The tsunami/earthquake xD
I calculated (time for tsunami to reach shores) - (time of earthquakes to reach shores)
yeap. got something like 2260 seconds.

I don't know what I got. I think I fked that question up. I used the formula v=s/t and substituted to find distance (at least that's what I think I did)
I can't remember my answer but I think I got it wrong. I think I got 240s or something like that :mad:

I calculated it as (Energy rate or whatever x 8 )/Mass

Re: Physics exam 31 came from heeeeeel!!!!! What is wrong CI

but then u should have multiplied answer by 2 coz the heater was supplied for 2 min.
(latent heat question)

The heater was supplied for 2 mins till the substance started melting.
Then 11 mins after the heater was turned on, it was all melted and started to increase in temperature again.
So time heater was supplying latent heat is 11-2 = 8 mins

last time i checked 11-2=9 not 8 but maybe u know a form of subtraction i am not familiar with.

Re: Physics exam 31 came from heeeeeel!!!!! What is wrong CI

guys u got the latent heat question wrong :)
the 2 min was to trick you, it took 11 minute to melt all the ice,
they said: and after it started to melt it took 11 minutes to melt all the ice.
they gave us fault info to get fault answers thats what i think correct me if i read wrong ;)

You should multiply by 9 . 11-2=9 as it was LATENT HEAT. the time to melt when its at the MELTING point

Re: Physics exam 31 came from heeeeeel!!!!! What is wrong CI

Yep it's only 9 mins of energy to melt the ice.
But I think I actually wrote it as 8 cuz I was in such a hurry >.>
I think I might just lose 1 mark since I showed him all the working and the '11-2'

Re: Physics exam 31 came from heeeeeel!!!!! What is wrong CI

you dont get the point.
the 2 minutes was a trick, the 11 wasnt the time of heating from the start, it was the time for the solid to become all liquid after it started melting, as i said the 2 minutes was a trick :)
