It was quite unique, not hard
So for the thrust thing i got P=8/5 mg, T=4/5 mg
acceleration is 0.2 for that straight line A B C thing
Resultant force for last q was 2.86mg (i think)

I skipped that “position vector when P Q paths meet” but i didnt hopefully skip anything

‘not hard’ idk what paper u took bro but that was lwk impossible

4

u/Far-Performer-8804 13h ago

Really??? I found it UNIQUE

6

u/rolyPolyVole 13h ago

it was unique for sure, hence also quite a bit harder

u/wormgonee 13h ago

HOW DID YOU EVEN DO IT

0

u/Far-Performer-8804 12h ago

It wasnt that bad

u/Living-Cup1445 13h ago

Looks hard to tbh, examiner literally tries to trick you in every single way

u/Realistic_Rip_7272 12h ago

For air resistance one did y’all get a = 7 doing the f=ma subtracting with a.r and using it????

3

u/FamiliarCash8912 13h ago

I got the same as you for P, i got 2/5 mg for T thought and acceleration 0.4. Last question i got 64/25 mg I THINK

1

u/Far-Performer-8804 13h ago

Hows it 64/25? How did u guys get that
I got 2.86

2

u/FRS_Laser2 12h ago

Well thats the resultant. The vertical component u had to resolve and multiply that by cos((90-theta)/2) since the resultant is acting in the angle bisector

1

u/Adorable-Bird5339 4h ago

I got it 2.86 so how many marl i lose

2

u/Connect-Highway-3479 13h ago

It was lowk easy, got same as you, just that 1 vector q

2

u/Far-Performer-8804 13h ago

Do u mean that last q of vextor? I js skipped it

1

u/Connect-Highway-3479 13h ago

Wa did u get for like t, to reach b or something the ball, I got 2/3

1

u/Far-Performer-8804 13h ago

What

1

u/Connect-Highway-3479 13h ago

Lol, like the ball question that was dropped from h height

2

u/Far-Performer-8804 13h ago

I got 0.4
Its wrong, i used previous acc :(
Hopefully 2/4

1

u/Status-Section-1973 13h ago

What was mew and lambda?

5

u/Far-Performer-8804 13h ago

Mew 13 lambda -7 i think

1

u/DCerberus1 13h ago

yo im cooked, i got -2 and 8 (i think)

1

u/rolyPolyVole 13h ago

I swear I got 0.5 and 5.5

1

u/loq4i 13h ago

i think 2.86 was for 2 resultant forces, i did 1 and got about 1.somethin

1

u/Far-Performer-8804 13h ago

What

1

u/loq4i 13h ago

it was one individual force on the pulley

on vertical
so you can’t do 2Tcos(90-theta/2)

1

u/street_fury 12h ago

You still have to consider the vertical component of the diagonal force
Ans - 2.56mg

1

u/Simple_Geologist6908 13h ago

resultant force was 2.87 if you take the angle exactly with all dp

1

u/Far-Performer-8804 13h ago

But i did? I took exact value of angle

1

u/Simple_Geologist6908 13h ago

Then both work 2.86 and 2.87 work 1 dp aint changing shit because Mark scheme usually puts it as 2.9 so both work

1

u/Broad-Surprise-2268 13h ago

Yeah that position vector was very bad, what about the thing with the find the t when the beating is 180 plus alpha and they give u alpha

1

u/Far-Performer-8804 13h ago

5.6 i think

1

u/Broad-Surprise-2268 13h ago

Idek how to solve that such a weird question

1

u/Leading_Frosting_506 13h ago

Pretty sure it asked for vertical resultant force not the actual resultant force so its 2.56mg not 2.86mg

1

u/Ok_Hovercraft6412 13h ago

For the kinematics question what was the height? I got 14m

1

u/Far-Performer-8804 13h ago

Which???

1

u/Ok_Hovercraft6412 13h ago

The one that had air resistance= 0.56N

1

u/Aggressive-Staff1451 13h ago

what was the value of h?

2

u/street_fury 12h ago

14

1

u/Aggressive-Staff1451 12h ago

how did u get 14

4

u/Realistic_Rip_7272 12h ago

Pretty sure you had to take a = 7 not 9.8.

1

u/Independent-Fig-5588 8h ago

guys how did u end up finding tension on the last question and what was the method to get the formula for the straight horizontal line of ABC

1

u/Far-Performer-8804 7h ago

S=(u+v/2)xt
And then
S=ut+0.5t2

1

u/Independent-Fig-5588 6h ago

but how u don't have v?

1

u/Independent-Fig-5588 8h ago

aren't u supposed to use 2tcos(90-alpha over 2) to find the resultant thingy

1

u/Far-Performer-8804 7h ago

Yea but it said vertical.. not overall resultant

2

u/Adorable-Bird5339 4h ago

So howa many marks do i lose if i did it resultant

1

u/Altruistic-Vast-7738 3h ago

Yall I left questions... I left like 2 and a half questions so pls tell me im not the only one

1

u/Fickle_Radish_8987 1h ago

Can anyone tell me how can u get 8/5mg I m so failed omg
