can anybody plzzzzz tell about what is mechanical work and mechanical energy

I don't get why is the force P acting specifically in this angle. Why can't the answer be A? Can someone explain it diagrammaticaly please? http://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/...nd AS Level/Physics (9702)/9702_s12_qp_12.pdf

4 th question?

And in question 22, why don't we find the denisty of a single atom?

14th

Lemme explain. At instance of release, it begins to slide.
Question mentioned that the wall is rough and ground is frictionless

thanks for the link....it helped a lot

It is not required. Just get the volume (of whole square) and cube root it.

Q1(a), why does the marking scheme say' The wire returns to its original length and not shape.. Why not shape?
5 a Why is it important for the waves to be unpolarised or have same direction of polarisation?
5d what will be the difference in the effect of reducing the gap between the slits and making them narrower?
3a Why can't we mention here about the ball reachint terminal velocity and then the conversion of GPE to Thermal energy only?
4c how do we know if the temperature is kept constant for the gas? :/ ( this is the answer given in the Marking scheme)


Please Do answer!
Jazak Allah

X and Y have equal amplitude and displacement no? :/

 

[The Godfather]

X and Y have equal amplitude and displacement no? :/View attachment 51330

Amplutidue = Maxm displacement. Here x and y are not at its maxm displacemets so it is not the same amplitudes but the same displacements. And answer should be B because wavelengeth is the smallest distance b/w two consecutive crest or through.
Do temme if m wrong.

1a) You should prefer the word length instead shape. As its defination says extended elasctisity is when the load is removed the material should gain its orignal length.
5) Yet not done in our syllabus. Sorry.
3a)Question asks for energy conversions, "State and explain the energy conversions that occur as the object falls."
4c)K.E is directly proportional to the temprature.

But why not? I don't get that we are supposed to find the value of a single atom so why do we conside rthe density of the whole crystal??

There's no paper of MJ11 paper 13??

I don't get this question!!! question 14. WHY are we taking the back wheel specifically as the pivot? Why can't we take X as the pivot since the weight is hitched to the cab at X????

You can consider about any point unles they have asked you to consider any point as pivot.
Read the question "What is the upward force exerted by the cab on the trailer at X?"
Pivot is taken as the end of trailor and then since resultant moment =0,y is taken as the force we need to find
anticlockwise=clockwise
y x 20m=30000N x 20
so y(force)=15000N

Of the same paper can you check question 38? I don't get why do we use the potential divider equ and WHEN do we need to use it??

Question 6 ,20, 38 any one? ;/

can someone explain y the right answer is not C instead of B
