Re: 2012 Higher Physics Discussionplease do, really intrigued about revised higher to see what was in it(Original post by rawragee)
I have the paper for the Revised Higher exam, I'll pop it up in a bit
It looks like our exams were massively different though!
I think it went alright today, I wasn't happy with a few multiple choice questions as they were too complex for only one mark, and I worked out that there was about 25ish marks just on explanation /:
otherwise, it went well!

Re: 2012 Higher Physics DiscussionMe too-ish! I drew it going west instead of east(Original post by S119234)
I absolutely wrecked the first page of the exam with my scale drawing, got it completely and utterly wrong!, oh well, here's hoping I pick up a few other marks later on.
Just hope that what I got as displacement and bearing is right for what I drew, then I might still pick up marks.

Re: 2012 Higher Physics DiscussionYour diagrams wrong, the angle should be 70 degrees(Original post by aroy45)
Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong for 21a
This was posted from The Student Room's iPhone/iPad App -
Re: 2012 Higher Physics Discussion
Ill put my answers up for people to correct or agree
21a 15.9km at 157 degree
ii) 3.53m/s
B). 15.9km at 157
ii) 2.94m/s
22ai) 61.2m
ii) 11.475m
B). More likely as ball will not travel at far and reach max height earlier
23) proof
ii). 42318m/s
B) 5.6x10^-3
C) xenon as f=ma as mass is bigger acceleration the same. (very unsure)
24). Proof p/Tk is a constant
B). More collisions with each other and outer walls
C). Stopper could be moved by different pressures acting could change volume. (wrong I think)
25) 1.5A
ii) 3v
iii) 13.5W
B) Internal resistance is lower
26) graph with voltage starting at 0 and levelling out at 12V
B) 5kohms (might be 6kohms)
C)the voltage is the same (not sure)
ii). The capacitance in this instance is the same as the voltage does not change (unsure)
27) proof
B) differential
ii) 5.6
B(a) 1.93v
B(b) 55mm (think its 65)
28) 51 degrees
B) partial internal reflection
ii) 48.8 degrees
C). Sketch shows total internal reflection
29a) 3.3x10^-6m
B) 3.03x10^5
C) yes as it falls within the uncertainty range
30) decrease
B) photoconductive
ii). Current increases
C) 6.75x10^-6
31) 0.0125j (wrong?)
B) alpha -
Re: 2012 Higher Physics Discussionno, it was 16km and +- 10m cos you have to round of 15.7 to 16 and every answer 2 significant figures cos the question was in 2 sig fig, there was no decimal places.(Original post by KeithyDee)
The displacement was 15.7 +/- 0.2km. -

agree with everything but tehcnically speaking 21) answers had to be in 2 sig figures since question was in 2 sig figures dont think that matters unless you put too many -
Re: 2012 Higher Physics DiscussionI also wrote that v=d/t for it, so I'm hoping I maybe pick up a few half marks for formula. And pretty sure I got the time right in the last question, just did everything else wrong!, so annoying as well when you're convinced it's perfect in the exam!(Original post by DragonHeartstring)
Me too-ish! I drew it going west instead of east
Just hope that what I got as displacement and bearing is right for what I drew, then I might still pick up marks.

Re: 2012 Higher Physics DiscussionI know! I was hoping for a scale drawing in this exam, and then I go and mess it up! Typical(Original post by S119234)

Re: 2012 Higher Physics DiscussionI'm just going to whip it out (my philosophy in life(Original post by Siwel95)
Oh well, now the wait for August begins. I'm still undecided as to open it slowly showing each grade one at a time or just whip it out haha
) and see how it goes
Just enjoy the rest of your summer ! -
Re: 2012 Higher Physics Discussionhaha same goes for you(Original post by KeithyDee)

Re: 2012 Higher Physics Discussion
Could someone say what the answer to 31(a) is ?, I got 0.00002J using D=E/m, but not particularly sure.
Also, for 28(b)(i), would it not be an acceptable answer to say that it's because the angle in air = 90degrees ?, cause that then leads to the critical angle equation. -
Re: 2012 Higher Physics DiscussionI got some sort of variation of 0.00002(Original post by S119234)

, as for question 28 i cannot remember the question haha
