    Momentum, and maybe a question on brownian motion.

    whats any pendulum expirements? only thing im struglling with other than that im liking it. got 2 A's on both past papers and a B on 2010 one soo kinda anticipating this . But i have psycho on the same day so im not really revising this exam now all attetion towards psycho that prick of an exam

    Any other predictions apart from Momentum and Brownian Motion?

    Read the specification. It tell you all the experiments you have done and need to learn

    I'm thinking there may be a specific heat capacity question, only this time based on a solid rather than a liquid. Though it would be pretty similar to the last one they asked...

    Isn't the solid one where you heat up a solid block for an amount of time. Then place the block in water and measure the temperature differences over time. Is it that one?

    You could do it that way I suppose, a simplier method would be to make holes in the solid one for the heater and one for a thermometer then you wouldn't need to place it in water.

    im retaking this unit. If i do worse on this one will it go towards my final grade or will the other one? This thought is quite worrying me

    You keep the best mark.

    If you do worse, then the grade from your first attempt will be used to calculate your overall grade

    .
    How did you get on with Fields, Particles and the Frontiers of Physics? I remember reading that your were aiming for full UMS.

    How does the pendulum experiment work? or any oscillation experiment or isit circular motion experiment im not even sure. but basically the 3rd experiment after brownian and specific heat capacity......

    Just done a question on the Jan 11 paper and for one of the ideal gas questions I used a method that wasn't on the mark scheme, but I got the exact same answer. Would I get the marks for this?
