I have a test tom...please? :P
OMG!! am reallllyyy sorry I can't help since I did only AS-level phy :-\
and u started A2 already?
walla am sorry..but I'll pray for u from my heart..insA u'll get it and do well :)
O Allah grant us all the Jannah
Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter
Success is that old ABC ability,breaks,and courage
While there's life,there's Hope ;)
As long as I have faith in Allah,nothing else matters insA <3
Keep on forgetting to forget about you <3

oh! XENA needs some help?!!!!...the one who helps everyone..
hehe...Time for some action..i'll try to solve it.
it's paper 4 right.?
The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling!
And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it.

3a) field strength is equal to the negative potential gradient.(its the concept u need to know)
b)find the area under graph by counting boxes.more than half counted as 1 box,less than half box not counted.calculate area of a box multiply with no of boxes.
c)use kinetic energy equals to electric potential energy.½mv2 = qV
½ × 9.1 × 10–31 × v2 = 1.6 × 10–19 ×  530(u should get this value in b)
v = 1.37 × 107 ms–1
d)the gradient of graph indirectly shows the acceleration.d=0 ,it is steepest at that point.
from graph ,acceleration decreases(negative gradient) and increases(positive gradient).minimum at 4cm.

A thermometer can be read to an accuracy of ±0.5 °C. This thermometer is used to measure a
temperature rise from 40 °C to 100 °C.
What is the percentage uncertainty in the measurement of the temperature rise?
A 0.5 % B 0.8 % C 1.3 % D 1.7%

I'm not sure... Engraved or Astar can check.  :-\

But still.

Rise = 60 °C

+ 0.5 or -0.5 => Interval = 1 °C

% uncertainty = 1/60 °C *100% = 1.7%

Have the MS?

I think it should be B. 0.8% :-\

0.5/60

It's measuring a change.

100 +- 0.5 - 40 +-0.5

the total uncertainty in the final ans will be +- 1  as far as my knowledge goes.
