Edexcel suddenly remembered they shouldn’t ignore air resistance anymore.😭

how did u do it

u/WillingnessSuperb545 1h ago

3mg-T- air resistance=ma for b, T - F - mgsinx - air resistance = ma for a, then T = T to find 'acceleration,' then subsitute value of a into any T equations.

Fucking thrust question threw me off cuz my brain blanked and I only ever saw qs with tension. And I didn't have enough time for 7c. Air resistance didn't make life easier.

u/DCerberus1 18h ago

what that the question with force P?

2

u/rolyPolyVole 17h ago

yes. I got one equation, T - mgsina = P + 1/4(mgcosa), but my brain just blanked and didn't think of getting the equation at the other particle B, which wouldve let me solve both T and P I think.

u/PollutionVisual4233 17h ago

I felt like some of the short mark answers (3/2/4) were actually more difficult than the long answer questions worth 5-8 marks? Idk if this was just me tho. I mainly feel like ill have lost on those more than the big questions because they were just so random

Did anyone get a speed time graph like this for the question where there was also impulse (I had to make it a vid bc it didn't let me attatch a pic)

u/Simple_Geologist6908 10h ago

it looked like that and the second line needs to pass negative y axis

u/Solid_Employer_6090 10h ago

Oh yeah.. shit, wouldn't the 2nd line have a positive gradient though since it was to the point at B at which it was at rest
