We're having exams at my school atm and tommorow is physics
im currently in Grade 10
I just had some doubts in the lesson Energy, Work and Power
That lesson really makes me mad
If anyone has any notes or revision guides for this lesson
Or if someone can explain me in short all the formulas and definitions i need to know for this lesson

I know that this is quite annoying to ask such lengthy questions but some help for this would really be appreciated

E-Mail: silvershark_55@hotmail.com

Thanks to everyone in Advance and all the best in ur exams :)

anyone has notes for CRO?
STATES OF MATTER PLEASE!

hey i dont have the notes by i can explain to u throuly

cathode ray oscillascope. has 6 parts.

the filament: it goes through thermionic emiision(where a substance is heated it releases electrons) this filament is heated and releases electorns with negative charge.

the anode grid: it has a positve charge. this controls the nrightness (ill tell u how later)

the cathode grid: it has a negative charge, this allows the beam of electron (the electrons emitted when tht filament was heated)

the y plates:hese have plates with (+) and (-) charge and are attached vertically to each other on the tube of the CRO. this helps the beam of electrons move up and down so the beam of electrons spread evenly (up and down) on the screen.

the x plate: these have plates with (+) and (-) charge and are attached horizontilly to each other on the tube of the CRO. these help the electrons move (left and right) as it hits the screen.

the screen: at the end of the CRO is the screen (made of fluroscent usually) when electorns hit this screen it glows.

without x plate and y plates u will see the beam of electrons hitting one point of the screen only (so only tht part glows) for eg:on TV (just an example) , if with out x plates and y plates, picture can only be seen as a spot of light (picture) on the screen. but with x and y plates the electrons are able to reach both (up and down) and (right and left) with the help of y plates and x plates respectively. (ill tell u how they work later))

how does the OCR work?
first the filament is heated, beams of electrons are emitted (this is callerd thermionic emission). they go throu the cathode. what does cathod do? Cathode are negatively charge (-) and so are the beam of electrons, so repulsion take place due to similar charges allowing some beams of electrons to "stay back". This control the brightness cuz "the more number of electrons hittin the screen, the brighter the pic comes on the screen". ok, then the beams pass through the anode. what does the anode do? Anode is positively charged (+) and the beam of electrons are oppesitely charged. this anode atracts the beam of electron giving the "boost" or "acceleration" and to travel in a straight line (beam). then it reaches the Y plates. as i told u the help the electrons move up and down . they are plates with voltages (charged with (+) and (-))). they are  GIVEN WITH A.C VLTAGE because if it was D.C then the elctrons would only move up OR down depending on the position of the positively charged plate ( as beam of electron is negatively charged). u see, A.C current changes its direction so the plates change their charges, whic means (+) become (-) then later (-) becomes (+). so (+) charge changes its positon and so does the beam of electron which changes its direction of deflection. this helps the electrons to touch both up and down of the screen.

the X plate are same, except they help the electrons to move right and left they are also charged except tht they are aranged horizontally. they are time base. the work with time, how? by letting the voltage between these plates go 0 then after sometime go to a certain value. how tghis helps? as the voltage has acertain value thts not 0 the beam deflects to towards positively charged plate. then when after a certain time it the voltage goes 0 immediately. this all ows the beam of electrons to GO BACK its old path (which was before deflection at X PLATE), then vise versa. this helps the electrons go left and right on the screen.

U might ask what in x plate there is time base and in y plates are AC current? why cant the put AC on the xplates too? This is because i think tht the time base system helps beam to go in the REQUIRED or aprropriate horizontal path.

then finally the electrons reaches the screen in every direction (with the help of x and y plates) which causes the whole fluroscent screen to glow or lit.


any help needed or any confusion im all here m8....

i hope this helpd

alright
but yab3 if they ask (irrelevent to markzs) this much labelling iss enough? bcuz i have three book but none of them have this method:S
ooh so could Cathode ray tube could be mention too
bcuz thats also to identify beta particle:S

yes, this labelling is enough. there's nothing left to label anyways. you may put the whole setting inside a tube or not. Depends.
it's not exactly a CRT. (we r measuring the percentage of beta particles passing through the aluminium sheet)

2nd variant paper not first

The lubricated truck would accelerate. (Since it is lubricated, when the slope is returned to its original position, the forces will be unbalanced<as there is almost no friction now>, and the truck will accelerate).
I hope that helped. :)

When do we use cathode ray tube?

 Cathode Ray Tube  is used in terms of light (Total Internal Reflection); every time the ray of light within totally internally reflects and therefore the light ray remains within the tube. An example of its use is in the transfer of TV signals.
 
For Electricity, its the Cathode Ray Oscilloscope  that you need to know. CRO is just a vaccuum tube containing a Cathode, which emmits electrons due to thermionic emission  (after its heated). The electron beam then gains enough of kinetic energy to leave the cathode and then it travels through the vacuum (REMEMBER, electrons must be in a vacuum in order to move <in air, the air molecules would stop the electrons from moving>). Then they get attracted to the anode (positive). However, before that, they have to pass a grid(negative), which would repel some of the electrons, by changing the voltage on the base it is used as a brightness control. Then, a ray of electrons would pass through a hole in the anode. On their way after passing the hole, the electrons ray will meet Y-plates  and X-Plates. Y-plates would move the spot on the Fluoresecent screen afterwards up and down and the X-plates would move the coloured spot produced left and right on the fluorescent screen. At the end, the Fluorescent screen would glow, when hit by the electrons ray.

For the question you asked, its not CRO, as there is no need to make a screen glow. Its just about detection. So, you would just use a simple source, absorber, detector arrangement.
I hope this brief explanation helped. :)

If you remember Total Internal Reflection, you will be able to understand the use of Cathode Ray Tube.(CRT)
and I think you know when CRO is used (to make the screen glow). The question you asked about only asked to draw apparatus to detect the Beta particles. So, in this case, the simple source, absorber, detector apparatus would be drawn.
To concentrate more, just think of the fruitful result you'd get if you study hard. Oh, by the way, its 1:00, so u'd better be able to concentrate in the morning.  :)

I have got a problem in Physcis October/November 2008 Paper3 question 2 (d)...I have no idea that why am i finding it hard

Calculate the force on the pivot when the two masses choosen are hanging from the disc????

F=ma
or F=mg

F=200x9.8

is it like this...i am sure i am wrong somewhere...plz let me know as soon as possible...thx   
Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: Hope on May 24, 2009, 10:22:54 am
the force on the pivot = force (N) x distance (m)

the pivot, is the circle that is shaded in.. so when you add a force at a specific distance from the pivot, there will be a moment.. Do that to the other side too, and you will also get a moment.

The questions prior to the one you are asking about, wanted no net moment, this means the whole system is in equillibrium..

so for example, if you had a mass of 10N on the right, 3 m away from the pivot..the moment of the force is = 10 x 3 = 30 Nm

and to maintain equillibrium, the other side would have to balance in someway..so it could have 15N at a distance of 2 m from the pivot .. 15 x 2= 30 Nm

Hope you understood!  :D

To concentrate more, just think of the fruitful result you'd get if you study hard. Oh, by the way, its 1:00, so u'd better be able to concentrate in the morning.  :)

u need add to the weight of the disc too. 1kg=10N, so 200+300+200(of the disc)=700g
which is 7N i believe

Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: nid404 on May 24, 2009, 02:13:25 pm
yup depends on the weight uve chosen.

F=m*a(m in kg)

since masses here r in grams u need to convert them to kg and then multiply by ten.

Hi. So I had a few questions.

Can anyone please explain the AC generator for me? And also why is the direction reversed every half turn and how does that happen.

Also:

Can you tell me what we are supposed to write in questions where they ask about energy changes that take place? For example for a cart traveling down a ramp and then back up (since the ramp is curved, like skating ramp thingies) Where are we supposed to stop? Like do we also mention sound or just heat and kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy?

