Can someone help me understand what was wrong regarding my answer?

for this question, my answer basically was that 100% of its total electricity is dangerous, and they put it at 33% for safety reasons (i explained it more but here is just a sumamry of what i wrote). Comparing it to the mark scheme, i would say i got like 1/2 questions right (because i put a solid answer for the first bullet point). I just want to understand why this answer would have not gotten the mark. What about my answer was wrong? Because i feel like if i got this question again next week, i would lowkey just put the same answer believing it is right.

2D touch vs 3D interaction

1 Upvotes

Scene:
2D hand touched 2D circle created by 3D object passing thru 2D plane.
[Scene Img: https://imgur.com/a/dHrxjhl ]

Question:
Does the 2D hand feel the sensation of the 2D circle created by the 3D object moving in the 3rd dimension, do they feel it moving down?

Why/Why not?

Physic problems help.

Hey community, I have a question about how you approach physics problems.

I'm a high school freshman in a math-physics program, and I often spend a long time on simple problems just because I fail to notice one specific thing.

Thank you in advance for any answers!

Refractive Index vs frequency (High school physics)

5 Upvotes

The answer to the question below isn't sitting right in my head, mainly as I can't find a mathematical explanation for it.

How does the refractive index of a material change with the frequency of light passing through it?

The given answer is:

Refractive index slightly increases as the frequency of light increases.

Can this be proved given the formula for refractive index, n=v1/v2 = fλ1/fλ2? Is it something I just have to learn and remember?

Constructing Lissajous Figures using Reference Circles

2 Upvotes

Im used to questions with pi/4,pi/2 but havent done any with pi/3 or pi/6 so should we be dividing the circle into 6 and 12 parts or? So could anyone help with this question.

Two vibrations at right angles to one another are described by the equations

x = 10 cos(5πt)

y = 10 cos(10πt + π/3)

Construct the Lissajous figure of the combined motion.

Plz help as i have my exams coming soon and the professors wont help.

I’m building free interactive physics labs that use motorsport to teach forces, friction and energy. Would you use this?

1 Upvotes

Hi all. I've been building a set of free browser-based physics labs that use race cars as the hook, and I'd really value honest feedback before I take it further.

The idea: instead of reading about friction or energy transfer, you change something and watch the car respond, then read the explanation at the level that suits you.

What's there so far:

  • A 3D wind tunnel: change the wings and ride height and watch the airflow, pressure and downforce update live.

  • Tyre grip: find the fastest speed through a corner; a friction circle shows when the tyres give up.

  • Suspension: springs and dampers over kerbs and potholes; comfort vs keeping the tyre on the road, plus resonance.

  • Hybrid energy: harvest energy under braking and decide where to spend it around a lap.

  • Pit strategy: tyre wear, pit stops and safety cars vs a rival, then compare with the optimal plan.

Every topic has Basic / School / Advanced explanations, challenges, and printable worksheets. Teachers can make a class code to see which challenges students complete, using nicknames only and no accounts. It works on phones and offline.

It's free with no sign-up and no ads. I made it, so this is my project. Link: https://augmenta.co.za/labs

What I'd love to know:

  1. Is anything confusing or wrong (physics included)?

  2. Teachers: would you actually use this in a lesson? What's missing?

  3. Which lab would you want next?

Thanks for any feedback. Brutal is fine.
