So the velocity is 90 degrees out of phase with the displacement.
The kinetic energy will follow the same graph as the velocity but there are no negative values



Ah *******s didn’t do no negative values for kinetic energy! So did you velocity graph look like a sin graph but going negative first?
One of the questions which took me a while to get was the one with mass and 4m string [SMH]. It asked for Vmax but for some reason i just couldn't find the Amplitude-after the reading the question about 6 times. But did you guys use 0.25m or 4m for the Amplitude?

0.25
The max velocity was like 0.39 right?

0.25


Ok thats a relief

Yes. What did you have for max ke? I couldn’t get the same answer using 1/2m*vmax and using their equation
For the energy lost in the SHC question did you guys use 1.6 or 2.2 as the mass?

The max ke was 3.8x10^-3 i believe.

I'm confused on what question you're on about...

The part right after calculating the new temperature as 78C

I had that using 1/2mvmax^2 but a different value using their equation
For the last SHM question how did you do it? did you have to half the Time period to find x? I had x=-0.15:afraid::afraid::afraid::afraid:

I used 1.6 as the mass and did 1.6x4200x22 to find the energy lost

Good I did the same

I did change in ke = change in gpe and rearranged to get h

Ohhh right, Umm i used the mass for the 100degrees flask. Can't remember the value tho. Might be the 1.6kg one

Alright good I did the same

Yeah it did follow a negative sin shape

thats what i did but it was a three marker so was feeling a bit sketchy about it
I got 7.75mm
