It was fine I thought, just struggled with question 4. How about you?

Yeah it was ok. Struggled with the tipping part of 4 and the mechanical energy part of the bullet question. Did everyone else get around 0.19998 for the distance?

Anyone got any bleach I can drink?

Yeah that sounds familiar. Low grade boundaries i think. too easy to loose marks

If anyone can remember what results they got for certain questions, please post so we can try to put together an unofficial mark scheme.

I'll post what I can remember:

Q1

i) 7/3 i think
ii) If P was -2ms-1, then e would be greater than 1, therefore impossible
for one i got 35/13, maybe the one where it drops off

Q2

i) F = 250N
ii) 0.5ms-1 for the block and bullet
iii) 1.9998m (not sure about this one)
b) Not sure for part b)

Q3

i) x = 0.99 and y = 0.4 something?
ii) other Y was 180 I think and show that = 120
iii) Diagram
iv) "show that"
v) Got -111N for one of the internal, and I think 468 for another

Q4

i) "Show that"
ii) "Show that"
iii) 15N for T
Lost about like 10-13 marks on Q4 alone.

I didn't get the equation for center of mass Q4 part i, and no clue for part II either

But I got 0.019888 for mechanical energy question

Definitely didn't get that 111 N thing, but I got like 75N compression for one of them. I also 0.198 m for mechanical energy, not what you guys got :/ Rest is pretty similar to what i got.

Got the same for most of these :smile:
got very confused in the ME question so didn't get that correct :frown:
I think I got μ=0.833... or something?
Also for the one where it's dropped off, no change in velocity as no horizontal component applied? (thought it was like the snowball past exam one of you can remember it?)
Was getting answers in the 400's and 300's regions for the tensions frameworks question (I think), definitely got the 468N one, not sure about the 111N though
(edited 7 years ago)
μ=0.833 don't think so. I remember definitely that its 0.866. and frictional force was like 44.1 N. Yeah 468 definitely familiar.

Yeah I got 0.866 and 44.1 also. For the first question did you get e=1/9 and v = 7/3?