Thanks!  :)

Ac generator
It consists of a recangular coil of wires that is mounted on an axle by turning the axle the coil is made to rotate between the poles of perminent magnet
as the coil rotate the magnetic field thorugh the coil changes and therefore induced EMF between the end f coil
the slip rings allow tthe transfer of the alternating current emf induced Each ring is connected to one end of the CIL WIRE ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED BY CONDUCTING CARBON BRUSH

hmm its true u do have to use the formula
velocity= frequency*wavelength
so to find wavelenght, change postioins of formulat to (velocity/frequency)
so it would be (3*10^8)/(5*10^14)
u get 6*10^-7

just exactly mana said

but mark scheme only says 6*10
its either they want only 6*10 and if u put any (^number) u still get marks OR u reaaly have to get 6*10 or the mark scheme is worng

but im pretty sure what we did is correct..

2a) put different value of masses on bothe sides of the pivot  but make sure tht after using the formula (fxd) (where
f=force and d=distance) the product must be same. (then only they are balanced i.e in equilibrium)

 the distance are given for each hole to the pivot. so i recomend to take the first hole(with distance 4cm) and add mass 200g at one side of the pivot. and on the other side,  add mass 100g on the second hole (with disatnce 8 cm from teh pivot)

so when using the formula "fxd " u get on one side: 200x4=800N
                                                     and                                       
                                                   on the other side: 100x8=800N
                         - see both have the same product so it is now they are balanced(in equilibrium)


ans2b) the disc does not move or rotate as u put the mass so they are balanced so no turning effect which means no moment.

c)use formula "fxd"
               200x4=800N
               100x8=800N

d)this is the force of pivot which is downwar to get tht simply add the masses u put
100+800=900g

but rmember u can choose any mass at any distance but the product with equation "fxd" must be same

thts all,hope this helped, any confusion or difficulties or help u need, im all here

so tht all the ice are at constant temperatur,e if u didnt wait u get wrong results. as ice has the ability to get heat from surrounding so u get different temperature rathere than the temp given by the heater (which is needed)

in short, so the temperature of all ice is constant

you take the mass of the beaker first and then the mass of beaker+water.

This will let u find the mass of the water( mass of beaker+water - mass of beaker)

And this is what u need other than the energy used to find sp.latent heat of fusion

This means it must change by the same amount for every degree of temperature change.

Post by: Shogun on May 26, 2009, 10:08:11 am
to find current,charge,time  interms of  charge ,current,time:
to find current (I)= charge(Q)/time(t)
to find charge (Q)= current (I) x time (t)
to find time (t)=  charge (q) / currebt (I)

to find resistance,voltage,current interms of resistance,voltage or current:
to find current (I)= voltage (v)/ resistance (R)
to find voltage(V)= Current(I) x rsistance (R)
to find resistance (R)= voltage (v) / Current (I)

formulas got to do with power and energy(workdone):
to find the power(p): voltage (v) x Current (I)   (the unit of power is watts)

to find the loss power: square of current x  resistance (I^2 x R)

to find energy(E) which is also workdone: voltage (v) x Current (I) x Time (t)    
                                               OR    
                                     power(p) x time(t) (unit of is joules)


formulas of transformer:
to find number of turns in secondary or primary coils OR the secondary or primary voltage:

 secondary voltge (Vs)        number of turns of secondary (Ns)
----------------------  =   ----------------------------------
 Primary voltage (Vp)           number of turns of primary (Np)


to find voltage or current in an 100% efficient trnasformer=

voltage in primary(Vp) x current in primary(Ip)  =    voltage in secondary(Vs) x current in secondary(Is)
                                                           OR
               power in primary = power in secondary (cuz voltage(V) x current (I)= power)

more resistance formula:
to find total resistance aranged in SERIES : just add all resistance (R1+R2+R3),etc
to find tpatal resistance where resistors are arange in parallel : just add 1/r
      (1/R1  + 1/R2  + 1/R3 = 1/R) etc then at the end reverse it by making  1/R to  R/1 to get (R) resistance

and no formulas for CRO

well thts all i guess
any confusion or help u need just ask me

true, sorry. so then we have to multiply them by 10, however we get same product, but u must multiply by 10
cuz mass x10 , but first we must convert the masses to killogram then multiply by 10 to get the force. but then thank u bani for correcting me

the time base system works for the x plates on the cathode ray osclliscope(CRO), the thing is tht, dpending on time the voltage goes zero between the plates then after acertan period of time say 0.5 secs the voltage gose up to its original value, how does this help? the x plate is ment to let the beams of electrons move horizonataly (left and right) so it hits the screen (on both the left and right side). so to do this, lets say abeam of elctrones in an CRO is coming and as it passes through the x plates(which is charged with postive and negative charge) the beam of electron (which is negative in charge) deflects towards the postive charge plates.

lets say the positive plate is aranged on the right, so when thier is voltage the beam deflects to the right after CERTAIN SET TIME the voltage goes zero (so no charged plate) and the beam returns to its original path (i.e the left side) then again after a certain set time the voltage goes up and the beam of electrons deflects to the right again.. so this is how the beam moves right and left with the help of x plates whic is TIME BASE system.

base emiter stuff...
the base  and emmiter and collector wires are used in a transistor. the for the lamp to work (which is uually placed on the path of colletor emitter path) there must be a current on the base current and there must be a suitable potential difference of 0.6v across the base emitter path.

these conditions are needed for the transistor to work which acts as an automatic switch to switch on the lamp (which is usually placed in the collector -emitter path)

resistance stuff,
they say to the current "get the hell outta here" , u see they act as aopposition to the flow of current in the circuit, it does not let the current to pass through. it blocks the path of the current. with variable resistor u can change the amount of blockage, which means u can allow certain ammount of current to pass and flow through.

any more help or confusion or difficulties,plz do ask me.

thanks

deflections of rays in magnetic fields
alpha is positively charged so in magnetic field in to the paper (the north pole faced towards a paper) (uding flemings left hand u point ure index finger just like the way u would point at somone and with the thumb up and ure middle finger pointing towards the right(which is the direction alpha rays)) so doing this would indicate tht alpha rays deflects upwards.
however the beta rays(negatively charges) moves opposite to the deflection of alpha rays (i.e downwards but with the same conditions set as experssed for the alpha rays)
whereas in gamma rays, no deflection in magntic field.

deflections of rays in an electrical field.
lets say there are 2 charged plates place over another(with gap inbetwwen), one is postively charged plate which is for example the upper plate, and the lower plate is negatively charged. alpha rays deflect yowards the negative side (i.e downwards) as it is postively charged, whereas the beta rays deflects towards the positively charge plate(i.e upwards, just opposite of alpha rays). gamma rays do not deflect in electric fields either.

hope this helped, any confusion difficulties or help needed, plz do ask me

hey the answer for q37, is c
u see the job of the potential devider is tht it gives some amount of voltage to another part of the circuit (ie. the part with 100v potential devider on the second diagram) so what happened was tht both potential devider are 100v one of them becam 90 so as a result giving the missing 10v to the other potential devider with 100v making it 110v. this is the job of potential devider, it devides voltage to diffrernt amounts to differnt parts of the circuit. it has nothing got to do with r=vi cuz its not a resistor its a potenmtial devider.
the question states the job of the potential devider. and yea the units are in ohms but as VOLTAGE INCREASES THE RESISTANCE INCREASES.

and the answr for q38 is A cuz beta particle are elctorns as beta is negatively charged, and all rediations happens from nucleus

i hope this helped, any confusion difficulties or help needed plz do ask, and if they are correct according to the mark scheme (which is supposed to be) or if my explainaiton suits or is understandable plz do +rep me.

Vout=R(OUT)/(R(OUT)+R) so the output voltage increases with the output resistance. The circuit voltage increases with the circuit resistance and the 2 voltages have the same proportion as the resistances.

Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: Shogun on May 27, 2009, 04:42:55 pm
hey this is how cro works i explained it throughly
cathode ray oscillascope. has 6 parts.

the filament: it goes through thermionic emiision(where a substance is heated it releases electrons) this filament is heated and releases electorns with negative charge.

the anode grid: it has a positve charge. this controls the nrightness (ill tell u how later)

the cathode grid: it has a negative charge, this allows the beam of electron (the electrons emitted when tht filament was heated)

the y plates:hese have plates with (+) and (-) charge and are attached vertically to each other on the tube of the CRO. this helps the beam of electrons move up and down so the beam of electrons spread evenly (up and down) on the screen.

the x plate: these have plates with (+) and (-) charge and are attached horizontilly to each other on the tube of the CRO. these help the electrons move (left and right) as it hits the screen.

the screen: at the end of the CRO is the screen (made of fluroscent usually) when electorns hit this screen it glows.

without x plate and y plates u will see the beam of electrons hitting one point of the screen only (so only tht part glows) for eg:on TV (just an example) , if with out x plates and y plates, picture can only be seen as a spot of light (picture) on the screen. but with x and y plates the electrons are able to reach both (up and down) and (right and left) with the help of y plates and x plates respectively. (ill tell u how they work later))

how does the OCR work?
first the filament is heated, beams of electrons are emitted (this is callerd thermionic emission). they go throu the cathode. what does cathod do? Cathode are negatively charge (-) and so are the beam of electrons, so repulsion take place due to similar charges allowing some beams of electrons to "stay back". This control the brightness cuz "the more number of electrons hittin the screen, the brighter the pic comes on the screen". ok, then the beams pass through the anode. what does the anode do? Anode is positively charged (+) and the beam of electrons are oppesitely charged. this anode atracts the beam of electron giving the "boost" or "acceleration" and to travel in a straight line (beam). then it reaches the Y plates. as i told u the help the electrons move up and down . they are plates with voltages (charged with (+) and (-))). they are  GIVEN WITH A.C VLTAGE because if it was D.C then the elctrons would only move up OR down depending on the position of the positively charged plate ( as beam of electron is negatively charged). u see, A.C current changes its direction so the plates change their charges, whic means (+) become (-) then later (-) becomes (+). so (+) charge changes its positon and so does the beam of electron which changes its direction of deflection. this helps the electrons to touch both up and down of the screen.

the X plate are same, except they help the electrons to move right and left they are also charged except tht they are aranged horizontally. they are time base. the work with time, how? by letting the voltage between these plates go 0 then after sometime go to a certain value. how tghis helps? as the voltage has acertain value thts not 0 the beam deflects to towards positively charged plate. then when after a certain time it the voltage goes 0 immediately. this all ows the beam of electrons to GO BACK its old path (which was before deflection at X PLATE), then vise versa. this helps the electrons go left and right on the screen.

U might ask what in x plate there is time base and in y plates are AC current? why cant the put AC on the xplates too? This is because i think tht the time base system helps beam to go in the REQUIRED or aprropriate horizontal path.

then finally the electrons reaches the screen in every direction (with the help of x and y plates) which causes the whole fluroscent screen to glow or lit.

however i donthink we have any calibrations or how does it show them as graph explainations in our syllabus..

any help needed or any confusion im all here m8....

i hope this helpd

Post by: Shogun on May 27, 2009, 05:14:49 pm
In its simplest mode, the oscilloscope repeatedly draws a horizontal line called the trace across the middle of the screen from left to right. One of the controls, the timebase control, sets the speed at which the line is drawn, and is calibrated in seconds or decimal fractions of a second per division. If the input voltage departs from zero, the trace is deflected either upwards (normally for positive polarity) or downwards (negative). Another control, the vertical control, sets the scale of the vertical deflection, and is calibrated in volts per division. The resulting trace is a plot of voltage against time, with the more distant past on the left and the more recent past on the right.

this plot shows the graph where it displays wavefroms on the screen, the inputs are calibrated on the knob, this is how its calibrated and gets the wavefrom in a graph like type/format, the graph or wavefrom is produced based on the set input and its variation of the wavefrom with time. how is it diplayed on the screen? just as the way i explained u how the OCR works.

any confusion or difficulties u have or any help u need plz do ask me.

Post by: Shogun on May 28, 2009, 04:10:01 pm
this due to the alternating current, since they keep changing in direction.
the alternating current from the primary coils is cut by the secondary coil ,inducing it with emf. so the secondary coils now have an emf enduced..

any help or confusion u have do ask me..
Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: crypsAnity on May 28, 2009, 04:20:06 pm
^ .. isnt that a lil complicated explanation mates .. think ts simpler ..anyhows heres my version ..

A Secondary Output is obtained because when an ac  Current passes through the Primary Coil .. a constantly
changing magnetic field is produced.. so although the two coils have no wires linking them the magnetic field
produced by the first coil reaches and "cuts" (As its constantly changes its direction for ac current) the secondary coil
therby inducing a current in it .. which is known as "Electromagnetic Induction" .. Faraday uncles theory .. =]

(if there is any.. because i thto before there wasnt .. but then saw this diagram on the book and got confused because you see there were
two diagrams one which said "after time base on and the current fed to yplates are alternative.." - it was a sine wave ..
and the otehr where i got confused was "after an alternating current being fed to both x and y plates" .. it had and y=x shaped linear graph.. ) help anyone please.. seems like the only stuff in phy dont get .. (so far)

Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: Shogun on May 28, 2009, 07:04:52 pm
the voltage is calculation depends on the amount of deflection on the y plates on the set input of the yamp gain. so the deflection on the y plates increases the voltage increases. so 1 vertical deflection on the screen shows 1 volts.
Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: Shogun on May 28, 2009, 07:27:59 pm
what i know about curves is tht if no voltage was supplied the graph would be a stright line parallel tothe x axis.. but if dc current were to be supplied, then a same graph is produced but with different  position (up or down) depending on the postion of the postive charge plate..eg: if postive plates was up and a dc current is supplied so the beam of electron would only deflect on tht side, hence the graph would be same as zero voltage but in different position depending on the beams, deflection.

when an AC current is supplied the postive charge changes its position so the beam of electron deflects in different direction continuosly thus causing a sine curve(up and down, up and down..etc)

this would have the same effect with time base on ,cuz here the position of charge does not change, the amount of voltage changes but i think it would have the same effect as as, excep it would be steepr and sharper turns..
Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: crypsAnity on May 28, 2009, 08:10:59 pm

hi,thermistor is a type of a resistor, except tht it works depending on the temperature. if the temperature was at cold the resistance increases, and as resistance increases the current is acroos it reduces.
so in short the lower the temperature the higher the resistance.

now, the transistor, u see, is an elctronic switch, an automatic switch u see, it has 3 sets of wire joind as a circuit, the 3 wires are base,collector and emitter.it allows somthing (eg: a lamp) to work depending on 2 condition which are: 1) there must be a current on the base wire(ie. there must be a base current)
                            2)the potential difference(P.D) betwwen base and emitter path must be atleast 0.6volts.
if these 2 conditions are not there then the lamp is automatically switched off.

then therez the diode, its positive side must be connected to the positive side of the battery(the same was the ammeter is connected)  then it will allow current to flow throgh (i.e no resistance). what is its job? it changes an AC current to DC.Now, if the positve side of this device is connected to the negative side of the battery the resistance would be high and would not conduct electricity(i.e it wont allow current to pass).

then finally the light dependant resistor(LDR). this thing is like the thermistor...except it depends on light.if light falls on it the resistance decreases thus allowing current to pass, in short, if light touches it the resistance decreases.

hope u understand, any difficulties, or problems, or confusion u have plz do ask me.

can anyone explain potential divider briefly.................
Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: leebux101 on May 29, 2009, 03:45:51 pm
potential divider is like a variable resistor...u can vary the voltage tht is being provided to one device and the other as well according to the voltage tht is need for the devices...or just vary the voltage and resistance and compare current and stuff like tht...
i am not sure abt this...u shud ask someone else just in case...
good luck!

can anyone explain potential divider briefly.................

yup wat bakhtawar said was correct, it devides the voltage accross the circuit to parts or devices.
for eg: this much voltage1 for device 1 and this voltage2 is for device2,what does the potential devider do is tht it can take some voltag1 to voltage2 so now device2 has more voltage. its job is to devide the voltage.

What is a permanent magnet?! And why is steel used to make it?
Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: Shogun on May 29, 2009, 05:16:52 pm
a permanent magnet have those magnetic ability to attract and repel forever. this what i call "magnetic power" lol.. and steel u see reatins tht magnetism forever after being put through a solenoid and is magnetized. however iron(wounded in a solenoid) looses tht magnetism directly after current is switched off on the solenoid...

hope u understand
Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!

