I personally found it much easier than previous years.
How about you guys?

Based on the syllabus changes, I was expecting a challenging and conceptual paper but instead got a steaming turd.

 

[sourish]

Found the short answer alright, but the mc hard

I also found it easier, band 6 cut off will defininately be higher. What did u guys write for the reason that projectile motion experiment was invalid? I honestly had no clue what to write so I just said that you can’t measure the horizontal displacement coz the starting position is not from the ground and this would affect the result. Would I get any marks for that?

I think it's cause he's only got a ruler for the horizontal and not the vertical.

what graph did everyone draw for the spinning magnet inducing emf? (3 marker)

 

[Stev3n]

did anyone know how to do the 6 marker on transmission lines and houses? I found that one really hard

 

[Drdusk]

what graph did everyone draw for the spinning magnet inducing emf? (3 marker)

It's a normal emf curve except the amplitude and frequency is increasing

 

[Stev3n]

Sin or cos graph?

 

[thejimster_73]

Sin or cos graph?

It starts from stationary so probably sine

 

[sourish]

Damn, I forgot increasing frequency

 

[Powereaper]

For that curve I had increasing amplitude and decreasing period every half-rotation since velocity was increasing

Ah be careful. Period is the time it takes to complete one rotation. Since velocity is increasing this time will be less

What did people do for Wilson's cloud chamber for Y? I put gamma, cause the tracks were not zig-zag

 

[Exp]

I found the mcq very hard- probably list 4+ marks lol.

For Q2Q, what was source X and Y?? I was gonna put alpha radiation for both but it specifically states that they are different types of radiation, so I put:
X as beta
- shorter half life
and Y as alpha
- longer half life

I have no idea if that's correct :/

Does anyone know how many marks the question about the impacts of scientific knowledge and development of technology on use of semiconductors was

If I remember correctly, X was the first, short one and Y was the second, longer one, but anyway maybe it was gamma... but both tracks were straight like a standard alpha path

4

X was alpha because they produce short and thick tracks(hence why it was in bold)
Y was beta as they produce long and thin tracks.

Ok MC sucked
But I expected short answer to be way harder
Option (Quanta) was the best.
