Re: M1 Jan 2012 Edexcel Post-Exam discussion - Solutions and Paper in first postarsey, for question 8 c, it travels down, so shouldnt the fmax be in the opposite direction?(Original post by Arsey)
Very easy I thought -
Re: M1 Jan 2012 Edexcel Post-Exam discussion - Solutions and Paper in first postU think it will be less than 70 for 90 UMS ??(Original post by Arsey)
I haven't really thought about boundaries yet, but my first reaction is that they will be high -

it moves up the plane -
Re: M1 Jan 2012 Edexcel Post-Exam discussion - Solutions and Paper in first post
also question 5c, i first found the final velocity of the object at s=30/5, and then that was my initial velocity for the length of time that i would be above 30/5 metres. used 2u/g to get a different answer, 2.32. do i get any marks for that?

Re: M1 Jan 2012 Edexcel Post-Exam discussion - Solutions and Paper in first postyou should have subtracted 76 from 180 at the end so that the answer is 104(Original post by vishcr7)
lastly, 3c, the angle R makes with j. so i took the angle R made with -ve J. so i got tan inverse 12/4 which gave me 76 to the nearest degree. wrong too? -
Re: M1 Jan 2012 Edexcel Post-Exam discussion - Solutions and Paper in first postbut they asked for the angle it made with j. 76 is also the angle it makes with j. anyhow, do u think i get any marks for that at all?(Original post by youlostme)

Re: M1 Jan 2012 Edexcel Post-Exam discussion - Solutions and Paper in first postwhen they ask for the angle from j, they're basically asking you to find the bearing(from north)(Original post by vishcr7)
but they asked for the angle it made with j. 76 is also the angle it makes with j. anyhow, do u think i get any marks for that at all?
i dont know if you'd get any marks, for that you'll have to wait until the official markscheme is out but i guess they wouldnt go as far as give u nothing on this question -
Re: M1 Jan 2012 Edexcel Post-Exam discussion - Solutions and Paper in first postwould someone please tell me if its an A or a B? i want to go back to sleep(Original post by youlostme)

Re: M1 Jan 2012 Edexcel Post-Exam discussion - Solutions and Paper in first postno(Original post by vishcr7)
when the force is removed, shouldnt that make the body go downward? so 4gsin30-fmax=4a?
we the force is removed it will continue moving up the plane, but it will be decelerating.
It will come to rest and then begin to slide back down the plane.
Once the force is removed, it doesn't immediately stop and move in the opposite direction, that is like saying when you throw a ball, the second it leaves your hand it, instead of moving away from you, it immediately moves towards you and smacks you in the face. -

Re: M1 Jan 2012 Edexcel Post-Exam discussion - Solutions and Paper in first postNo one will know until the boundaries are released.(Original post by youlostme)

Apart from the last question, I thought it was very easy, so I am expecting fairly high boundaries.
messed up the 't' question
