SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on clarifying the reasoning behind selecting the time value of ##t=2.15## as the solution for part (f) of a problem involving two time values, ##t=2.79## and ##t=2.15##. Participants confirm that both values satisfy part (e) of the problem, but the mark scheme specifies ##2.15## as the correct answer for part (f). The key issue is determining which time value is first in the context of the problem.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of time value analysis in mathematical problems
  • Familiarity with problem-solving techniques in physics or mathematics
  • Knowledge of interpreting mark schemes in academic assessments
  • Basic algebra for substituting values into equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the principles of time value analysis in mathematical contexts
  • Study the specific problem-solving techniques used in physics
  • Examine how to interpret and apply mark schemes effectively
  • Practice substituting values in equations to verify solutions
USEFUL FOR

Students studying physics or mathematics, educators preparing assessments, and anyone seeking to improve their problem-solving skills in time value analysis.

i need clarity on part (f) only...we have two values for ##t## i.e ## t=2.79## and ##t=2.15##, ...the mark scheme says solution is:

why ##2.15## only, i have tried substituting the two values back into the problem and they both satisfy part ##e##
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I need help on part ##f## only.
 
Which of the two time values that you got is first?
