Re: WJEC Physics PH5 A2 Exam 18/06/2012I found it really easy, but i found June probably easier, well section A and C, I never did the June 2011 case study.(Original post by EMPStudent)
Yes. But I think this year's paper was significantly easier thus will be around 74 IMO. But may not be that much easier. What does everyone else think? -
Re: WJEC Physics PH5 A2 Exam 18/06/2012for the doppler effect thing you had to explain that Mp >> Ms with d small and explain how implementing that into the equation gave a bigger Vs (radial velocity) which when used in the doppler equation (delta lambda/ lambda = v/c) made it easier to detect a shift in spectral lines.....(Original post by ThreeCheers)
The case study was kind of easy and I got the formula but I really couldn't answer the question about why the formula suited the statement that Doppler effect works best for large planet close to a small star....what would have been the answer? And it was 4 marks
and the next question about applying the same thing to the graphs....??!!
And they wanted us to scale the units for the ECG in Option D... lolwut
I think... -
Re: WJEC Physics PH5 A2 Exam 18/06/2012ah ok thanks, do you mean Ms >> Mp? I sort of outlined what you say but nowhere near as sensibly(Original post by scaddaboosh)

Re: WJEC Physics PH5 A2 Exam 18/06/2012yeah sorry, i meant Ms >> Mp. damn that exam was hard, my brains frazzled :P(Original post by ThreeCheers)
ah ok thanks, do you mean Ms >> Mp? I sort of outlined what you say but nowhere near as sensibly

Re: WJEC Physics PH5 A2 Exam 18/06/2012Quite possibly, for past papers, A* has been around 81 and full ums has been anything above 88 raw.(Original post by ThreeCheers)
Also people that are well up on UMS and all that, would something like 80/100 in that exam scale up to actually more than just 80% of 132? (UMS of PH5) -
Re: WJEC Physics PH5 A2 Exam 18/06/2012no actually i do mean Mp >> Ms(Original post by ThreeCheers)

Re: WJEC Physics PH5 A2 Exam 18/06/2012If the distance is small and its a smaller star your dividing by a small number which helps to make v large.(Original post by ThreeCheers)

Re: WJEC Physics PH5 A2 Exam 18/06/2012That wouldn't make sense.(Original post by scaddaboosh)
no actually i do mean Mp >> Ms
They were talking about exoplanets being bigger. Not exoplanets being bigger than the star it is orbiting
Although the rest of what you said sounds right. -
Re: WJEC Physics PH5 A2 Exam 18/06/2012
Can anyone tell me if any of the two planets we had to plot were in the habitable zone??? :/
As for the ratio, can anyone confirm if it was 1/25?
Furthermore, was the force on the point between the two wires out of the paper??
What did you make of the derivation of that self inductance equation = horrible ://Last edited by MJ*; 18-06-2012 at 18:12. -
Yeah MATE got the same as you MATE(Original post by stevieb12)
the resultant force on the point p was to the right with a force of 1.2x10^-6 T

Re: WJEC Physics PH5 A2 Exam 18/06/2012The charge was 0 thus meaning that the time taken to discharge is less than 50ms(Original post by Bland New Eyes)
Wasn't too sure what they wanted when they said comment on the magnitude of the charge?
Also for whether the statement agreed with the parameter graph thing? -
Re: WJEC Physics PH5 A2 Exam 18/06/20121/25th for the sun Jupiter area comparison? I put 1/400th since it was a 20th of the size and Area is pir^2 so it was 1/20^2? I plotted one in the habitable zone and one outside.(Original post by MJ*)

Oh excellent news, I said that! xD(Original post by EMPStudent)

I didn't find it too good, I hope I got maybe 50-60%, I'll be ecstatic if I get a D.
A D may not mean much to some people, but it's a personal achievement for me!

Re: WJEC Physics PH5 A2 Exam 18/06/2012Ah nice one MATE, tell you what MATE meet me at the local, get a couple bevies in and we'll sort out the other answers MATE(Original post by somaiyar)
Yeah MATE got the same as you MATE

Re: WJEC Physics PH5 A2 Exam 18/06/2012A 60% on that paper would probably be a B. Well done Rhys, good on you(Original post by RhysHamer)
