Just started that question will reply in a few mins!
i took C3 and S1 in january so after doing 5 modules, i need 33 UMS in C4 to get an A overall. I've still revised but not as much as I could be doing given that i know I don't have to score highly. I don't want to get too complacent though and miss out on gettin an A in maths (that would be so stupid). Ah well i'm going to continue revising and see what happens.

Got as far as

Try...

(integral)dV / 20 - kV = (integral)dt

-1/k ln|20-kV|= t + C

ln(20-kV) = -kt +c

t=0 V=0 therefore C = ln20

ln(20-kV)=-kt + ln20

kt= ln20 - ln(20-KV)

kt = ln(20/(20-kV)

20/(20-KV) = e^kt

kV =20 - 20e^-kt

V= 20/K - ((1/k).(20e^-kt))

A = 20/k

B = -20/K

it does work, as lander is 1/2. Thanks so much!!!

Lambda. :P

I've still got a third of integration left, and vectors to do before tomorow.

I've never learnt vectors. I'm ****ED

Dear God - I'm so close on an A as well, just need to do well tomorow.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Has anyone been doing the Solomon paper, im finding them SOOO difficult, jsut did Paper E and the questions are just soo tricky! Is everyone else finding Solomon difficult or am i just under prepared!?
Reply 87
It's fine, I dont have a clue what it means, just I have the markscheme :biggrin:

Ah **** I really should do some work!

solomon tend to be harder... look at priorexams.com if you want some edexcel papers.

if your getting high Bs that quite good i reckon

they are defo slightly thougher....but i prefer doing them so you can get expeirence and makes the actual exam little easier to do i guess?!
Yeah you're right, solomons are damn hard man.............I just finished the lot and maan..........if they ever give those sums for the xm, i am so dead!

I just hope that for tomorrow's paper, they don't give too many marks on differential equations and vectors, perhaps 5 marks each? :p: :p:

Jan 06 was a good paper
On January 2006 7.c it asks you...

Given that V=0 when t=0, solve the differential equation dV/dt = 1000/(2t+1)^2 to obtain V in terms of t.

I get the answer right, its just where the answer says -500/2t+1, i get -1000/2t+1

can anyone tell me how i'm wrong please?

Just done the Jan '07 past exam and found it pretty straight forward and thought the questions were really quite nice (for a C4 exam).

Which is a shame because that means they're probably going to make tomorrow's a killer. :frown: Bah!

Can't wait to never have to do maths again. :biggrin:

I must be the only one who finds they can do Solomon better than they can do the actual past papers!

Really not ready for this exam whatsoever! Can't answer a single q off the past papers :frown:

so unprepared! hope it's a hard exam so everyone does crap so the grade boundaries are low! :wink:
58 - A in C4 Jan 07. Obviously people doing it in Jan didn't think it was easy. So chances are they might make this one easier :smile:.

dr/dt = dr/dv x dv/dt

1 (one long space) 1000
--------- x -----------
4(pie)r^2 (space) (2t+1)^2

= 250
-----
(pie)r^2(2t+1)^2

Ah Smeg! hope you still understand despite the layout!


JAN 06 - (7b)

I think there's a mistake in the question

Shouldn't it be dv/dt = 1000/(2t+1)^2

and NOT dv/dr = 1000/(2t+1)

???

how did u find that out?
Found a UMS sheet on the internet.
