Re: OCR Physics A G481 Mechanics - 17th MayYep I got 9.99 so rounded it up to 10 metres(Original post by billybluehat)
I'm so confused i dont know whether ive done well or not! Did anyone make the radius 9.96 or something like that for the wind turbine question? -
Re: OCR Physics A G481 Mechanics - 17th Maywill you post it tonight or something???(Original post by teachercol)
I'll post one up later - I've done the paper. -
Re: OCR Physics A G481 Mechanics - 17th May
is this the correct rule for sig figs (in OCR A-Level Physics exams):
Put your final answers to the same sig figs as the values given in the question are i.e. 10.0m(3sf) for the radius question because of the 1030 density (3sf)
Also, if the sf varies throughout given data, do you use largest sf or smallest that is given in question?
Thanks
Just started worrying about it as I suddenly realised I was not sure about the rule -
Re: OCR Physics A G481 Mechanics - 17th MayWhen looking at past mark schemes I don't think they take marks off you if you have the right answer I don't see why they would also in mark schemes they seem to give a few answers to different s.f so it should be ok(Original post by oh_1993)

Re: OCR Physics A G481 Mechanics - 17th MaySaaame with me , but i think i can improve on this one , defoo got c , probs b , but certainly not a...(Original post by HarryW95)
Doesn't sound like I did too good. People keep mentioning figures that don't ring any bells to me..
I got a C the first time round so I may have to settle with that..

Re: OCR Physics A G481 Mechanics - 17th MayYes, I think the sf in mark schemes vary because of the sf given in the questions. They only take off 1 mark in the whole paper though for being too accurate apparently.(Original post by etta)
