well either youre not remembering properly or your teacher is wrong Kelvy, 6 is D. B would be true if the vehicle was travelling at a constant speed, not a constant acceleration is is the case here

it would be A if at constant speed...

 

[Kelvy]

MMm........i dunno then, i'll jus wait for some ruse guy to speak up

 

[Shimtek]

8/sqrt(1-0.6²)

gives B

shit... i made the 0.6^2 magically turn into plain 0.6.......

but isnt it v^2/c^2 which is 0.6c^2\c^2 which is just 0.6

SO ITS 1-0.6 with no ^2

 

[eska]

wat question 6 is c?!!

 

[The Bograt]

I asked the guy first in our year, he said 6 was A, but I told him how I did it, and he said B was right. It is accelerating away UNIFORMLY, so the line is at a straight slant

 

[grimreaper]

No it wouldnt - remember we're viewing this from the vehicles frame of reference, NOT a stationary point

i got 1b 2a 3d 4b 5a 6d 7a 8 c 9a 10a 11d 12c 13a 14b 15b

No it wouldnt - remember we're viewing this from the vehicles frame of reference, NOT a stationary point

exactly, it shares the motion of the vehicle so in the vehicles frame of reference it definately doesnt move

 

[grimreaper]

but the vehicle isnt an inertial frame of reference

 

[Kelvy]

Well my teacher jus did the paper and he agreed with me and got B for question 6 :S I dunno, its VERY confusing......stupid physics

so is the answer to 6 b c or d

Thats reassuring, I really hope it isn't D since I changed my answer from D to B.

 

[Kelvy]

Hey Sharon,

Ok, im not gonna open my big mouth anymore! I put B, and Im stuck with it!

 

[ahvan]

I got B for q6.....

 

[Kelvy]

sorry sorry......my vow only lasted a few seconds. The dux of my year LAURIE (the 4u maths Laurie) got B, as did nearly every tech in my yr so im feeling better......

EDIT: my bad i misread the question

 

[shazzam]

Haha that's ok, but perhaps Laurie could explain why he got B, I am interested to know...

 

[grimreaper]

I'd be very surprised if 6 was B - how could it be in an accelerating frame of reference?

4a

You got your Mo and Mt mixed up, as an object accelerates its mass increases, but your answer was less than the original mass. i got (B)
