Edexcel Unit 4: Physics on the Move 6PH04 (11th June 2015)

So for question 17 (a):

Can anybody tell me what they got for the constant E0? So what is the Permittivity of free space in base units? Since in the formula sheet is says: 8.85 x 10^-12 F m^-1, i said: F = m a = kg x m/s^2, therefore kg x m^-1 x m/s^2 which is kg/s^2.

Would be great if you can tell me if that is correct!

That's what I did, yeah


Excellent, that's what I did too and it seemed to work, ended up with a time of 3.03 seconds if I remember correctly?

That frictional force was equal to the centripetal force? F=mv^2/r?


I did this but got the wrong answer somehow. today was not my day

You do, I calculated a number of 3.04 seconds....

Maybe it was simple calculator error like mine for the Voltage question, at least you'll still probably get all of the method marks :smile:

Dude, the F in that case is a unit, Farads, you've got it mixed up with the symbol for Force. I worked it out from coulombs law which was given, can't remember what I got though.

How do you get an A* in Edexcel Physics?
Do you need to get A*s in both units 4 & 5, or do you just have to average an A* in both units?
(I'm using you also need at least an A at AS)
think you need 90% average in all A2 units including cwk and 80% overall UMS?

hopefully, how many marks was the question out of, do you remember?

I think the calculation was 4 marks, so I reckon you'd get 3/4 if you used the right method

average at least 90% in A2 Units and at least 480 UMS in total over the whole a level

Ok, thanks
That means I can revive myself in unit 5 right? Since it's the average that's taken

I got A^2 s^4 kg^-1 m^-3

yes
Yeah I think so, obviously unless you dropped 30 UMS in PSA4 cause you need 270/300. I screwed up so bad in the cwk and got a B, it's still possible for me to get the A* but so difficult, think I did well today though so I'm relying on PSA5 too
i think i got about 55/80. is that B?

unit 4 - 55/80 :s-smilie:
Unit 5 - __
Unit 6 - 35/40 - A*

Oh god, no. i am so stupid. Obvious mistake. bye bye easy 3 marks. now i have 74 out of 80 xD

wait what, how do you know your coursework mark?!

our school didnt tell us ours :frown:?!

A B or a C. But the actual grade you'll get depends on what you got last year as well as how you do in unit 5!!

It depends on the school/teachers! We didnt find out last year, but they told us this year!
Btw, the Unit 5 thread is linked in the OP :smile:
