Thanks a lot ^.^

Btw,the ans to that ques is B ( I thought D too).. I'm attaching the screenshot of Examiner report .. see if it makes sense to you :) if it does then explain me too
Ah I misread that question. I thought it was asking what the displacement graph would look like 4 seconds later. But rather, what they're asking is about how the point X on the far right of the diagram given would move over the course of the next 4 seconds. We know that the wave will travel 4 metres in 1 second.
At t=1:

The pulse will move like this. This explains why the point X remains stationary from t=0 to t=1.
As the wave continues traveling to the right now, you must imagine how X will move. It will move down, then up all the way, then back down. I'm sorry if this didn't make sense but I don't know how to explain the moving image I have in my mind :(
This leaves only A and B as choices. A is moving too slow, by t=2, the pulse would have long disappeared on the right.

I get it a bit:D, What I still don't get is why wud the pattern be like up down down up.. :p but it s okay thanks a lot ! :)

How??
Resolve the Tension of the string perpendicular to the weight= Tcos30=0.15 T=0.1732N
Now resolve the tension of the string horizontal to the air flow= 0.1732* sin30= 0.087N

Look the question has itself given you the answer "constant velocity" What does this mean? Forces are at equilibrium or are balanced thus look for such a diagram which would follow the course of a complete triangle. Look at the arrows. Every arrow should lead to a complete triangle. Idk how to explain it but thats the best I could do. :/

Current is unchanged because it's connected with the fixed resistor which will have a different reading as compared to the one with the variable one as they're connected in parallel and the reading of the voltmeter decreases because there's an increase in resisitance leading to a decrease in the current in this part of the circuit. thus reducing the Pd as well.
Please could you explain why the current is unchaged though as I don't understand that one? Like the total resistance of the circuit decreases, so the current increases. The ratio of the resistances at the junction would increase so more current would flow to the fixed resistor at the top so shouldn't ammeter reading increase?
But then why is it unchanged?

Just asking, How do you guys post the screenshot thingy? I don't usually get answers if I post the whole paper and ask for a certain question. :(:mad::confused:
Either use the snipping tool if you have on your laptop. Using that it automatically copies the image that you have cropped and then past it on here.
Or if you don't have the tool then just take a screenshot of the question you want and paste it here :)

First find the resistance of the 2 wires: Resistance is 0.005 ohm per m, the length of a wire is 800m
R for 1 wire= 800*0.005=4 ohm
Total R for cable (2 wires)= 4*2=8
Current in circuit= 0.6A
PD across cable= 0.6*8=4.8
Emf= 4.8+16=20.4V
Thanks a lot guys. :)
