u may b asked to find the *number* of moles ..... so we hv to ultiply with this avagadro
constant (6.02*10^23)
as, by definition : mole is the amount containing a no. of particles equal to avagadro constant
ok, so this equation is just the mean kinetic energy for one particle?

Q3(b)
the 12 and 2.5 N blocks exert clockwise moment. sack exerts clockwise moment. for them to be in equilibrium the sum of anticlockwise moment = sum of clockwise moment
12N * 84 cm + 2.5 N * 72 cm = W * 4.8 cm
4.8W=1188Ncm
W=1188/4.8=247.5N
the balance will be imprecise because the length of sliding of masses would be very small so there will be large uncertainty in the length.

q7(b)
the combined resistance of 5000 and thermister will decrease because at high temperature the resistance of thermistor decrease.
the p.d across the 5000 and thermistor will decrease.
by potential divider formula, the p.d across 2000 will increase.
volt meter shows the p.d across 2000 resistor.
so volt meter reading increase.
let R be resistance of 5000 resistor plus thermistor
so 2000/(2000+R) * 6=3.6 V [this is potential divider formula]
solve for R, R=1333 ohm
but R is combined resistance of thermistor and 500 resistor
so 1/R = 1/5000 + 1/Rt
Rt = 1820 ohm

Q4(c)
at lowest frequency the wavelength = 4 L
speed = F λ
so F=speed/λ
F=330/4L = 330/4(0.45m)=183Hz
Q5(b)(ii)
no calculations are required but it is visible from graph that the strain after the limit of proportionality is 3.5 so the same will be final strain after unloading.

the markscheme says this mark was cancelled because the inconsistency of power of ten. i assume that they meant 2.5X10^8 not 6

Lets start waves ;)
