Title: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: @d!_†oX!© on November 06, 2009, 12:54:41 pm
A bungee jumper of mass 60kg jumps from a bridge tied to an elastic rope which becomes taut after he falls 10m. Consider the jumper when he has fallen another 10m and is traveling at 15m/s.
Work out how much energy is stored in the rope. Take g= 10m/s2 and ignore air resistance.

now i know this is a pretty easy questioon bt i cant get the answer how to do it....the answer is 5250 J....
i did it by subtracting the k.e from the p.e
but why is it so???

guys help plss

the rope will store PE right??
if not it will have strain energy!!

so if PE then it will be mgh = 60*10*10 = 6000!!

but thatss not the ans so!!
starin energy will be MA = 60*10 = 600!!

but this is also not the ans!!

due i have my eyes in place!!!
it says - 10 meters !!
how can you take 20????
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: @d!_†oX!© on November 06, 2009, 01:05:08 pm
Consider the jumper when he has fallen another 10m

can u read this????so 10 + 10 = 20 m


now dont come up with some other excuse to cover up plssss....
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: ~~~~shreyapril~~~~ on November 06, 2009, 01:07:09 pm
not excuse but i forgot abt it :P :P
we need to subtract PE by KE beacuse it is starin energy right??
and at the time i guess it is PE and just becoming KE so it needs to be subratctd!!!

i guess
lets wait and watch until astar arives!!
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: ~~~~shreyapril~~~~ on November 06, 2009, 01:18:58 pm
By the way is this the ans:
60*20*10=12000
0.5*102*60=3000

so 12000-3000 = 9000!!

as you said i have subtracted PE and KE!!
but not the same ans!!
did i do ne mistake!!
i guess i did!!!
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: @d!_†oX!© on November 06, 2009, 01:19:52 pm
yeah u did...the speed is 15 not 10!!!!!!! >:(
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: ~~~~shreyapril~~~~ on November 06, 2009, 01:20:26 pm
oh yaa!!
og the mistake!!
it must be 0.5*152*60=6750

so it will be 12000-6750=5250..!!

By the way i also have same wuestion why subtarct???
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: Ghost Of Highbury on November 06, 2009, 01:53:43 pm
when the jumper is in the middle of his action, the PE stored reduces as it gets converted to KE. Therefore, we subtract the KE from the PE.
i guess this is the answer.
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: @d!_†oX!© on November 06, 2009, 02:06:45 pm
even i had the same thought in mind...
wt i think is that
elastic energy of the rope+kinetic energy=potential energy
thus, elastic energy=potential -kinetic
i just wanted to confirm it....it'd be gr8 if astar cud say smthng on this....

@shrey dude that's what my question is!!!!!do u like start doing a question sans seeing wat's asked???

Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: nid404 on November 07, 2009, 06:07:05 am
cuz the potential energy is lost  as kinetic energy in the second half....so the entire potential energy is not stored in the rope....
k.e lost=p.e gained and vice versa

Preset resistors are used in circuits when it is necessary to alter the resistance. Dark/light and temperature sensors usually have these components as the preset resistor allows the circuit to be made more or less sensitive

A mercury thread of a thermometer is 12mm long when placed in melting ice, and 82mm long when placed in boiling water.
Find the:
a)length of the thread at 50oC
b)temperature when the length is 61mm long

look adi we knw that b/w 12mm and 82mm lies 100.c. cuz melting point of ice=0 and boiling point of water=100. therefore in this scale 1mm=(82-12)/100
=>7/10=0.7
=>1.c=0.7mm
therfore at 50.c length=12+(0.7*50)=47mm
and then the next part=>
1.c=0.7mm
therefore the length for which there is a temperature change=>61-12=49mm
therfore the temperature at this=>49/0.7=70.c
just do it by simple unitary method
got it?
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: @d!_†oX!© on November 07, 2009, 02:39:10 pm
see, acc. to u
0.7C - 1 mm
so 1C = 1/0.7 mm

so wt i didnt understand is y u did (50*0.7)
cuz 50 is the temp and 0.7 is also the temp at 1mm....so shudn't it be 50*0.7
bt if i do that den the answer is wrong....plsss dude tell me some way to get this thing rite into my head!!!

