Explain the forces involved in a pendulum set up.

Just as the pendulum is released, the pendulum ball is at its maximum acceleration. The force due to gravity (weight) is acting vertically downwards, giving it a force component acting perpendicular to th...

Why do I keep losing marks on 6 markers?

My best tips for you are: 1.) make sure you have 6 DIFFERENT points; a good way to keep each point clear is to write in bullet points instead of paragraphs (you can always write more than 6 if you think t...

Derive an expression for wave speed in terms of wavelength and frequency.

The general expression for speed is speed=distance/time.The wavelength (lambda) of a wave is the distance between one point on an oscillation to the exact same point on the next oscillation, or more simpl...

How do I derive Kepler's 3rd law using Newton's Law of gravitation, in the case of a circular orbit?

Kepler's 3rd law states that the cube of the radius, r from a planet is directly proportional to the square of the orbital period around it, T: r3 ∝ T2 (this is the result we want!)<...

Given the rate of thermal energy transfer is 2.7kW, the volume of the water tank is 4.5m^3, the water is at a temperature of 28oC, density of water is 1000kgm-3 & c=4200Jkg-1K-1. Calculate the rise in water temperature that the heater could produce in 1hr

The equations needed to solve this problem are outlined below. E = mc(T2 - T1) d = m/v P = E/tYou first need to work out the mass of the water. m = 1000 x 4.5 = 4500kg You then need ...