And thank you.

yup iron wont repel or attract forever,unless its under a solenoid with current passin through it forever

Linearity of the thermometers, what does it mean??

a thermocouple consits of 2 wires of 2 different materials joined together, when 1 junction is hotter then the other and electric current flows and produces a reading on a sensitive meter which depends on the temp, difference. they are used in industry, usually measuring -250C to about 1500C

LDR might be used yo turn streetlamps on at night. The  detect the light level  and when the light falls below a certain level the lights turn on

LEDs are used a light in electronics as one switches
Both are semiconductors and dont consume much power

Hi everyone,

Please may you help me with these two questions:

1) A scientist wishes to investigate the deflection of ?-particles by an electric field. Draw a labelled diagram to suggest a suitable experimental arrangement. (Paper 3 November 2005) I don't even know how to draw electric field lines.

2) How to expand a) sensitivity b) range of a thermometer.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,
I am not sure about your first question, but i do know the answer to the second.

To expand the sensitivity of a thermometer:
You make the capillary tube finer so that when the liquid expands it has a longer distance to travel.
Also, you could make the bulb of the thermometer bigger.
I don't know about the range though..

Hope this helps!
Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: islu_jf on May 29, 2009, 08:12:52 pm
1)  Put on one side the source and ratemeter and a detector on the other side..
     now b/w them u put after the source a sheet bt it has a hole in it.. and then after that u put a Y-plates kind.. for the "charged metal plates"

2) for sensitivity..
u know there are lines on the thermometer ... u make these lines closer together.. so any slight change.. it will be detected./
and for the range .. make the two fixed points have a large differnce b/w them..
 I hope u'll understand. :)

To all those who are embaressed by resorting to Fleming's left-hand rule :p there is an alternative way!

If you notice how we play around with our fingers to get the answer haha; we're actually positioning our fingers on axes..

Fleming's left hand rule says that the third finger is the current, second finger is the magnetic field and the thumb is the force.

Now, we can simply draw axes (including x,y,z) This can be seen in my attachment.

If the magentic field is on the x-axis (denoted as B), current is on the y-axis (denoted as I), then you begin to move from I to B, through the shortest distance between both. In this case, it is clockwise. Any clockwise rotation corresponds to a negative axis. And since the z-axis is the only one that has not been given, it must be on the negative z-axis. In other words, the force is into the page!

I hope I made this as simple as possible. :)
Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!

I also forgot to mention that any anticlockwise rotation corresponds to a positive axis.

it's just some kind of a break....wouldn't mind just posting one extra word..  8)

anyway, thermocouple works when there are two junctions, hot and cold, connected by two wires of different conducting abilities(usually copper and constaton). the difference in temperature produces a potential difference between the two junctions which can be read on a calibrated voltmeter which shows the temperature. the cold junction is usually melting ice at 0 degrees C.

 :D happy studying

yeah, but the y-axis will be air pressure and labelled above normal, normal, and below normal. as high air pressure is caused by compression and low air pressure by rarefaction :D

see you always calculate sin i / sin r when a light ray passes from rarer medium to a denser medium. but at that instant, you  should calculate using sin r / sin i because it's the other way round..... the ray inside the denser medium is going to pass out to the rarer  medium.  :D

IT WAS SO HARD! AND JUST LIKE CHEM IM SCARED ITS GUNNA BE THE SAME!!!!!!! Seriously, what do you guys tihnk..and am I the only one that thinks this paper is hard??

hey there goin4dakill!! you'll be fine because:
1) if you know how to answer - you can score
2) you said you got an A in the hard mock - no need for panic
3) the threshold is low for p3 , usually being 55%  ;D

remember Bob Marley "Don't worry! Be happy"

1)B) there is a force(weight actually) acting on the trolley (which is an unbalanced force) which shows that force is directly proportional to acceleration when mass is constant.

and electrical energy is transmitted using high voltage to prevent power loss(and to reduce the current) as an increase in current would result in heat loss.
Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: Shogun on June 02, 2009, 04:37:59 pm
alright. use right hand flemings rule on something tht generates electricity (ie the the AC generator)
hoever on a normal coil or the generator producing kinetic energy (movement) from elctricity(i.e DC motor)
then use flemings left hand rule. however to find out direction of current or deflection of radiations or wire, use left hand rule.

latent heat of fusion is the hidden temp or the stationary temp at which melting takes place where ice literally (i mean really literally) changes to liquid.
specific heat of fusion is the amount of heat need to do such phenomena as i discussed above. (but really i did no see this included in any of the paper 3 physics)

specific heat capacity is the heant needed to rase 1 degree temp for 1 kg of substance.whereas heat capcity means the whole body it self (i.e the heat needed to raise 1 degree of temp of the whole body.)
notice tht 1 killo is not added in this explanation for heat capacity.

linear expansivity means sunstance expanding with same distance between the degrees calbrited on the thermometor at the same interval. or in short, same distance expanded between all degree interval.

if you store water at ahigh level, then you will have a high gravitational potential energy and can later be used to convert to KE to turn turbines and produce electricity...

umm, well specific heat of fusion..is actually on paper 3- June november :/ Thats why I was wondering..
And i didnt know the equation for it. Im so sorry, one more question.
E= Slf * m
E= m *C * temp change
x= al* temp change (x being increasing length, a being linear expansivity and L bring original length.

A coil of wire rotating in a magnetic field has a current induced in it. Every time the loop completels a half turn the direction of the current in the loop changes but the loop makes contact with a commutator, and the points of contact also change every half turn so the direction of the current as it exits the generator is unchanged

 Hey, I was doing the Oct/Nov 08 Paper 3, and on question 5c), it asks you to calculate the specific latent hear of fusion of ice from the results they have given you...
I usually find this pretty straightforward, but on this problem I was kind of stuck, because my answer didn't match the mark scheme...
The question goes as follows:
"Using a 40W heater, 16.3 g of ice is melted in 2.0 minutes. The heater is then switched off. In a further 2.0 minutes, 2.1 g of ice is melted.
Calculate the specific latent heat of fusion of ice from these results."

So I basically did the following calculation:
Total Energy supplied = 40 x 120 = 4800 J
Total Mass melted by heater = 16.3 g
Specific latent heat = 4800/16.3 = 294.5 J/g

I don't understand what I've done wrong, and what the switching the heater off and the further 2 mins has to do with it?
Any help would be appreciated thanks!

Refractive index (1.33) = Sine R / Sine (40)

Find Sine R,

so, 1.33 x Sine 40

use ur calculator for the answer, it should be in the range 58.68 - 60

can anyone elaborate more about these two types of graphs.
Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: Ibiza279 on June 03, 2009, 09:52:01 am
ok its simple

when water waves pass thru a gap, if the gap's length is equal to the wave's wavelength then there will b a spherical diffraction,
but if the wavelength of the wave is lower than the gap of the length then the waves formed will hav defraction on their extreme edges, they will look like straight lines that are bent on the edges.

we don't hav the diffraction of waves such that the length of the gap is smaller than the length of the wavelength.

remember the top two points all the best
Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: Shogun on June 03, 2009, 09:55:54 am
alright this depends on the size of gap and size of wavelength,this whole thing is known as diffraction

if size of gap is the same size of wavelength (u gotta measure them with ure scale or the giv u this info on the question): the wave will pass through the gap with a circular pattern.

if size of gap is bigger than the wavelength of the wave: the wave should pass throught in a wide wave around the ages pattern.

it would go like this:
but be sure tht ure wave (outside the gap) must have the dame wave legnth as the wave before the gap, cuz wave length doesnot change , speed does not change, frequency does not change, only direction changes

hope his helps..

can anyone elaborate more about these two types of graphs.

hey call them speed/time and distance/time graph, thats much more easier to understand

as fer the speed time graph, area under the graph gives u the distance travelled.

the distance time graph jus tells u if the cars on constant speed or accelerating etc.

i guess thats all about it.

but be sure to memorise the three velocity formulas

they r

v=u+at

v^2=u^2 + 2as

s = ut + 1/2at^2

where " s " is the displacement

do counter check with ur books or online sources if they r correct :D lol

Hi! I had another tiny question (and probably a lot more as I do last minute revision so plz be patient with me).

