Can anyone draw b(i) and b(ii) for me?

Thanks

I have one question related to Dynamics. Suppose you throw a ball at an angle in air, or release it from rest so it falls under free-fall or you throw the ball upwards, there can be only 2 forces acting (air resistance and weight) on the ball?

Is there no type of applied force there in the downward direction which opposes air resistance when you throw and release the ball in the downward direction from top?


And an applied force in the direction of the object similarly which opposes air resistance in the case it is released at an angle? And even when you throw an object upwards, there is no applied force in the upward direction, but only weight and air resistance acting on the object?

(By applied force I mean the force along the direction in which the object is travelling.)

You are right that there are only 2 forces acting on the ball in any case i.e. the weight of the ball and air resistance. The weight ALWAYS acts downwards but air resistance acts in the OPPOSITE direction of the ball's motion.
When you release it from a point above ground, the ball moves downwards so the air resistance acts upwards and weight downwards.
When it is thrown upwards, both the weight and air resistance act downwards.
When thrown at an angle, weight acts downwards and resistance is changing direction every instant as the ball changes direction.

somebody pls help me put with this??

(i)
ratio of input to output = (64)(0.21) dB
ratio of output to noise = 25 dB

ratio of input to noise = 25 + 13.44 = 26.88 dB
Normally you would multiply ratios to combine them, but since the decibel is in a logarithmic scale you add the ratios.

(ii)
26.88 = 10 log(P/9.2μ)
P = 4.5x10^-3

Hello, I would like about Q22 in the 9702/11/m/j/18 I want to ask for Why is the question B and not A?

Hi Donenr,

Welcome to XtremePapers Community.

Let us look at the air molecules in their undisturbed positions and compare them as a sound wave passes by.

pm7419x1.JPG

If we plot displacement on the y-axis and distance on the x-axis, we get a sine wave.

If we plot a displacement-time graph for a single particle we see:

pm7419x2.JPG

This is true whether we have a longitudinal or transverse wave.

Hope this answers your question.

From O/N 2017 paper 11
The circuit diagram shows four resistors of different resistances P,Q,R and S connected to a battery. (SEE IMAGE) The voltmeter reading is zero. Which equation is correct?
A) P - Q = R - S
B) P - S = Q - R
C) PQ = RS
D) PS = QR

THANKS FOR THE HELP IN ADVANCE :)

Since V=0 therefore V1=V2.

Since PQ resistor system is essentially a potential divider, we have for V1:

eq_3454_P.png

and similarly for V2:

eq_3453_R.png

Since V=0 therefore V1=V2. Substituting V1 and V2 gives us:

eq_3455_PR.png

And equating these gives us:

eq_3456_PSQR.png

Hope this helps. :)
