I screwed up the 6 degree incline question too. Got a ridiculous answer like 0.68 something. Clearly not the maximum velocity.
And I couldn't see for the life of me what to do with the circle one.
But I'm pretty confident with the rest of the paper, so hopefully I should get an A or a high B on the module.

Of course I know EXACTLY where I went wrong on the incline question as soon as they said pens down... Grr.

All I can say is I completely screwed that up, I reckon I'd be lucky to get a decent B. Hmmmm, looks like I'm going to have to pull up my socks in FP3!

5. P=40.v.v v=50
P=40.2500
P=100,000W
100,000=(1500a + 40x25)25
a=(4000-1000)/1500
a=2

This working is spot on so the answer was 2 not 2.67 i'm sorry to say.


ok, your answer may be correct but it doesnt really help if i dont actually know what your sayin. ie, explain what you're doing. i must have got 4000/1500 rather than your 3000/1500, can you tell me why?

Yeah can you explain the method please?
Does anyone think this paper was harder/easier than previous papers?

You were given

P = 100000
Resistive force = 40v
Velocity= 25
Mass of van = 1500


using Power = driving force x velocity

Power/velocity = driving force

so 100000 / 25 = driving force = 4000

Using F = ma

driving force - resistance force = ma

so 4000 - 40v = 1500 a
4000 - 40(25) = 1500a
2 = a

hope this helps

I thought it was easier than past ones.

Granted I am truly awful at mechanics, so maybe I over simplified it.

Ahh yes. I forgot Power=force x velocity.
Such an idiot lol. Oh well at least I got the last question :biggrin:

answers:

1.differentiate something pretty easy. and find force cant remember answers exavtly.

2. found the 21g think other T was 19g not sure tho.

3. coordinates were (9.3,12.8) may be other way round.

4. max v for last bit was 34.5, a=2

5. well...
could do 1st bit.
showed that displacemnt was 8i at t=0 and t=pi was -8i
therefore a cirlce as pi is half a circle therefore it should be opposite.
s=2
for last bit i put magnitude of a=2 but prob wrong

6.got v and t=ln2/0.05=some number

7.said that for min u T at top=0.
for b) T=5ag

8)a)just integrate
b)e=0.something
found that v^2=something
then x=0.208


I will agree with those, seems pretty close to what I remember getting.

i completely missed out the last question. i couldve sworn i saw the 'end of questions' below question 7.

bolllllluxxxx


It said "Turn over for next question"
It'll totally be better, if they didn't put that.

My view of the paper was that the questions were harder than other papers. However a lot of the "hard" questions had come up before.

3 of the big 8 markers I'd done the day before. All of them were in the text book. Personally i thought the paper was excellent because I'd seen everything before and could do everything. It was harder than other years, but certainly not impossible. My friends all said it was harder than anything they'd done.
so you reckon theyll lower the grade boundaries? (so i can just get my A)

I thought it was a lot harder than the past papers, then again, I always find it harder than the past papers lol! Looking at the grade boundaries for past papers, it seems to be around 83% for an A, so I still think we'd be looking at around 60/75 for an A.

Grrr I really wish they didn't have to adjust the grade boundaries like this. I keep forgetting that % does not equal UMS. I wish it did.

worst 90 minutes of my life