Can you please explain to be how to predict the direction of alpha, Beta, and gamma radiations in a magnetic field? Thank you :D

Since no one answered my question before, i will repost it =)
 Hey, I was doing the Oct/Nov 08 Paper 3, and on question 5c), it asks you to calculate the specific latent hear of fusion of ice from the results they have given you...
I usually find this pretty straightforward, but on this problem I was kind of stuck, because my answer didn't match the mark scheme...
The question goes as follows:
"Using a 40W heater, 16.3 g of ice is melted in 2.0 minutes. The heater is then switched off. In a further 2.0 minutes, 2.1 g of ice is melted.
Calculate the specific latent heat of fusion of ice from these results."

So I basically did the following calculation:
Total Energy supplied = 40 x 120 = 4800 J
Total Mass melted by heater = 16.3 g
Specific latent heat = 4800/16.3 = 294.5 J/g

I don't understand what I've done wrong, and what the switching the heater off and the further 2 mins has to do with it?
Any help would be appreciated thanks!

oh sorry for u answer to be delayed, so ill try to help u out right away.. ;D

Hi! I had another tiny question (and probably a lot more as I do last minute revision so plz be patient with me).

Can you please explain to be how to predict the direction of alpha, Beta, and gamma radiations in a magnetic field? Thank you :D

deflections of rays in magnetic fields
alpha is positively charged so in magnetic field in to the paper (the north pole faced towards a paper) (uding flemings left hand u point ure index finger just like the way u would point at somone and with the thumb up and ure middle finger pointing towards the right(which is the direction alpha rays)) so doing this would indicate tht alpha rays deflects upwards.
however the beta rays(negatively charges) moves opposite to the deflection of alpha rays (i.e downwards but with the same conditions set as experssed for the alpha rays)
whereas in gamma rays, no deflection in magntic field.

deflections of rays in an electrical field.
lets say there are 2 charged plates place over another(with gap inbetwwen), one is postively charged plate which is for example the upper plate, and the lower plate is negatively charged. alpha rays deflect yowards the negative side (i.e downwards) as it is postively charged, whereas the beta rays deflects towards the positively charge plate(i.e upwards, just opposite of alpha rays). gamma rays do not deflect in electric fields either.

hope this helped, any confusion difficulties or help needed, plz do ask me

heat received = mass * temp changed * c
40W --> 40 J/s for 180 seconds = 7200J
7200 = 250 * 5.9 * c
7200/ 1475 = 4.88
ans = 4.88 J/g degree celcius

adi...\m/

they r askin fer the latent heat not the specific latent heat of water

so u just use the equation E=ml

n somebody give me the answer to this question from the answer sheet cause i think the mass v hav to use is 2.1 g n not 16.3g "Using a 40W heater, 16.3 g of ice is melted in 2.0 minutes. The heater is then switched off. In a further 2.0 minutes, 2.1 g of ice is melted.
Calculate the specific latent heat of fusion of ice from these results."

Post by: Shogun on June 03, 2009, 10:35:10 am
allright, see u have taken the whole mass not the mass of ice which is actually bieng melted, so its not 16.3

u need the mass taken for the ice to melt completely, ie. initial mass of ice melted is 16.3, final mass of ice melted is 2.1...  so to get the actuall mass tht was melted u have to subtract
 
i.e 16.3-2.1=14.2g

then use  the formula P x t= mlf

40 x 120 = 14.2 x m (we need to find m)

then sunsitute the equation to : (40 x 120) / 14.2

u get 338j/g which will be ure "M",

do check the mark scheme if its correct....

wo wo wo wo hold up

16.3 is the mass of ice that melted on heating and 2.1 is the mass of ice melted when there was no heat supplied meaning that the ice melted while it absorbed the heat frm the surrounding so i don't get the point of it

u are correct but see, 16.3g was melted, and from tht 2.1 melted after the heating

so 16.3 and 2.1 are not the mass melted by heater...

the one melted from heater is when 2.1 was melted from the 16.3

after that how can more 2.1 g melt from that melted portion

alright let see hopw can i expalin

16.3 (heat from heater +heat from surrounding)  -  2.1(heat from surrounding)  = 14.2 (heat from hetaer)

is tht easier...
Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: Ibiza279 on June 03, 2009, 10:50:24 am
u are correct but see, 16.3g was melted, and from tht 2.1 melted after the heating

so 16.3 and 2.1 are not the mass melted by heater...

the one melted from heater is when 2.1 was melted from the 16.3

wo wo wo it clearly says that 16.3 is melted when the heater is on then furthermore 2.1 g is melted AFTER the heater is off meaning the 2.1 g is the ice melted after the heater was turned off
it doesn't say that a total of 16.3 g of ice is melted man im getting tangled up in this question
Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: Ghost Of Highbury on June 03, 2009, 10:51:24 am
the markscheme says this too..
but the doubt is that why do v have to subtract 16.3 and 2.1???

its clearly says that when 16.3g was melted...the heater was switched on..
thatsy we assume that there is no heat from the surounding..
??
v have to do this for all experiments right??

Hi! I had another tiny question (and probably a lot more as I do last minute revision so plz be patient with me).

Can you please explain to be how to predict the direction of alpha, Beta, and gamma radiations in a magnetic field? Thank you :D

gamma will be undeflected. Alpha and beta twill be deflected in opposite directions because they are oppositely charged. r=mv/bq so probably the alpha particle will be deflected less but you can also use the left hand rule to find which is whixch

lol u got it now. see the question in a different way/manner.... u see  16.3 is not lost by the heater only... they gave u a hint tht excess heat (not from the heater ) was also applied to the ice..

what u need to do, is to take out tht excess heat (by subtracting) and u get the actuall heat supplied by the heater (which is needed for the equation)

answer is  1/2 X 12 X 5 = 30 m

but as the graph is abit curved so just take out 2-4 units, any of the whole numbers u like frm that range, frm the answer
thats what our teacher taught us n so u get the answer as 28

8c: the function of a diode is that its a rectified, it changes frm A.C to D.C so as the A.C current flows in forward bias of the diode, the diode allows the flow but when A.C flows in the opposite direction, the diode doesn't allow that so A.C changes to D.C

n for 2007 i don't hav the paper so if u give me the question, ill clear it

uh wat r the four equations of motion again :D

s= ut + 0.5a(t^2)
s = (u+v)/2
v = u + at
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
 :)



i found fifth equation of  motion
i dont think its there in portion, but i found 5th one
its rocks.

okk..i have attached it...1c...
u have to draw a tangent to the point (where the dent lies)
this way u get the point on the x-axis near 24

24-20 = 4 --> 4/2 = 2

2*12 = 24m!
hope this helped

hey cud sum one explain how to calculate the voltage using a CRO? ???

u need to knw the value of voltage per square in the CRO when u knw that note down how many squares the crest of the wave goes to n then multiply it with the voltage per square n that gives u the total voltage
kk thanks  ;D

By the way the equations of motion.. i always have problems remembering them.. cudnt be bothered to make a mnemonic to try understand them..

only thing is that.. I've never really used the equations of motions in any paper.. so.. should i still bother? because i dont know where exactly to use the equations though I know what they're for

only thing is that.. I've never really used the equations of motions in any paper.. so.. should i still bother? because i dont know where exactly to use the equations though I know what they're for
i remember it this way
newton had 3 sons..satu, vatu and vasu (indian names)
satu => s= ut + 0.5at^2 (s,u,t,a = satu)
vatu => v=u +at (v, u, a, t =vatu)
vasu => v^2 = u^2 + 2as (v, u, a, =vasu)

i know its funny..
but good to remember the formulaes
hope it helped  :)

Salaam ppl! Hope the Bizness paper was gud for all whu tk it. Ok...I've got like a problem. I didn't exactly study Physics much in recent days. I'm not exactly so sure how to prepare for tomorrow. I studied all the relevant stuff from Complete Physics by Stephen Doyle before the mocks . Alhamdulillah, I did reallly well in the mocks. I've solved pastpapers too like upto 2001 maybe. But all this was before the mocks mainly. I only revised a few physics chapters in the study break. Now, my problem is what do I do!!! Should I revise the complete Physics book again. The thing is they dunt really cover everything on our syllabus to the word, like these experiments and stuff. I'm scared I wont finish today on top of that. Or should I just go through the checklist from the cambridgestudents website. I'm sorta confused and getting a bit nervous .....Please offer sum advice.PLease helpp.....Thanks!

