find the the time constant
To find 37% of the original current, simply multiply by 0.37 and you will get 0.74
to find the time i takes to fall to this current use the equation I = I(max) x e^(-t/RC)

we know I(max), R and C so we can find t
t = 0.049 = 0.05 s

part iii - Same curve

c - use the equation V = V(max) x e^(-t/RC)
     V will be 0.7 (0.07 of 10 = 0.7)

(If you can't get the answer then tell me and I will show you the full solution)
------------------------------------------------

16 b iii - Okay, we know that the smaller the wavelength the smaller objects can be investigated and these electrons have that wavelength

iv - use the knowledge of aplha scattering.
Passed through - empty space
scattered at large angles - there are other particles within a proton and those are quarks

Can someone please tell me how to solve this question: A positron with kinetic energy 2.2MeV collides with electron at rest, annihilation occurs. Whats the average energy of the two gamma photons produced as a result of the annihilation. The other part is to calculate the frequency of these photons.
Thanks in advance!

I can help yuh  but won't  do all the workings (I guess I ain't in the mood :$ )

if you have MeV then this is what you do ;


[2.2 * (1.6 * 10-13)]/[ (3*108)2] =  _____ Kg


I think you should multiply by 2 since it's TWO gamma particles.

E = delta m * c2

you find the Energy ..I think that's how you do it :)


Mr.Paul can you please confirm this (:

Classify each of the following particles by ticking all the appropriate boxes in the table.
Particle       Lepton       Baryon      Hadron   Meson
Neutron, n            tick       tick
Neutrino, ?      tick             
Muon, ?                        tick         tick
(Total 3 marks)



they say Neutrino is considered a Lepton okay ..why is that ?

shouldn't it be either Muon neutrino , tau neutrino , or electron neutrino not just the word Neutrino ALONE  or I'm misunderstanding something here?

Thanks in Advance (:

By just the word neutrino, it is understood that it can be any neutrino and all of them (electron neutrino etc.) are lepton anyway.

And By the way, Muon is not a baryon or hadron  :-\

Are you sure about that ?  :-\

I have a document that Vampire_Lover posted on TSR about a year ago and it really is Beneficial (:

Thanks for the doc.

Um, sure about what? The neutrino part? Yes.
and if the muon part, again  yes.

Because i do not have the appropriate version of the software, can you please attach the doc in some other format like the MS Word 2003 format?
Thanks.

@ Ang3l : Welcome.  ... Muon is a Hadron and a meson but not a BARYON ..my teacher ALWAYS said a Mesons are NOT Baryons ..NEVER Mix them up. Thanks by the way (:

@ MKh : ALL my documents are 2007 version , I suggest you download a converter (Google :Word document 2007 to 2003 converter and iA you'll be able to find what you want (: )
