thank you, and if you could also explain Q 25, i'd be grateful! :)

Sure: d x sin(theta)=n x lambda. d & lambda are constants, so d/lambda=n/(sin(theta))=k. So 3/(sin45)=x/(sin90), because the highest order occurs at 90 degrees.

OCT NOV 12 Paper 11 number 23:
F=ke
For spring R, Load is F is W and k is 3k
Therefore, e= W/ 3k
For P or Q, the load is W/2 and spring constnt is k.
Therefore, e= W/2 /k or W/2k
The Overall extension of P and Q is just one of there extensions.. Therefore, total extension is extension of R plus extension of either P or Q.. W/3k + W/2k = 5/6W ..

MJ 12

MJ 12 Nmber 12:
First, we find the common acceleration,
From the two formulas: ( linek in Mechanics)
T- 800= 80a
1200-T= 120a
We get acceleartion = 2.
We kno that in case of pulley, the distance moved by man up is equal to the distance fallen by the bag, thus the two will come to the same height after travelling half the way, i.e. 9m of the 18m.
Thus, in case of the man or bag, v2 = u2 + 2as u is 0 and the s is taken to be 9m.. which gives us 6ms-1.

The angle that T1 makes with R is greater than the angle that T2 makes with R.
R has to be balanced by the horizontal componts of T1 and T2..
Let the angle be @
R= T1cos@ + T1cos@ and R= T2cos@ + T2cos@
We can see that for cos,, the greater the angle.. less the value of cos@.. so in order to cancel out R the value of T1 must be greater as cos @is less in diagram 1. Therefore T1>T2 ..

13. The gravitational pull is the same everywhere on Earth because the mass is the same and so is g.
25. 1/4 lambda in tube X is f. 1/4 lambda is tube Y will be x. Cross multiply to get x=2.
31. Not B because a wire is not a magnet, not C because there is always motion, not D because it's the atoms that are stationary and not the electrons.

momentum is M1V1-M2V2
that is 60m-40m=20m
elastic collision occurs as it is frictionless. M doubled as they stick to eachother so speed halves. 20/2=10
OR just use any value for mass and calculate. For example, mass=10kg. Then before collision momentum= (60*10)-(40*10)=200
after collision should also be 200kgms-1 so mass*velocity=200
as the 2 masses stick the mass is now 10+10 = 20kg
so velocity = 200/20=10

Okay, how would you solve this (common format of Qs, repeated) How can you solve it without knowing the distance between the grating and screen? :confused:
This one is from w09.

26. A parallel beam of light of wavelength 450nm falls normally on a diffraction grating which has 300 lines/mm.
What is the total number of transmitted maxima?
A 7
B 8C 14
D 15