Where these to lines meet draw a diangonal to the opposite corner of the paralllelogram. Timnes this length by 100 to get the force in N.

lol sorry fer the incorrect answers well then the other alternative is first one is 9.5 - 8 and the second one is 9.5 + 8 :D

Hey..may anyone please clarify why in November 2008 Qn c), the value of the ice melted is = 14.2??
The question makes it seem like 2.1 g of ice melted..

Also, qn 6b), they've inverted the equation to find the refractive index.. the 30 degrees angle is like the incident angle, however they've assumed it's the refractive angle. I'm not sure why, but is it because, if the angle we're trying to calculate, were to emerge into the glass, that's the angle it would form?

Help please  :(

Help please  :(

u do it like this
n = sin i / sin r
1.49 = sin 30 / sin r
sin r = sin 30/ 1.49
sin r = 0.3355
r = sin(-1) 0.3355
r = 19.6 degree

i think the markscheme is wrong
they have applied the incorrect formula
it is n = sin i / sin r
but they have used n = sin r / sin i

Hey, so i see someone answered ur second question but for the first one..I got a little mixed up with that as well.
What they are asking is for the amount of water that was melted.. AND that is in the beaker. So therefore u gotta do..18.4- 2.1, which then equals 14.2.
I dont know if that was understandable, i mean im remembering the question of the top of my head.
By the way, was it me, or was the paper a little hard. What do u think Hope??? Noone will answer this question -.-

AND ALSO I THINK THE MARK SCHEME WAS WRONG!!!!!! I thought that too, because for sure it is Sini/sinr

if u consider the refractive index of air(i mean nothing like that) but just to explain......the index will be the same but the equation reverses as how we have if the speed of the wave is given in two mediums and the index is given.

like speed of light in air=3x108 and in glass=2x108
refractive index of glass=3x108/2x108
but for light coming out it's 2x108/3x108

i hope u get it...i s at explaining this physics

may someone answer this question
paper 3 oct/nov 2008 q (2) all please and :D thank you

heres how u do it
a) find it attached
b) if the masses are in equilibrium and there is no net moment, the disc will not move toward any side
c) (200/100)N * 4m = 8Nm
   (100/100)N  *   8m = 8Nm
moment due to first mass = 8Nm
moment due to second mass = 8Nm

d) total mass acting = 100g + 200g + 200g (of the disc) = 500g = 5N
Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: Shogun on June 03, 2009, 04:21:16 pm
2a) put different value of masses on bothe sides of the pivot  but make sure tht after using the formula (fxd) (where
f=force and d=distance) the product must be same. (then only they are balanced i.e in equilibrium)

 the distance are given for each hole to the pivot. so i recomend to take the first hole(with distance 4cm) and add mass 200g at one side of the pivot. and on the other side,  add mass 100g on the second hole (with disatnce 8 cm from teh pivot)

but first convert the masses to forces by multiplying the mass into 10, so 200( convert this to killogram by deviding it by 1000 ) 0.2 x 10 u get 2
so when using the formula "fxd " u get on one side: 2x4=8Nm
                                                     and                                      
                                                   on the other side: 1x8=8Nm
                         - see both have the same product so it is now they are balanced(in equilibrium)


ans2b) the disc does not move or rotate as u put the mass so they are balanced so no turning effect which means no moment.

c)use formula "fxd" but convert the mass in to force but multiplying them in to 10 and convert the mass to kg first
               2x4=8Nm
               1x8=8Nm

d)this is the force of pivot which is downwar to get tht simply add the masses u put
1+8=9N

but rmember u can choose any mass at any distance but the product with equation "fxd" must be same

thts all,hope this helped, any confusion or difficulties or help u need, im all here

may someone answer this question
paper 3 oct/nov 2008 q (2) all please and :D thank you


thats easy


look first
a)
u no that moment=force * distance
so 4 instance i chose 200g and 100g
to make sure they both have da same moment
200*4=100*8
800=800
so that its at equilibrium

b)
It will stay stable which ensures that its at equilibrium.

c)
do the same thing i used to explain part a)
M1=200*10*4(*10 because its force and 200g is mass so *10 to make it weight)
m2=100*10*8

M1=M2
8000Nm=8000Nm
and the answer 4 da 2 blaks is 8000 or wateva accordind to ur chosen values

d) (200*10)+(100*10)+(200*10)

=5000N
i multiplies each one by 10 to make them forces



hope it helped :)
Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: Shogun on June 03, 2009, 04:25:05 pm
oh wait forgot to add 2 cuz 200g of the disc (covert to killo then to force) . in my last answer

so its 1+2+2=5N

i added wrong mass silly me..

if u read my answer i have written 5N
because 200 + 200 + 100 = 500g = 500/100 N = 5N
thanks

i think da easiest way is  2 draw a parallelogram ;)
Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: Ghost Of Highbury on June 03, 2009, 04:27:50 pm
2a) put different value of masses on bothe sides of the pivot  but make sure tht after using the formula (fxd) (where
f=force and d=distance) the product must be same. (then only they are balanced i.e in equilibrium)

 the distance are given for each hole to the pivot. so i recomend to take the first hole(with distance 4cm) and add mass 200g at one side of the pivot. and on the other side,  add mass 100g on the second hole (with disatnce 8 cm from teh pivot)

but first convert the masses to forces by multiplying the mass into 10, so 200( convert this to killogram by deviding it by 1000 ) 0.2 x 10 u get 2
so when using the formula "fxd " u get on one side: 2x4=8Nm
                                                     and                                      
                                                   on the other side: 1x8=8Nm
                         - see both have the same product so it is now they are balanced(in equilibrium)


ans2b) the disc does not move or rotate as u put the mass so they are balanced so no turning effect which means no moment.

c)use formula "fxd" but convert the mass in to force but multiplying them in to 10 and convert the mass to kg first
               2x4=8Nm
               1x8=8Nm

d)this is the force of pivot which is downwar to get tht simply add the masses u put
1+8=9N

but rmember u can choose any mass at any distance but the product with equation "fxd" must be same

thts all,hope this helped, any confusion or difficulties or help u need, im all here

how o u get the d) answer as "1+8" 
the masses chosen is 200g and 100g = 2N and 1N --> 3N + 2N(of the disc) = 5N
am i correct
i am not sure
plzz help
thank u :)

Post by: Eamyzz on June 03, 2009, 04:29:37 pm
may someone answer this question
paper 3 oct/nov 2008 q (2) all please and :D thank you


thats easy


look first
a)
u no that moment=force * distance
so 4 instance i chose 200g and 100g
to make sure they both have da same moment
200*4=100*8
800=800
so that its at equilibrium

b)
It will stay stable which ensures that its at equilibrium.

c)
do the same thing i used to explain part a)
M1=200*10*4(*10 because its force and 200g is mass so *10 to make it weight)
m2=100*10*8

M1=M2
8000Nm=8000Nm
and the answer 4 da 2 blaks is 8000 or wateva accordind to ur chosen values

d) (200*10)+(100*10)+(200*10)

=5000N
i multiplies each one by 10 to make them forces



hope it helped :)
hello eamyzz
just need to confirm one thing
are u sure that the answer for d) is 5000N
if so plz explain me how..
if u read my answer i have written 5N
because 200 + 200 + 100 = 500g = 500/100 N = 5N
thanks
 :)



ya sure...look u didnt multiply the masses by 10 to make them forces
look this would b da answer if u did
=(200*10)+(200*10)+(100*10)
=2000+2000+1000
=5000N
thats all :)
if its still not clear dont hesitate to say it ;)

Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: Shogun on June 03, 2009, 04:31:37 pm
umm eamyz u have to first devide them by 1000 cuz they are in grams

u must devide the mass by 1000 to convert them to killos THEN multiply them by 10, so u get

200/1000= 0.2kg
then 0.2kg x 10 = 2N

common...i just answered a question and asked a doubt

whose giving me -rep for that
 :(

@eamyzz...
100g = 1N
200g = 2N

i don't think u multiply it by 10..
plzz clear my doubt
thanks once again

the newton thingy

am i correct

100g = 1N
therefore 200g = 2 N
?????

ooops another silly mistake Thanks so it will b
=(0.2 kg*10)=2N

=2N+2N+1N
5N

in these types of wierd questions
u need to be a little smart

wat u do is write all the possibilities like sound, heat, KE...etc..

they will ignore the ones not required and give u a mark for heat

Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: Ghost Of Highbury on June 03, 2009, 05:29:04 pm
lol..it k...no need to be sry

okk heres ur answer
ai) pressure of a liquid = 10 * h * d(density of water)
                                = 10 * 70 * a050 = 7.35 * 10^5
ii) total pressure = pressure of water + atmospheric pressure => 735000 + 100000 = 835000
b) pressure = force / area
force = pressure * area
 = 6.5 * 10^5 * 2.5 = 1625000N
c) as density is directly proportional to the pressure, the pressure on the submarine is less because the density of freseh water is less..

hope that helped

Post by: Shogun on June 03, 2009, 05:33:45 pm
lol, wierd, i think its cuz- not all energy is transformed to k.e, i dont think this goes like tht law of cnservation of falling bodies (where at falling ,some of it is ke and some of it is pe.)

cuz the question says "the energy transoformations" and the mark scheme avoids by saying tht the whole pe was changed to something, as it only said transformed or decreased...

and heat is a must, as heat is lost due to friction, as any waste enrgy is lost mostly by heat.

HERE U GO::::

a) i]  = gravity* density*height
        = 10*1050*70

@adi.....big tym lol...believe me dats xactly wat i thot i ll du but i wz just curious...ders no doubt da xaminers r doubt...u nvr understnd wat dey want

@eamyzz.....4 da ques concerning energy conversions....da MS also said 2 ignore sound....lol....just du wat adi said  ;)

n abt da rulez....im confused 2 but i ll try 2 explain n any1 plz correct me if im wrong......

der r 3 things:  movement(motion of wire), magnetic field n current.....if any 2 of dem r occuring, den da 3rd wud b produced.....like in a generator....da wire is moved n der r magnets creating a magnetic field.....so a current is generated while in a motor.....ders da current n magnetic field producing movement of wire

now in a generator u wud use da right-hand rule 2 work out any of da three bcuz da current is induced.....n in a motor u wud use da left-flemings rule(usually 2 find da direction)

motors n generators r just examples By the way so apply in similar types of diags of machines given.....

i hope u understud....adi n shogun or anybody plz correct me if im wrong....thnkz...Take care...all da best! ;)

can anyone plz explain the spontaneous nature of radiation??? QUICKLY PLZ!!!

radiation occurs naturally over space and time. the is no way to tell which particles will emit radiation in a sample.its totally random

can someone help??? in the syllabus, it says, for the magnetic effect of a current, "state the qualitative variation of the strength of the magnetic feild over salient parts of the pattern" (4.5 d) what does that mean??

this just means, that, for example, a wire with current has a magnetic field, the further away you go from the wire, the weaker the magnetic field becomes..such a question is in june 2003..do check it out..

for 9a..its mainly the normal explanation, that, when a current-carrying conductor, is placed in a magnetic field, it experinces a force due to the magnetic field due to the magnet and magnetic field due to current coinciding..
for b, since its the motor effect..we use flemings left hand rule...first finger, from N to S, middle finger, from + to -..and thumb gives the force, which is anticlockwise..

eddy currents happen in a transformer
it is the leakage of current in the iron core of the transformer it happens because iron is a good conductor of electricity to reduse it the iron core is laminated into thin sheets

Heyyy Guys!
Okay, i have some very important advice- thats a secret. So dont tell anyone!!!!!!!!!!! ha. Plus points there..hahah
DESPITE THE FACT THAT I AM NOT TELLING A STUDENT FORUM FULL OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE!

ANyway, So for the paper 6..the night before I did a past paper 2006 june. The first three questions in teh 2009 paper, were exactly the same. And i mean EEEZACTLY.
So, according to my calculations (inhaler, push glasses up nose, haha dork attack) umm, they might base paper 3 from June 2006 as well.

they both have the same function
they connect the coil with the circuit so that currnet can flow through
or in other words after every half turn the current passes from one ring to the other  around the coil in the opposite direction.this ensures continuous rotation of the coil

Post by: devileye on June 03, 2009, 06:55:23 pm
By the way those are brushes which connect to the circuit but in another way it's medium of connection which is joint to both brushes and coil...and it's function is to rotate with the coil...as when the coil in vertical it's doesn't have enough force to turn...the commutator overshoots the vertical and changes the direction of the current through it..making it turn.....commutators are mainly in dc motors ...in ac generators they don much as ac requires a shaft to turn the coil..not any source such as battery to be specific steam is used in power stations...

Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: Ghost Of Highbury on June 03, 2009, 07:29:59 pm
the constant is different for different materials
it is called the resistivity for the material
R = k*l / a
the resistivities of metals increase at high. temperatures, for most other materials
it decreases

don't worry u don't need to know the value

a virtual image cannot be formed on a screen, rays appear to come from the ray but actually don't.

Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: Ghost Of Highbury on June 03, 2009, 08:06:49 pm
a normally closed switch has a spring in it and has a set position of closed..
it allows the current to pass through..until the switch is pressed continuously
a normally open switch is the opposite of that
it prevents current to pass through when pressed..and when not pressed prevents current
like the ones used in those pain relief heaters..
it starts heating when u continuousy press the switch ,when it gets too hot, u release the switch///

How do u draw a dc motor..
and ac motor?
Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: Ghost Of Highbury on June 03, 2009, 08:25:19 pm
OMG GUYS URGENTLY!!!!!!!!

I have a question..
If they ask you to draw a DC motor??? HOW?? My book doesnt have it..
and and AC MOTOR? what id they ask us that..its realy comlicated..what with the split ring commutators and all. HELP EEK!

my book has it
the drawing of dc motor
but unfortunately my scanner is not functioning
if u use tom duncan physics
chk out pg 221
--

well i can provide u with the text though
heres it
a simple dc motor consists of a rectangular coil of wire mounted on an axle which can rotate between the poles of a C-shaped magnet, each end of the coil is connected to half of a split ring of copper, called a commutator.
which rotates with the coil
two carbon blocks the brushes are perssed lightly against the sommutatoor by springs. the brushes are connected to an electric supply.

find the image in google images
good luck

hey sweetsh angell
it is a wierd question
but i have tried to solve it
is the answer 160 degree
i am not sure
plz chk it and do inform me..
if not
tell me the answer
i'll try n figure out
thanks :)
its 160
says so in markscheme
Thanks for da pic attached for the answer bt if u can xaplain y u took those angles =/
i drew a common strait line for the points 'n found out that they were 5 dergrees lesser so 85-5=80 and 80+80=160 can we tke it dat way or can u plz xplain how u got it
plus the question says calculate not find out so can we still use the diagram?? ???
Thanks  ;D

Post by: Ghost Of Highbury on June 03, 2009, 08:35:17 pm
look at the image
let the intersection point be called X
PQX is a straight line
<RQX = 180 - <PQN - <NQR = 10 degree
same for the other side
therefore <XRQ = <RQX = 10 degree

angle sum property of triangles = add up to 180
therefore <QXR (the question) = 180 - 10 -10 =160
hope it helped

Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: Ghost Of Highbury on June 03, 2009, 08:58:41 pm
Just what the words suggest.

A slipring is a conductive ring - usually solid - on which a conductive brush/contact rides so as to complete a circuit even as the ring turns.

