GCSE Physics isn't even mostly correct :mmm:


FmaF \not= ma

Even A-level Physics gets this wrong :holmes:
French was a major hilarious flop :lol:

What happened? :redface:

The CD on my french listening paper jammed and kept stuttering! :rofl2:

I think that happened to everyone on that exan board!

For me... Terrible :zomg: never getting complacent with French again, vocab is important!

Also, I was laughing throughout the exam, hence the threat to call the exams officer on me...

RE exam went quite well :-) But then, it sounds like it did for everyone so God knows how high the grade boundaries will be!

I would murder you if you were doing that in my listening exam :colonhash: Not that silence would help me much :mmm:

Got new awesome glasses! They're awesome! And new!

Invigilator: you are allowed to talk. No, not allowed, you can not talk. Etc

So funny... And other things...

I made everyone quiet for when I needed to hear it again.. :wink:

I might actually not get a good mark... I'd say 30 raw mark average out of 4?:dontknow:

That's how bad... If 30

Well to be fair A Level Physics has no calculus in it, so could hardly deal with changing mass. GCSE certainly not.

(although I think it should I mean come on basic calculus is simple)

30 out of 4 seems pretty good to me :mmm:

That's a fairly broad spectrum, but no, I don't think they would be considered that. They're too rectangular. Black frames though :biggrin:

I'm so glad that didn't happen in our exam, if it did I would probably have gotten a worse mark :redface:

The equation in any form isn't quite right though, but it works fine for everyday situations

F=maF = ma

Fm=a\dfrac{F}{m} = a

From here you can see that, as mass approaches zero, acceleration approaches infinity.

An example of a zero-mass particle is a photon, the quantum of light.

As you know, the speed of light is roughly 3×1083 \times 10^8 m/s. According the Newton, though, it should be infinity, as infinite acceleration would mean infinite velocity!

Einstein's theory of relativity covers this, of course :holmes:

Well yes but I'm fairly certain that no one would ever attempt to apply Newton's laws to a photon :tongue:
I thought you can't discuss exams at all - even if it is just saying "'twas good" or "hated the last question" ?

Football is never an excuse! I was (not) doing French revision and I managed to be here!


it is when it is such a tragic moment :frown:
