Was not expecting such a tough exam after all the relatively straight forward ones in other subjects. MC was quite tough idk how i went there. Option (medical) was straightforward, core had some tough questions but hoping to have got through most of them correctly.

That was the best exam ever zzz for that velocity question all you need to do is 1/2 at^2 = d

Find t then times a

How did everyone answer the differences in work done by the two change in gravitational potential energy equations?

I just said Model X assumed a value for g at 9.8 which is not always accurate, but both equations gave similar results because Ep = mgh works at this relatively low-value altitude of 300km.

EDIT: What were you expecting to get for physics (raw mark out of 100) before and now?

For explaining why the website was wrong about the electron path, did we only have to say that it would be deflected towards the positive plate rather than negative? or was there more to it. I was really confused cos I didnt think that would be worth 3 marks?

Model x assumes a uniform gravitational field, where acceleration due to gravity is assumed to be constant for every point in Earth's gravitational field (9.8m/s^2)

I calculated the value of g at an altitude of 200km above the Earth's surface using g = GM/r^2 which turned out to be around 9.2m/s^2 and stated that a 0.6m/s^2 difference is relatively small thus would not alter the values greatly

I also said that the value for g was an average in model x, but I think I also said that in model Y, the radius of Earth was assumed to be average as well, as when the Earth spins it bulges at the Equator and flattens at the poles. I said they give similar results because in both cases, Ep relates to work done at the low altitude....
