    Physics: Post your doubts here!

    Neither is easy. The problem with mathematics however is the very low gradient. I remember you could lose like 80 marks in physics and still have an A*. Maths gradient was about 35 if I remember. I'm not quiet sure though. I took both ALevels and my opinion is that physics would be a better...

    Mathematics: Post your doubts here!

    Second part of the question is pretty easy, you just substitute with 2 in the given equation. You find minimum/maximum of something by differentiating it, and equating the derived formula to zero. Thus to find the minimum of the GRADIENT you need to differentiate dy/dx. This would be 1-8/x^3...

    The equation itself is root(8x-x^2) so when it is squared, the root is just omitted and that's it. :)

    K.E.(original) = 0.5mv^2... let it be 0.5, and the new one be 2 0.5mv^2 = 0.5, mv^2=1, v=root(1/m) similarly, new v = root(4/m) mv ( original ) = 1 root(m) mv ( new ) = 2 root(m) The new one is double the old one and therefore the increase is 100%. Notice that the more "formal" way of...

    I'm sorry I'm already a graduate and I'm pretty sure we didn't take that. I hope someone else answers. :)

    Could you be more specific, please? Link an example if you can.

    2) The time period of the wheel is 0.02s. To show it clearly on an oscilloscope you'd need 0.01s/cm, which is B. 3) Large systematic error means that there is an error in the tools you're using for example, so it measures a completely different value from what you're trying to reach. This...

    What exactly is your problem? Be a little more specific and it'd be great if you could link an example.

    As for 7ii) You have the derivative of the equation, also known as "y dash". To get the original curve you simply need to integrate. So... 5 becomes 5x and -8/x^2 becomes +8/x. However, there is the constant of integration, so the final thing is. y = 5x + 8/x + c. Point P is on the curve thus...

    Similar to the question above that one, you'd simply have to expand ( sec + tan ) ^2 sec^2 + 2sectan + tan^2 sec^2 + 2sectan + sec^2 - 1 What's the problem?

    ( s+c ) ( 1 - s c ) Expand the brackets: s + c - s^2 c - s c^2 Using identities s^2 + c^2 =1 s + c - (1 - c^2 )c - s(1-s^2) Do the calculations, it'd give the required form.

    The cosine function can take up any value from -1 to 1. But since it is squared ( k = 2 ) , then it can take any value from 0 to 1. Therefore, to find the first limit, you substitute with 0 , it gives you 3. The other limit, you substitute with 1, it gives you 3-4 =-1.

    PLEASE HELP ME! SOMEONE GUIDE ME!

    The only thing I can give to you is that you HAVE TO DO IT! It's not really a matter of choice. You want that A*, then work to get it. Pretty simple.
