Constant acceleration Formulae
20 of 44
State the wave equation..
speed = wavelength x frequency

Resolving Vectors into vertical and horizontal components also involves trigonometry. What is the general formula for resolving Vector (V) horizontally? !!When θ (theta) is the angle in between the Vector V and the component you are finding!!
V (x) = V sin θ
22 of 44
Same as above, but what is the vertical component of Vector V?
V(y) = V sin θ
23 of 44
A couple is a pair of equal forces, acting in opposite directions the turning force produced by a couple is usually called Torque.. how is this calculated?
Torque of a couple = Size of one of the forces x Perpendicular distance between the forces
24 of 44
Can a polarised wave only oscillate in one direction..?
Yes
25 of 44
Make a the subject of this equation. v = u + at
a = (v - u) / t
26 of 44
This causes interference, but can the interference be constructive as well as destructive
Yes
27 of 44
remember Youngs double slit experiment, including examples with both single slits and double slits.. also , what is the formula for fringe spacing
X = (Distance from slits to screen/wavelength) / distance between slits
28 of 44
State newtons 2nd law
F = M A
29 of 44
When a graph of force against extension is plotted, with force on the y axis and extension on the x... what does the area under the graph represent.
Elastic Strain Energy
30 of 44
As you move out from the centre of the screen the light fringes get....
Brighter
31 of 44
Use Suvat's to determine the acceleration and displacement of a toy boat, travelling for 5s, starting at 0.5m/s and finishing at 3.8m/s.
Acc = 0.66 Disp = 10.75m
32 of 44
When an object is in free-fall, what is said to be the only force that is acting upon it?
Gravity
33 of 44
Vertical and Horizontal motions of a projectile are independent?
True
34 of 44
The refractive index of a material tell us how much the material slows down light, name the formula used for refractive index calculations...
1n2 = n2/n1
35 of 44
Snell's Law is used to calculate the refractive index using angles, state Snell's law.. where i is the incident angle and r is the angle of refraction.. n1 is the material light is coming from n2 is the material the light travels into!!
n1 sin i = n2 sin r
36 of 44
Name formula for tensile stress
Stress = force / cross-sectional area
37 of 44
When terminal velocity is reached...
The frictional forces = The driving forces
38 of 44
Work done is another name for Energy transferred, but how is it calculated?
Work Done = force x distance moved
39 of 44
State the two conditions for interference to occur..
2 waves have to have same frequency and wavelength and be in phase
40 of 44
The force applied is not always applied in the direction of motion, what formula is used to allow for this..?
W = Fs cos θ
41 of 44
The equation for calculating power is .. ( can also be expressed as P = force x Velocity) P = FV
Power = work done / time
42 of 44
However, if you are trying to determine the velocity of a curved displacement-time graph at a specific time, how would you do this..?
Just use the formula Average velocity = distance / time

Wow.. really good quiz dude :) thanks a lot

Woo if that was an exam I'd get an A :-) especially as we haven't covered half the sylubus yet I think that's good going :-) Thanks for the quiz! :-)

Pretty good. Quite easy to identify the false answers.

I'd say this is more GCSE level than AS, but then again I'm doing CIE, not OCR.

Some of the answers you said were right im pretty sure were wrong, like for 31. the horizontal component is Vcos(theta), but this didn't get the correct answer so yah :') Otherwise its good methinks

Matty

Report

good stuff, but like ^ this guy says, some answers were (i think) wrong. eg 67 - should be tangent, right?

Toby Gundry-White

Report

Yeah Q67 to find the gradient at a single point you can either draw a tangent, or if it's a uniform curve, you can differentiate it, but in the OCR exam they wouldn't ask for it at a single point, only the average velocity so no problem there. Good quiz though, otherwise. Thanks

qwerty

Report

Not to bad, a few of the q's were pretty long winded, just like this comment LOL :)

Got 100% on the quiz, could jut do to be cut down to about 40q's, although thats just my opinion, Thanks anyway ;) ***

I definitely think some of the questions are wrong, and we haven't covered anything to do with torque, but I found it really useful to see which were my weaker topics...thanks!
