That one was pretty much done before a few years back was it not? Can't really think of any others :/

really? never seen it before. last one was pressure of a gas i believe

But it uses kinetic theory to show the pressure of a gas do you not? Which derivation are you suggesting? Sorry, it's getting late and i'm a little confused!

Actually is there any chance the six marker focus on thermal physics?
e.g. Measurement of Specific Heat Capacity..

hoping for comparison of 2 methods of finding nuclear radius!

So you hope they repeat June 2012? I mean I expect them to steal some questions from past papers but that's asking for a lot for them to get one that recent!

sorry, talking about p=1/3Nmc^2 + assumptions.

i get what you mean now actually, guess i'm trying to say it'd probably be the same except bit more mathematical

like an isa type question?

This exam is like a tale of two halves. Astro, I'm uber confident on, but Section A...ugrhh! Since it's my last exam I might just stay up all night for Nuclear & Thermal

Ah yes, ok! See I hope that comes up but think it's a little unlikely because the other one was similar :/ Then again it was a few years back now so you never know! That would be quite a nice one to come up because it's always satisfying once you finish writing it out :smile:

But I can't think of any other gas related ones which I'm guessing is why not many have come up!

anyone got any good videos/links for Ideal Gas derivation?

Search this thread. There's some good ones a few pages back :smile:

yeah true, someone else was saying about a thermal physics question which could be likely, maybe an isa style experiment, which would not be good haha

Its weird coz on one hand thermal has only come up once but they always stick to nuclear so Im just going to revise everything i guess got a long night ahead....

What are the two methods? Just wondering

I sure hope not! Ahah, could not cope with an ISA style one... Ah well we'll find out tomorrow I guess!!

Seeing as we're likely to get the replacement paper, will trying to predict what will come up on this exam by disregarding what came up on last year's work?
