Bo problem :smile:

I have attached the question where you have to find the angle of incidence.

And also could you help the on 2c on the attached question, why doesn't the energy convert to kinetic energy?

It is converted to KE also some is dissipated as heat due to friction between the baring surfaces

Hi! The GPE does converts to KE. However, not all of it converts to ke, some of it is wasted as sound and heat.

Yep! I will help you! I am already helping a lot of people. But, which part do you need help with?

just 5a please :h:

According to the mark scheme all GPE is converted to thermal energy :frown:

Sure! I did drew a diagram for you. Since it is only 3 marks, you can just give 3 details. Here is the attachment. I just did this for you. Sorry for the poor quality. :smile:

Even though it's asking for kinetic energy, you have to use the potential energy formula mgh, so you just do 55*9.81*3.2

Also do you know how to do question 6di from this paper? It's only 1 mark but still can't understand it?

Posted from TSR Mobile

I did that first but the mark scheme shows a different way, which I don't understand, and gets a slightly different answer.

And nope that was going to be my next question :biggrin:

I think you have to mention that there is a little almost no overall change in ke. Most of it is transferred to heat and sound energy due to the friction and drag resistive force.

I guess where is says lost it means energy lost from the system therefore the energy lost as heat due to friction

How are you actually meant to know that, I at first put GPE-KE and some converted to heat due to work done against resistive forces. Why don't you gain any kinetic energy, i though you always gain it when going downhill?

Yes you do gain ke when going downhill. However, the most gpe in converted to ke at the start, later on, most of it is wasted as heat and sound etc. I am not sure why the mark scheme says no gpe is converted to ke but only heat and resistive drag force.

Next half period would be time taken for the string to oscillate into one complete cycle divided by 2. This means you will have to explain the movement of point y with in the first half period. You will also have to write down where about the point y be after half period. Does this make sense?

The first part is simple, you just draw a cuved dotted line above and below the line given to you. Basically two nodes and one antinode. The second part requires you to understand the first part - because you have drawn two of the dotted lines, the wavelength is double the original so you multiply 0.64 by 2 to get 1.28m as your answer.

For part bi you again draw your dotted lines above and below, but this time you have a space of 0.16m between nodes and so you divide 0.64 by 0.16 which gives you four. That tells you that you need to draw 4 half wavelengths, or two full wavelengths.

This stuff is hard to explain so I've attached a picture of what I did when I attempted this question a few days ago.

Because the wave is oscillating and the points on the wave go up and down? Vibration is perpendicular to travel for transverse

Yes however I don't understand how it is positive maximum at a quarter of a period? Thanks :smile:
