Re: A2 Physics Unit 5 ~ 18th June 2012Iffy?? Whatt?(Original post by bahjat93)
It's all good right? the website seems a bit iffy

Re: A2 Physics Unit 5 ~ 18th June 2012I'm with AQA but i think the answer is going to be the same for you(Original post by iesians)
ok how can you prove SHM by looking at the desplacemnt time graph and acceleration time graph ..?!
.
There are 2 things that must happen for a system to be in SHM.
The acceleration must be proportional to the displacement and the acceleration must be in the opposite direction to the displacement.
Linking this to your displacement time graph and lets say that the Displacement time graph starts at 1 and if the acceleration graph starts from -1 the system can be described as being in SHM. -
Re: A2 Physics Unit 5 ~ 18th June 2012Nopee. I didnt write them, but they're amazing. I studied all of those notes.(Original post by bahjat93)
DW i've downloaded it
.
Are these your notes??
Hopefully they will be able to help me out too

Hey mates
I'm looking for a link from which i can download all the Unit 5 papers up to June 2011, if anyone has come across any such link please let me know. Will be much appreciated
Cheers!
Also if anyone has any questions on Unit 5 please do ask, i'll be more than happy to help, it'll also get my rusty old Unit 5 repertoire running, been focused on Unit 4 too much of late

Re: A2 (Edexcel) Physics Unit 5 6PH05 - Mon 18th June 2012 AMHere you go mate, look for the Physics column, download "Physics QP Jan 2012" and "Physics MS Jan 2012" they've got all the units for Physics:

that's great
So what topic do people think is the hardest in unit 5? -
Re: A2 (Edexcel) Physics Unit 5 6PH05 - Mon 18th June 2012 AMUnit 4 was ok, could have been better, Q17 b) c) and d) i didn't like, also the last few questions of Q18 were kinda annoying but i reckon it went well compared to the Jan Unit 4 paper.(Original post by attiyatanvir)
i didnt even start p5 have maths c3 n how was p4 i had sooo gud practice n paper was worst
I have C3 coming up as well. The paper that really stresses me though is C4.Last edited by heretolearnscience; 13-06-2012 at 15:55. -

Can someone help with this Q >~< its on thermal energy:
A 500g ball of copper at 75 degrees c is cooled by dropping it into 300g water at 20 degrees c. Assuming no heat is lost, what will be the equilibrium temp?
Specific heat capacities: copper 390, water 4200.
Any help would be appreciated!! -

ΔE= mcΔθ
Energy lost by copper= energy gained by water
Equate the equations for water and copper:
0.5x390xΔ(θ for copper) = 0.3x4200xΔ(θ for water)
Δ(θ for copper)/Δ(θ for water) =6.46 (rearranging the equation above)
So copper loses 6.46 X the temperature gained by water
75 degrees celcius - 20 degrees celcius = 55 degrees celcius
Using ratios:
Δ(θ for copper):Δ(θ for water) = 6.46:1
Δ(θ for copper) = 6.46/(6.46+1)x55=47.6 degrees celcius loss in temperature
Δ(θ for water) = 1/(6.46+1)x55= 7.4 degrees celcius gain in temperature
So, equillibrium temperature = 20 (starting temp. of water) + 7.4 = 27.4 degrees C
OR
equillibrium temperature = 75 (starting temp. of copper) - 47.6 = 27.4 degrees C
Hope i've helped

Can anyone help me understand how to calculate the mass deficit of an atom?
There is a worked example in page 139 of the Miles Hudson book of a proton-proton chain reaction.
I cannot understand how they calculated the mass of the He nucleus to be 4.002602u! -
