    Does anybody remember what the wording for Q4 was? Specifically part ii?

    Not a massive issue, but shouldn't it be 2.67m (3 s.f.)
    No the paper says "give non-exact numerical answers to 3 s.f." - I gave the exact answer instead.

    Accuracy greater than 3 s.f. is never penalised anyway.

    Hard to say - lose two?
    Hi Mr M I think you need to check your answer to the last part of the pulleys question. The answer should be 0.138m

    First part before object hits ground

    s=0.11025

    Then final velocity = 0.735m/s
    So initial velocity = 0.735m/s for object going up..

    0^2 = 0.735^2 - 2x9.8x s

    s= 0.0275625

    overall s= 0.1378
    therefore 0.138m

    Hey,
    For Q6iv: i showed it would stay in equilibrium by resolving down the plane using F=ma, came out with negative acceleration, therefore proved it was in equilibrium.
    That a correct method or not?!
    thanks
    Yes that's fine.

    No you have dropped 1 mark here.

    P started 0.11025 m above the ground, rose another 0.11025 m and then finally went up 0.0275 m.

    4 (ii) Calculate the speed of the block at the instant the 14 N force was removed.

    Are you certain that he will drop 1 mark? I did the exact same thing. If you are correct I lost 3 marks max on the paper yayy!!

    Not doubting your judgement just want to make sure because I'm ecstatic.

    Yes Kgms^-1 is fine.

    Might be [-1], Answers are required to 3s.f unless otherwise specified.
    They always say or better, you don't get penalised for giving more accurate answers!

    How many marks would I get if I got 8m and 3.6m for the 2 runners on 3ii) but I subtracted them instead of adding them with the 1m? And also how many marks lost for the very last question as I got v=1.55ms^-1 from getting the left hand side as 3.1 x 0.5 = -0.5v + 1.5v

    Hi Mr M,
    For question 4, I stupidly thought that the block was on a slope rather than the force. For some reason I managed to get the coefficient exactly right but my frictional force was different and therefore the speed required was different but I think I used the right method (finding acceleration etc)
    How many marks do you think I will lose and will there be any error carried forward?

    Thanks

    Would I get any marks from the 6 mark of the coefficient of friction if my value that I showed was 0.82 ?

    This is a bit vague - lose 2 or 3?
    sorry, my phone battery was dying :P.

    I resolved perpendicular and parallel.

    For paralell i did it correctly

    However, for perp rather than 32cos30 - 6.4sin30. i did +6.4.sin30.

    After this i did F=muR and found mu (i just gave my answer rather than the show that)

    i was wondering how many i would lose for this?

    thanks

    Has the answers on there too (which match, thankfully, with Mr M's) which might be useful.

    i got 1.55 m/s too do you know what we had to do ?
