does this help?


I'm still struggling to understand what you meant.

I can't help but see logic in the knot initially moving upwards to positive amplitude.

The wave is travelling to the right. The knot doesn't travel along with the wave, it stays at the same position on the x-axis. Since the knot stays at the same position on the x-axis and the wave travels through the knot, the trough passes through the knot first, hence it moves vertically downwards.

Yiu always use suvat
Its just the case if a=0 then 0.5at^2 bexomes zero so equarion s=ut+0.5at^2 becomes s=vt and so on.
Just right down list of
S
U
V
A
T

And then put the values you have git and find the missing

what about page 5 the darts question on time, how would i use suvat?

Can you answer WMP/Jan12/PHY2 Question 7(b) then?

This is not a stationary wave.


The knot is moving in the opposite direction to the way in which the wave is travelling so going down and then up. x

This question concerns projectile motion. S=ut+1/2at^2 is used here for vertical and horizontal motion. In the vertical sense, the initial velocity, u, is zero and hence s=1/2at^2. In the horizontal sense there is no acceleration (there is no resistance to motion, hence this is why this can be deduced) So a=0 and thus S=ut.

They are rekeased at the same instant but horizontal accel of dart is zero.
The accel at the same rste 9.8 so the would take same time to hit the ground

Since a=0 use s=ut

Ah great thanks

It's a transverse wave, therefore the vibrations travel perpendicular to the direction of travel of the wave. That's why it moves UP/DOWN only. However, in this case, the reason it moved DOWNWARDS is because the wave was travelling to the right and the trough passes through it first.

The knot itself is actually stationary. As the wave is moving --> in that direction by default the not will have appeared to have moved whereas it is just the wave moving


Click. Got it.

Many thanks/

How do you know its a = 0?

For horizontal motion there is no force to resist ( assuming air resistance is neglible) and there is no force pushing it in horizontal component so 0 resultant force horizintally

split up into horizontal and vertical components...
For PART 4BI) Horizontal use S=D/T
For PART 4BII) vertical use S=UT+0.5GT SQUARED (Solve for u)

For projectiles always split components into horizontal and vertical.
Horizontal is always speed=distance over time
Vertical - use one of the suvat equations but always use g instead of a

thank you so force is needed for acceleration in horizontal

F=ma
You always need force to accelerate
For any direction

Can someone help me with question 3(e) I don't know what the sketch is supposed to look like and I cant find anything in the textbook

Can someone tell me why (cant remeber the exact ques) why if the wavelength is higher they intensity patterns spread out? and what does it mean they spread out (away from maxima, markscheme answers)


Diffraction definition(spreading out of waves when the pass through an obstacle or aperture right? This is dependent upon size of aperture relative to the wavelength. So if the wavelength is larger, it approaches size of slit it passes through hence greater diffraction. This then means that the maxima are seen over a more spread out space(distances between fringes increases). Hope that helps!!!!!!
