AS Physics PHYA2: Mechanics, Materials & Waves

Predictions for the 6 marker guys??!

I cant see any patterns with previous papers, so im not sure! What are you thinking?

I reckon Young's Modulus! Hoping there aren't 2 6 six mark questions like in one of the past papers!!

I'll cry if that happens!

How prepared are you? I'm just going over waves stuff atm.. Tomorrow and Sunday is gonna be wrapping it all up with some past papers.. Can't wait for Monday to be over!!

That would be horrible! what year was that??

This may be quite a tricky question to answer via TSR but I'm doing June 2012 PHYA2 again (see enclosed pic) and have got to question 7bii. With transverse waves I'm comfortable picturing which direction it will travel next as I picture the point moving up and down a vertical line following the pattern of the wave as it moves left to right, but I find it difficult to picture longitudinal waves moving.

Is it just a case of imagining the point moving horizontally ever so slightly either way and in this case there is an area of compression heading towards it so it will go back on itself?

I appreciate this is quite hard to describe over TSR so I'm sorry!

I get what you mean.. Can't explain myself..

a part of me died after i went thru the past papers
hopefully this exam wont be dat horrible
anyone wanna share last minute tips?

I think it's killing us all inside hahah. Last minute I would say go over your class notes, because that might trigger a lot of thoughts you had at the time

lol thx bro i hope they dont give us a six mark question

It's a difficult concept!

I'm doing that paper too.. can you explain the longitudinal movement of q please..

I have no idea which is why I asked hahahaha. Sorry! How are you spending today?
