because the answer is weight, not gravity

im sure gravity would be accepted. i wrote that too

The answers bloody gravity, so stop arguing weight. If you put weight there is clearly not intelligence in that brain

Excuse me?

Wow you must be insanely clever to be saying things like that :redface:

I really want to make sure I send you the mark scheme when AQA have marked this paper because usually they accept both!

If the diode was the wrong way round to the battery then yeah it's right

I think 47/60 for A*
And 40/60 for A

noo, it cant be thats too low ! 78% can no way be an A*

Look at AQA's previous grade boundaries :smile:

You'll find June 2012 P2 for an A* it was 41/60

The switch was open.
Voltmeter in series.
Ammeter in parallel.

I think there was some others but there's a large debate over it.

ohh i didnt think the witch was open would count so i didnt put it :L -_-

I also put an open switch as well, but don't know if that will be accepted.

^^

Original post by ThatGirlx

As long as you wrote them seperately and used more scientific key words thats right
E.g. Voltmeter is connected in series
Ammeter is connected in
Parallel

i didnt put them separately i put them as 1 :/

Original post by Minecraft27

I got that, but I couldn't think of a second thing, so I made a wild guess and said that the diode was the wrong way round. Lame I know, but you never know, it might just be right.

OMG

i put the exact same thing !!! :biggrin:

haha :L

It was once 41/60 for an A*.

THIS WILL SETTLE EVERYTHING!! THIS IS A QUESTION IN THE P2 JUNE 2009 PAPER (OLD SPEC):
The diagram shows a steel ball-bearing falling through a tube of oil.The forces, L and M, act on the ball-bearing- 'What causes force L?' (FORCE L IS FACING DOWNWARDS)

ANSWER IS (IN MARK SCHEME):
gravity/ accept weight
do not accept mass /
accept gravitational pull/

Yes but thats not the question we had- gravity causes weight so gravity is the correct answer in that scenario.I have always learnt that gravity causes weight and weight is the actual force.

am i the only person who thought that was rather easy :L ... i got 48 or 6 marks (96 UMS)
#ahh well i expect these second exams to have higher grade boundries :smile:

but i reckon i scored over 50 on all of them so i should be fine hopefully :x:

did the question about braking distance say 'name one other factor that effects braking distance?' or 'name one other factor that increases braking distance?'
