Wdym by gravitational field graphs? Like the lines? Or a graph of g against r

the graphs, like g against r

Can someone send me the link to Zphysics video on lenses

how u lot feeling? any predictions for tmrw?

I feel okay, but feel like paper 2 could be either really good or really awful so i’m not sure. Makes me nervous no one is saying much for this paper though

hey guys, in ur opinion, what is the easiest paper 2 so far in the past papers?

2019 and 2023 imo, obv the 2023 one isn't available online but I had done it in school for the mocks and still have the paper with me

yo do u wanna briefly go through the type of topics/questions on section A cuz I did 2023 in school but I don't have the paper with me now

Any predictions?

Reply 72

what would u say is the hardest past paper

so theres 6 markers but not on required practicals? Can you give me an example of one if possible

probably been answered but no, there are no questions on practicals in aqa physics until paper 3a

sure, the first question is about the derivation of the the kinetic theory model formula. Second is a slightly harder question on thermal physics about a rubber tyre, you need to determine the molar mass for part i and then a question asking why theres a max temp for the tyre. Third is about gravitational fields, to calculate the gravitational field ratio of sun to earth through a graph. Fourth is an electric fields question on finding the ratio of the speed of electron and an argon ion and for the second part, you need to prove that the relationship between two certain quantities is neither an inverse square law nor an exponential. Fifth is about a capacitor charging, you need to find the time taken to charge from 2V to 4V using the charging formula, for the ii part theres a graph of current against time and you need to find the capacitance (by finding charge from area under the graph and then using the capacitance formula). Sixth is on nuclear radius, you need to show that the nuclear density is constant for all nuclei and for the part ii you need to find the radius of a nuclei. Seventh is about moderators, there are two masses on a frictionless track modelled as moderators and there's a graph provided of ratio of final speed to initial speed against the ratio of the two masses and you need to show that when the ratio of masses is 12, one of the masses loses 30% of its initial kinetic energy.

Im confident theres gonna be 2 big magnetism questions tomorrow and i imagine a fair bit of nuclear physics

Screenshot 2024-06-05 195037.png can someone explain this please? i keep getting the force to the left with the hand rule. the correct answer is d for reference

Is it because the switch has closed, so the magnetic field through Q is starting to decrease, so to oppose this change the current now flows through the other way?
I'm sorry I'm really bad at explaining, pis Imk if I need to clarify anything
