Re: OCR Physics A G481 Mechanics [Thursday 17th May 2012]From what I can remember I got all of those too, I thought that it was a fairly easy paper actually! Would love to see an unofficial mark scheme though.. I hope someone can get hold of the paper soon(Original post by Mattyd951)
Don't know why everyone got 2.6W for the spring one... I got 1.3W and I think (hope) that was right!
The others I can remember were:
11.8 degrees for the slope
10m radius for the turbine
27.3% efficient for turbine
119Kg mass of the rider
7.33m height of the ball
59 degrees for the balloon angle

Re: OCR Physics A G481 Mechanics [Thursday 17th May 2012]yeah same except got 2.6W which i think is wrong.(Original post by Mattyd951)

Does anyone reckon they got 53+ -
Re: OCR Physics A G481 Mechanics [Thursday 17th May 2012]I did exactly the same as u did(Original post by mack94)
About the angle question... How did everyone get 53 degrees????
i thought net force up was 30
18 to the right
Tan= Opposite/ adjacent
So i did inverse tan (18/30) and got 31 degrees? -
Re: OCR Physics A G481 Mechanics [Thursday 17th May 2012]I think it wanted the angle to the horizontal though(Original post by Eric_lee)
I did exactly the same as u did
We worked out the angle the the verticle

One more question people as for the other angle question... How did everyone get 11.8??
W sin(angle) = ma
sin(angle) = a/g
Inverse sin (3/9.81) = 17.8 degrees
Either my methods wrong or my acceleration which i calculated to be 3 ms-2 is wrong.
someone please help a brother out and tell me where i went wrong? -

Acceleration is 2 ms^2 -
Re: OCR Physics A G481 Mechanics [Thursday 17th May 2012]sorry , i got a mistake. i got 59 degree of the angle from aretan(30/18)(Original post by mack94)

Re: OCR Physics A G481 Mechanics [Thursday 17th May 2012]
I despair. My academic life is over.Not really but yeah.I despair.
First question, I forgot to half the time so I got double the distance 14.7.How.Very.Idiotic.
Then for the angle I got 11.8...but misread the followup question and ended dividing the force 510 by sin11.8x9.81(I thought wsin11.8=510)...I had worked out that the acceleration had become -4.29 but I thought this was too simple and crossed it out =/..wth,my silly brain.
For the rockets when they are both fired, I said they remained in rotational equilibrium,at constant speed, no acceleration.sum of moments=0.
And when only a was fired, the satellite gained momentum, and rotated clockwise.
I need at least 85 Ums marks for it all to be an overall A. -
Re: OCR Physics A G481 Mechanics [Thursday 17th May 2012]Aha, awesome! As long as someone else has got the same then it's all good!(Original post by Charlottek12)
