at the highest point, the object has no vertical velocity, but has the same horizontal velocity it had at launch

the initial KE = 1/2 m v^2 (E)

the initial horizontal velocity = v cos 45

at max height, there is no vertical velocity, so the total velocity is the horizontal velocity

therefore the KE at max height is 1/2 m (v cos45)^2 = 1/2 m v^2 0.5 --- which is half the original KE

therefore, ans is A

Hello ppl
Assalamu Alaikum :)
http://onlineexamhelp.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/9702_s13_qp_11.pdf

wat is this K-CAPTURE in Q38 ?
nd i dont get 39 :/
plz someone explain :)
K-capture is the opposite of beta-emission.
Beta-emission = one neutron turns into a proton and an electron. Result = proton number increases, atomic mass remains the same.
K-capture = electron combines with a proton and forms a neutron. Result = proton number decreases, atomic mass remains the same.

Thankyew soo much :)

Thanks :)

but how do u know proton number decreases by 1 ? :/
idk wth is wrong wid me...i got it when i did it before but now m not :(
Yeah it happens always during exams that your brain just stops! :p :(
So basically it absorbs an electron right.
So an electron is negatively charged.
The nucleus has 28 protons = 28+ charge
If it absorbs one -1 charge then the charge will be 28 - 1 = 27+ charge :)

This should help you realise it's dcos(Θ)

As for the square wave question, I'm not sure but is it D?

There are 5 antinodes given. That represents 2 wavelengths..

2*wavelength = 293 - 14 = 279mm.
wavelength = 279mm/2 = 139.5mm = 0.1395m

f = v/wavelength = 3.0x10^8m/s / 0.1395m = 2.2GHz
Thanks a lot ^.^

Btw,the ans to that ques is B ( I thought D too).. I'm attaching the screenshot of Examiner report .. see if it makes sense to you :) if it does then explain me too