dude 0.7 is not the temperature at 1 mm it is the value of the temperature of that changes for each increase in 1mm. theyve just given u 12mm-82mm to confuse u. this is the same as 1mm-70mm

cuz theyve started from 12 u hve to add 12 to (50*0.7), theres no hard nd fast way to answer it, uve gotta understand wat there askin and then answer accordingly

Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: nid404 on November 07, 2009, 02:48:29 pm
okk

I will try my best to explain this
Given
at 0oC=12mm
& and 100oC=82mm

difference is 70. So if the reading was.....if for 0 and 70 mm, then length would have been 70/2=35mm for 50 degrees....exactly half
so when the startin point is 12oC...u will add 12 to the difference/2=47mm. I hope ur able to figure out the logic.

The length for 50 degrees would be right in the middle of 12 and 82

yaa i got that 50 one like dt too...wt about the second part???
i really thing cooldude's explanation is gud...bt i really dont wanna forget it again...so pls guys try nd give me ur working ways to..so dt i have some more ways to do it nd i do not forget...
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: Ghost Of Highbury on November 07, 2009, 02:52:06 pm
assume its from 1mm to 70mm

theyre asking 61mm but thats frm their scale, from our scale it wud be...61-12 = 49

so

70mm - 100

49mm - 70
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: cooldude on November 07, 2009, 02:52:34 pm
nid's method is good for the first part and first part only (it is the simplest way by which u can understand this part of the q), but since u have to do the second part also which does nt hve somehting which is half way or quarter way so u hve to do it by the unitary method. if u do both parts by diff methods then u urself will get confused
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: @d!_†oX!© on November 07, 2009, 02:53:35 pm

@aadi dts wat i wanna know dude...how did ya get 70 for 49 mm??????
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: cooldude on November 07, 2009, 02:55:30 pm
yaaa dts rite cooldude...
@aadi dts wat i wanna know dude...how did ya get 70 for 49 mm??????

dude!!!!!!!!!!! i also explained the second part...look!!!!!!!!!!

ill paste it for u--

1.c=0.7mm
1mm=1/0.7.c
therefore the length for which there is a temperature change=>61-12=49mm
therfore the temperature at this=>49*(1/0.7)=70.c
just do it by simple unitary method

and also since the temperature starts from 0, 70 is ur final ans but cuz the length starts from 12 so u hve to consider 12 in every calculation u make wich evry1 is trying to tell u
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: Ghost Of Highbury on November 07, 2009, 02:56:36 pm
sry sry it shud 0 to 70

ok look..
in the range of 12 to 82

they are asking 61

61 is 49 above from 12

so for our scale which 0 to 70, we have to go 49 above from 0 = 0+49 = 49

got it?

@aadi u till didnt get my point man..i know till here...now how did u get 70 fro 49?? is my question.....
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: nid404 on November 07, 2009, 03:00:34 pm
okay for the second part assume the same way

so
assuming
 100o=70mm(82-12)
then xo= 61mm-12mm

x= 4900/70=70o

dude, thats the easier part.

its simple ratio proportion

70mm - 100
49mm - 100/70 * 49 = 70

got it?

i think this thread should be renamed to "adi' questions" .....i think i will fill this whole thread with just my question
okk..so here i go again..
The definition of sound energy is "longitudinal pressure waves that travel through a compressible material"
now my question is that sounds travel through solids...but solids are incompressible...
another addition....sounds waves are a series of compressions and rarefactions....in air, they compress the air molecules...but how do they do that i solid???

Post by: Ghost Of Highbury on November 07, 2009, 04:16:47 pm
The distances between molecules in solids are very small, i.e., solids are more dense - as compared to liquids and gases. Because they are so close, than can collide very quickly, i.e. it takes less time for a molecule of the solid to 'bump' into its neighborough and thus transferring the energy.

plz, can u help in jun.08 Q4(c), and Jun.07 Q10 (b) need explanation for these questions. thanks.


