Hi , I m greg, i am having problems with the paper 5 design experiment section. Its like when i see the question, i am totally blank i can't predict which apparatus suitable for the experiment and my exams will be in 2 days time...Is there any tips and tricks for the experiment planning section?..Any physics expert have any solution to this problem? HELP!

Perhaps you could start of by memorizing the experiments you do during tutorials. Its also always the best to start off by practicing a lot on practice papers. Get past yr exam question and practise them again and again.

Before entering the examination hall. Make sure u know all the steps to take by heart. Take also what u learn from theory to assist you to using the correct apparatus and sorts.

Note: Exams are just there to gauge how much you have learn and not there to kill you. Remember, whatever ur lecturer says is very important. They know exactly what is required for you to score well, make sure you make good use of them.
 
OCR exams tend to be tricky and uve got only 2 days u say ... well there's not much hope for u there to "learn" how to do Paper 5 ...

Check out mark schemes and stuff ... memorize that ... and keep ur calm in the examination hall ... isn't OCR paper 5 planning and design ??
 
ya its planning and design...okie okie i ll try off think of sumthing.. what i am worried is when i c the design part i can't think of what apparatus to used? i see the marking scheme b4 but sum parts its hard to understand :confused:
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
