Could someone explain gravitational potential to me please? I can do the questions via formal but I don't really get it...
Can anyone think of anything strange that could come up?. Also If I cover everything on the spec that should be enough right?

thanks for this but can you please tell me how volume/area = v ? thanks

Well 2.0*10^-4 is how much volume of water is flowing past one point each second, so it is cross-sectional area * velocity, and you want just velocity, you divide it by the cross-sectional area to get velocity.

Plus you can just look at the units, to get the unit of velocity (ms^-1) using m^3s^-1 (meters cubed per second) and m^2 (meters squared), simply divide the first by the second and you're left with ms^-1 (meters per second).

After being rejected by Cambridge, I'm even more pumped to own this exam.

Lol same here, although I got rejected from oxford :P

Nothing strange should come up, but if it does we cant really prepare for it.

Does anyone have a graph for kinetic energy against velocity for SHM, if that exists?

Surely it would take the shape of a parabola?

EDIT: Like this:

But it would have to have a negative velocity as well surely as, with any SHM system, the velocity changes direction.

Oops, sorry, what i wrote was wrong. I was meant to say kinetic energy against time, starting from maximum displacement?

You could draw a displacement time graph then find the gradient and that would be v against t and square it? Might seem too long though.

Hmm, I don't think you'd be asked that. Although I'm not 100% sure about what I've just said - would somebody be able to clarify this?

I was told it would be shaped like this, instead with the y-axis as KE

How do you work out the answers to Q.13 & 24 from the Multiple Choice section of the June 2010 paper? Mark scheme says answers are A & C respectively

for 13 us v=1/4pi epsilon nought*(q/r)
then use v4=v-16
then you have 4/x=16/(120-x)
then working out you get x =24
or you could do it as a sort of ratio so 4+16=20
and 4 in proportion of that is 5
then 120/5=24

then for 24 it rotates twice as fast so cuts twice as much flux so there has got to be 2 waves in the graph space, and then as it is double omega then amplitude will double so its c

hope that helps

The 6 mark questions in past papers are:

Specimen - SHM
Jan 10 - Transformers
Jun 10 - Momentum
Jan 11 - Capacitors
Jun 11 - Electricity

There could be a question on fields this time, since it hasn't come up before.

is there anything else that could show up apart from fields???

Does anyone have the mark scheme for June 2011 cos I just did it as a mock and wanna I know how I did lol.

can any1 explain how to do this Question

19. A particle of mass m moves in a circle of radius r at uniform speed, taking time T for each revolution. What is the kinetic energy of the particle?

Ok. W=2pie/T. V=wr so v=2rpie/T, square it and sub into Ek=1/2mv2

23. Protons, each of mass m and charge e, follow a circular path when travelling perpendicular to a magnetic field of uniform flux density B. What is the time taken for one complete orbit?

What are the options? Or link to paper please.

do mw^2r=BQV dont forget w=2pi/T solve for T