Q.6,7,11,19,32,33 - June 2000

and

Q.3,4,9,24,37 - Nov 2000

please help! i know the correct answer, i just wanna know WHY :S
Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: 7ooD on June 08, 2009, 10:41:04 pm
ok for
Q 3 constant speed means same speed so a straight line that is parallel to the x axis which should be C

Q 4 acceleration can be found by the equation of V-U so here the V which is the final velocity is 150 and U the initial velocity is 50 so acceleration is 100

question 6 bathroom scales and force meter and top-pan balance all depend on the force of gravity but for beam balance the unknown mass in one pan is balanced against known masses in the other pan

Q7 easy the beaker mass is 100 g and the beaker+water is 140 g so the mass of the water is 140-100 and apply the equation mass=density*volume to get the density

Q 9 take this rule in mind whenever the effort or force or weight is away from the pivot it means it is less than the other force on the other pivot therefore less effort in the longest and furtherst from the pivot which is at D

Q 11 they use the concept of pressure in liquids to convert it into electrical energy so they choose D because the more the depth of liquid the more the pressure that water flows faster and thus the turbine rotates faster giving more output so at D it is at more depths than A and B and water level is less so greater tide but if it was at C the water level on the other side is more which doesn't generate more tide than D

Q 19 warm water is less dense so rises up and cold water is more dense and thus sinks which is true for convection in air hot air rises and cold air sinks

Q 24 sound doesn't travel in vaccum and thus window x is better at stopping sound because it has vaccum

Q 32 the live wire is directly taken from the station and is the one which supplys the lamp but the neutral wire is an extra wire which just is used to complete the circuit and also to give current to other equipment so putting a fuse over there won't help when the current is too high or to prevent electrical shock when the lamp is broken as the live is still on

Q 33
 the cable becomes hot and melts because the lamp uses a wire that takes less current but when the same wire is used for the kettle it has more current thus more heat so it will become hot and melts

Q 37 the light dependent resistor depends on light the higher the light lower the resistance lower the light higher the resistance

Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: nid404 on June 09, 2009, 06:08:39 am
the bar is inside the solenoid..it was moved into the solenoid,causing the field line to be cut. the rest r not correct anyways. For A the magnet is a part of the whole connection(absolutely wrong) for C the magnet is outside the solenoid and being rotated(if it were inside then a pd would be induced as rotating outside does not cut the field line and for D the magnet is being taken away from the solenoid it needs to be taken into it so that field lines can be cut

Can some one please help me out? In Oct/Nov 2007...there are a two questions i don't understand. Question 7 and 21. Help would be appreciate it!


Question 7.

The mass of the drum is 200 WHEN EMPTY, when full of the spirit, it is 1000kg, so this means that the mass of the spirit is....800kg's
And since density=Mass/Volume, so, Density=800kg/1cm3 which is equal to 800Kg/Cm3
Answer: C


Question 21.

The line should represent the amplitude, because the aomplitude is the line that is in the middle and ANY WAVE THAT RESTS WILL BE ALINE WITH THE AMPLITUDE, Answer:B

Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: winnie101 on June 09, 2009, 12:14:35 pm
RESISTANCE is proportional to 1/cross sectional area. so if u decrease the cross sectional area, the resistance inc, if u increase the cross sectional area resistance decreases, thats why its A
Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!

in addition to winnie when the resistance increase temperature increase so over here we need low resistance

could some 1 tell me what is the threshold  4 A


The half-life of a radioactive substance is 5 hours. A sample is tested and found to contain 0.48 g
of the substance.
How much of the substance was present in the sample 20 hours before the sample was tested?
A 0.03 g
B 0.12 g
C 1.92 g
D 7.68 g

wats the answer 4 this n how do u find it
Title: Re: phy pap 1 here

20/5 = 4

0.48 * 4 = 1.92 g

ohhkk.got it

5 hours before it was = 0.48 * 2 = 0.96
10 hours before it was = 0.96 * 2 = 1.92
15 hours before it was = 1.92 * 2 = 3.94

Hey everyone!
Check this out : When we put our hands above a fire most of the heat gets tranferred by convection, while the energy from solar pannels mostly comes from radiation, so how come?
Title: Re: phy pap 1 here
Post by: Ghost Of Highbury on June 09, 2009, 06:07:13 pm
true ... heat tranferred from the sun by radiation
Title: Re: phy pap 1 here
Post by: godfather93 on June 09, 2009, 06:08:14 pm
heat from a fire heats our hands mostly by convection (and some radiation) because the heat produced directly heats the air above (for a lot of radiation to happen the nucleus of the atoms must be affected greatly as well). Whereas in solar panels, it is absorbing radiation, so naturally it will also reflect radiation (some convection takes place as well)

Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: Ghost Of Highbury on June 09, 2009, 06:17:03 pm
the fire heats up the air above the fire and thus transfers it to our hands by more of convection but less of radiation


whereas the heat transferred from the sun to the solar panels is majorly in the form of radiation ... because in outer space there r negligible air molecules to transfer the heat...

Okay for graphs- or screens for AC and DC.

Hmm, how do we explain this.. But i guess an AC screen, would be like 'hills' one on top and one on the bottom? right?? Ok i know that..
but for DC? I know they 'hills' are all on the top, but are they next to eachother or are gaps left in the middle??? HELP

i think 2 is a markscheme error because like u sed its c, or at least i got it 2 be c as well.

however 9 is b because its the most stable arrangement. the clamp is steady and the jar or w/e it is is closest to the surface so incase the clamp opens the jar wouldnt smash or anything.

2- the half life of a radioactive substance is 5 hours a sample is tested and found to contain 0.48 g of the substance how much of the substance was present in the sample 20 hours before the sample was tested ?? i also know its ''D'' but again how ??

thanks and +rep for anyone who answers =]

OK so 1 is B i dnt knw the value  1.3- 0.9 = 0.4 * 2 = 0.8 ... we got 1.3 - 0.8 = 0.5 kg as  0.5 kg mass of bottle.

2 .. again didnt look at the paper.. but guessesing tht answer shd be 7.68g... as 4 half lives reversed as of 5 hrs 1 time.. so 0.48*2*2*2*2 = 7.68.

thanks and +rep for anyone who answers =]

For no.1 : first find the mass of the half of oil( 1.3-0.9=0.4), then u know that other half is 0.4 too. So, subtract the whole mass of oil (0.4*2) from the mass of bottle and oil (1.3) to get 0.5kg
For no. 2: Half life(time for value to half) is 5 hours, and there are 4  5s in 20(meaning you'll have to multiply 0.48 by 2  4 times to get the value 20 hours before decay
so, finally, you'll get 7.68g

I hope this helped

OK so 1 is B i dnt knw the value because i didnt look at exam but shud be 0.25kg becuz.. 1.3/2 = 0.65 half left... but we got 0.9 kg as mass so 0.9-0.65 = 0.25 kg mass of bottle.

2 .. again didnt look at the paper.. but guessesing tht answer shd be 1.92g... as 4 half lives reversed as of 5 hrs 1 time.. so 0.48*4 = 1.92.

The speed of a cyclist reduces uniformly from 2.5 m/s to 1.0 m/s in 12 s.

(a) Calculate the deceleration of the cyclist.

deceleration = ..................................

(b) Calculate the distance travelled by the cyclist in this time.

distance = ..................................

How would u do the (b) part ? The examiners report says that it should be average speed multiplied time... but how do u get the average speed ? Please show your workings !

Post by: astarmathsandphysics on December 27, 2009, 01:40:54 pm
Average speed is (u+v)/2=(2.5+10)/2=6.25

Okay I really need help in Paper 3 2008 may Question 5 (c)

Why do you haave to subtract 2.1g from 16.3 grams ?

The Examiners Report says that many student didnt understand the significance of the 2.1g melted in the 2 minutes.

So what is the significance ?
Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: astarmathsandphysics on January 01, 2010, 10:33:02 am
The 2.1 g would have melted without the heater
Title: Re: Physics Help HERE ONLY !!
Post by: holtadit on January 01, 2010, 10:40:38 am
I thought about that too... but the mark scheme says:

using Q=ml  do (2.1-1.3)/4min * 60

If the 2.1 grams melted without the heater in the next 2 minutes why is a total of 4 minutes being used in Q=ml ??

I will read the q again. I only said what I remembered last time I answered this.
