For Astro, did people get the temp of the star to be 16000K or 5000K? If 5000K why?


16000 (although like an idiot I put 16100)

What was the hard bit in TP? Only 3~4 marks were hard. The rest were straight forward questions imo. I think 5D will have 62 for an a* and 54 for an a. Last year was much harder


What do you think the 120 cap will be for 5D? 67ish ?
was it a white dwarf guys and is the interaction electromagnetic?
The 6 marker on absolute zero was amazing, so good. The Turning Points 6 marker was similarly awesome.

No proton number is same

Yeah but neutron isn't, hence radius isn't constant hence gap width isn't constant.
Has anyone else done Applied?

Yeah, 67 ish but any higher i doubt.
The temperature of the star was around 16000k right
I thought the angle was smaller than the minimum angle resolved by telescope grrr

The only tricky one was the one where you had to find the voltage applied to the electron, otherwise most of it was quite straight forward.


I agree it was easy . The calculations were straight forward. But in my school alot of people found it difficult and made tiny mistakes in large calculations..

Anyways did u get 4.12 to thE something for the 2nd last turning points one??

What's the whole thing out of? 100?
Did we all get 318/320K for the last (Part A) Q on temperature of a gas?
What was the radius of the star where the temperature was 16000K?

No change as charge of gold nucleus unchanged, force was electrostatic repulsion


I put changed because different sized nuclei.... (Different number of neutrons)

Something like that; I can't remember the exact figure

Wasn't the density 1.3 something x10^17?


Was the mass A times by atomic mass unit??

Yeah I calculated 16111.11 but rounded my answer

Dunno where the 2 is coming from but I got 4.1*10^7
