yeah I meant the last question :smile:
i got something like that too.
there was also a question on efficiency of a power stations, the figures were in standard form. what did you get for that one?
i got something like 0.7% or 7%
pretty sure i was wrong though :frown:



0.7 is correct in pretty sure efficiency can never be above 1%

Yeah but last year's paper was pretty easy compared to this so the grade boundaries should be pretty low.... right?




P.S.

Sorry for the horrible grammar :frown:


I agree so hopefully yes

Yes! I kept going over thinking they havent given voltage? How I my meant to this? Then it hit me, the , maims voltage is 230.


I did the calculation with 240 .-.
I'm just confused on one of the last questions how a coal power station gives out more radiation than a nuclear power station??

I couldn't remember what the mains Voltage was!

believe or not it actually does
Did anyone else talk about contamination and irradiation in the second to last question?

Well I got at least half of that wrong. This was the hardest paper! Did anyone else find it difficult to finish in the hour? I spent more time reading than answering which is stupid.
By end, I left 2 (no time) and half answered about 6!
:frown::frown: Horrid paper

Loads of people I my school messed up timing! It was awful haha I had no idea what to do on half of it.

I did as well!

Yep I did but what did you mention about the 'ash'?

I know you were't asking me - but I said contamination with radioactive matter + respiratory problems :smile:

Damn I wanted a question on redshift/parralax/relative brightness.
I really struggled with timing for this exam-it was about 12 questions.
Does anyone else think that timing was an issue? I think OCR made this paper too long!😕
What is a grade A out of 180 ,120 marks?

I put that too :smile:

DAMN I forgot to mention contamination/irradiation:frown: I mentioned how regular radiation checks on workers and having to dispose of the waste costs etc will I get any marks?