okay so first june 07 q10 b--

see if we want to change the temperature at which the lamp switches on, we have to change the value of resistance R1. if we increase the value of the resistance then more voltage will flow through the transistor and if we decrease the voltage then less voltage will flow through the transistor. therefore if we assume that the amount of heat falling on the thermistor is constant then when we increase or decrease the value of R1 so will the value of the voltage passing through the tranistor will change. so if we want to make the lamp switch on at a different temperature we change the value of R1 because if the heat is falling on the thermistor and thus its resistance decreasing then if the base voltage is enough to switch on the transistor it will light however decreasing the value of the resistor R1 will cause the voltage flowing through the transistor to be too less to switch it on (this is if we want to make the temperature at which the lamp lights more; just explain the opposite thing if u want the temperature at which the transistor lights lower than it is and also u dnt need to expalin all this, ive done this to help u understand it and if u want a shortened version ill be happy to help). therefore in short the temperature at which the lamp lights can be changed by changing the value of R1. (the lamp lights when the base voltage becomes enough for the lamp to switch on)

hope it helps

p.s. i think ive explained a bit too much though


okay now the second q--

see if the temperature increases so will the kinetic energy of the particles. therefore they will exert more pressure in the tube and therefore if the pressure increases the switch will switch on. this is because when we pressed the rubber cover the same thing was achieved but when there is a higher temperature it comes to the same thing

Note--when the transistor switches on it will in turn switch on the lamp

Thanx 4 ur awesome explanation, but i still need J08 Q4 c 2nd varient and 4 that question y did u choose R1 and not R2??? ???

okay for y i chose r1 and not r2----

this is cuz r1 is just in place to prevent too much current flowing throught the transistor and damaging it. r1 and the thermistor r acting as a potential divider; when we change the resitance of one of the 2 the voltage across the thermistor or r1 changes depending upon which components resistance we have changed. as u knw the voltage flowing across a component is governed by the resistance of the component. since we have to change the value at which the temperature at which the bulb lamps we have to change the resistance of r1. r1 is a part of the potential divider, r2 is not


ill just answer ur other q with my next post


Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: @d!_†oX!© on November 07, 2009, 06:30:34 pm
just to add on nd make it even easier for moon to understand....
see, just remember that to alter the temperature at which the light switches on, u gotta change the resistances as cooldude said...
so there are two resistors in the circuit, nd u can't change the resistance of the thermistor cuz it depends on the temperature only...so to change the voltage at which the transistor switches on, we have to change the resistance of R1....
hope u get it!!!
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: cooldude on November 07, 2009, 06:37:18 pm
i didnt knw which varaint u were askin for, neway ur ans---

we knw that (p1*v1)=(p2*v2);

therefore 12000*75=300000*v2
therefore v2=30mm
the distance of the piston from the closed end was=75mm
the distance of the piston from the closed end now is=30mm
therefore the distance it has been moved=75-30-45mm
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: @d!_†oX!© on November 07, 2009, 06:37:50 pm
hey for ur second question:
see
P1*V1=P2*V2
P1=1.2*10^5 Pa
V1=Area*75
P2=3*10^5 Pa
V2=length*Area
because u know the area is same
thus put the values in the formula and find out the length
length=30mm
now, because the piston was 75mm from the closed end and is now 30mm from the closed end, thus the distance moved=75mm - 30mm =40mm

By the way cooldude...ur method is wrong cuz 75mm is not the volume but the length....u gotta show it in the volume format as i did in my post....
just look back cuz if u show this working in ur p3, u will lose some of ur marks there....
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: Ghost Of Highbury on November 08, 2009, 05:40:59 am
i suppose he cancelled out the area because they were common, and thus had only 75mm
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: @d!_†oX!© on November 08, 2009, 05:52:14 am
hmmm...maybe because dts wt we ought to do...bt m just telling him dt the cancelling of the area is  necessary to show....
By the way aadi, do u know the formula for the focal length...???
i know for convex lens, just wanna know if it is the same for concave as well...
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: Ghost Of Highbury on November 08, 2009, 05:59:12 am
i guess its the same

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{so} + \frac{1}{si}

diverging lenses are assigned negative focal lengths.

Post by: @d!_†oX!© on November 08, 2009, 06:21:13 am
its very simple halp...see i the exam u wud not be asked to use this formula,....u'd be asked to make a sketch diagram..bt this is for ur own reference nd checking....simply put the values in the formula nd take out the required thing
f- focal length
So-distance of object from the center
Si-distance of image from the center

u shud specify from the centre of the lens, oh yeh and about that q, i cancelled the area like aadi says. but if u want to knw the area of cross-section, its the same, if u really want to explain it u shud also say that the area of cross-section of the piston stays constant cuz the examiner can assume that the area of cross section of the cylinder remains constant (just to make it look as u knw what ur talkin about ;) )

it is in an industrial oven. if we opened the door of the oven then a alarm would sound but if the door was opened and closed within the time it took for the capacitor to charge or discharge no alarm would sound. an alarm would be needed if there was a malfunction and if the oven door opened accidentally

wat is da minimum voltage required to switch on the transistor???????

is it 0.6V

if no, what is 0.6V for?
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS

is it 0.6V

if no, what is 0.6V for?


aadi its given in the guide for that specific model, it varies from model to model, for the one which u say ( i think ur talking about the guides transistor) then for that it is. they shud give u the voltage in the exam
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: Ghost Of Highbury on November 08, 2009, 01:08:33 pm
I = P/V = 0.6/1.5 = 0.4A

astar may help?
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: holychalice on November 08, 2009, 01:34:43 pm
i guess cuz 1.5 V is marked on d lamp its not supplied ...
4V is supplied to d circuit so 4 volts will be taken nd not 1.5
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS

Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: Ghost Of Highbury on November 08, 2009, 01:37:08 pm
the current flowing throught the circuit is same, so v can take 0.4A

but the voltage is different in series circuit, so it shudhere its only asked for the lamp, so it shud be 1.5/0.4

guys we are right yaar...it cant be the way ms is showing it...
see it's taking V as 4 volts whereas the lamp does not get the complete 4V....it cannot be like this...our answer is right!!!!!

a)p=VI for the lamp I=P/V=0.6/1.5=0.4A
b)Use V=IR for the lamp 1.5=0.4*R so R=1.5/0.4=3.75ohms did everyone get this wrong?
c)Q=It=0.4*20=8C

Post by: nid404 on November 08, 2009, 02:04:31 pm
it's an old paper guys.....it may be wrong....let's wait for astar to confirm it
even i'd go for 1.5V/0.4

By the way does evry1 knw that this ms is not written by cie, the qs r solved by the person who made this document. so it is very likely that the person can be wrong. i did the maths papers of 1993-2003 and in one q that guy got an ans wrong so dnt go exactly by what this ms says

4b is like you hav to do it with ratio propotion!!!

like 2*105:80::x:25!!
solve for x you'll get the ans!!

9)ai) power=VI=24*2=48W!!

ii) power1=power2 so 48=0.4x!!
solve for x x=120 volts!!

b)i) the transformer being 100% efficient means that power in primary is eaul to power in secondary!! it converts all the elcerticity withouht ne or less wastage!!
ms:no/very little energy/power lost or energy/power in =
energy/power out

ii)ms:any mention of magnetic field
changing magnetic field
field passes through core or secondary coil
induces voltage in secondary coil
number of turns on secondary determines voltage
output

Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: ~~~~shreyapril~~~~ on November 08, 2009, 02:50:18 pm
y wats it??
i guess it is better if you do this for 4b

volume*pressure=k!!

so 2*105*80=k
so now new volume =k/25
= 2*105*80/25
=6.4*105

hope ya get it!!

just put the connections in y input!!
dc gives you the max value that is 1V
mark the max value as 1V and then half as 0.5!!

and so on!!

hey wassup check this out, direct from the er:
Question 4
(a) The confusion between particles and molecules was less common than with previous questions on
this topic. However there were considerable numbers of candidates who thought that the dust
particles were “lighter than the heavy air molecules”. Many answers were spoilt by extending this
wrong concept to “fast moving dust particles colliding with air molecules”. However, there were
many excellent answers seen.
(b) Large numbers of fully correct answers were seen, generally well set out and with all the working
shown. The most common error was the use of 2 x 25/80 instead of 2 x 80/25.
Answer: (b) 6.4 x 105 Pa.

charles law is when pressure is constant for an ideal gas the volume is directly proportional to the absolute temperature
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: ~~~~shreyapril~~~~ on November 09, 2009, 05:56:49 am
chrles law is something to do wih pressure and volume and temp!!
u dont take tension just remmeber that:

volume is directly propotional to temp
and presure is inversley to volume!!
Title: Re: IGCSE PHYSICS
Post by: xXFaKeXx on November 09, 2009, 06:01:16 am
Charles law states that >> the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature when pressure is kept constant.
