btw, paper 11 and paper 12 seems to have the saem qu but the numbers are different. paper 12 is already explained there. try to compare the qu there. if its still not there, use the comment box at that blog
Bruh I did compare only 3 questions were not in the Paper 12. No worries i will find a solution.

Is anyone having problems opening up the past papers. I was able to open the past papers for physics but now it just loads and never actually comes up and just says your server got disconnected...??? Why is this happening Plz help :(

*NOTE "l" = lambda*
1) Examiner is asking for frequency indirecly, v = f*l
3*10^8/(600*10^9) = 5*10^14
8) Uniform increase in velocity means constant acceleration.
27) l/2 = 0.015m, l = 0.03m
v = fl
f = 3*10^8/0.03 = C
32)
The copper wires are in parrallel (||) so total resistance will be considerd for parallel. 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + ... + 1/Rn
6 copper wires. Hence 1/R = (1/10)*6 = 3/5 ohm.
Steel wire || to 6 copper wires = 1/100 + 3/5 = 61/100. R = 100/61 = 1.6 ohms.

Pi = mu
For elastic collision, Pi = Pf, No sticky collision as its perfectly inelastic and not in same direction after collision as it will be elastic collision (KEloss)
A: pf = mu
B: mu/3
C and D are not elastic collision. Ignore them. Answer is A
how did you calculate? when do we have to subtract the speeds and when add?

b)
A telescope gives a clear view of a distant object when the angular displacement between the
edges of the object is at least 9.7 × 10^−6 rad.
(i)
The Moon is approximately 3.8 × 10^5
km from Earth.
Estimate the minimum diameter of a circular crater on the Moon’s surface that can be
seen using the telescope.

someone explain this to me please! thanks! i dont get it why is the diameter r times theta here as i thought that is for arc length..? :(

In a perfectly elastic collisons, we always add the speeds if objects are travelling in OPPOSITE directions and subtract when they are in SAME direction. It's the opposite of the usual rule plus KE has to be conserved in elastic collisons. And for this question :
Intial momemtum= 2mu+(-mu) = mu
Final momentum= 2mu/3+ (-5mu/3)
thus Pi=Pf = mu=mu It's just the signs that confuse people. Hope you got it. =)

the ans to this should be B, no? :/

When you stretch a spring, we do work. If we then release the spring, some of the energy is recovered. Some is lost. When they say " net " work done, they're talking about the total work done.

The arrows going up signify that the spring is being loaded, and thus we call it the loading phase. The arrow that's going down is when the spring is released, it's now compressing. This is called the unloading phase. The area which is X and Y, is commonly known as " Hysteresis ".

Hysteresis is basically the energy lost during the stretching and releasing. This leaves us with Z, which is said to be the net work done.

My advice to you would be to think that whatever is outside that area of hysteresis, is the net work done. Hope that helps ^_^

But what I thought was; they are saying NET work done ON the sample .. doesn't that mean work done by stretching a spring (or work done by us). Had they asked Net Work Done BY THE SAMPLE, Z should have been the answer?:rolleyes:

I think a hint lies within the word " net ". From what I know, net and resultant are one of the same. For example, when 3 N acts to the left and 4 N to the right, they say the net force/resultant force acting is 1 N to the right... Which leads me to believe that when they say net work done, they're referring to work done despite the energy lost due to hysteresis..

Also work done by the sample is completely irrelevant because it cannot stretch nor compress itself without some external force being applied.

I think the best way to think of it is the resultant amount of elastic strain energy after recovery. ( Work done and elastic strain energy are also one of the same )

Hi, does anyone know how to solve this? How do you know which forces are going to the clockwise and the anti clockwise direction?? Please help :( Thank you!!!Screen Shot 2015-04-04 at 11.09.04 AM.png
