why is it a parabolic path rather than a linear?

I related it to Thompson's charge to mass ratio and said that the force due to electric field equals centripetal force on the electrons....

 

[Sarthakgarg]

Someone post the MCQ's pls....

 

[malcolm21]

it was like a table and it said choose the correct contribution of einsten and planck to quantum theory or something

a

btw, did anyone talk about the circuit not being closed in the electron deflection one? I dont know if thats right

 

[Sarthakgarg]

a

I agree

I hated that last space question. Screwed me over so much. Probably got 2/6 for that. And Probs lost 3 marks on the super conductor. Gahhh how does one get the velocity of the electron?!?!? Idk. It was ok, but on the harder part of 'ok'. I guess I should be relieved that HSC is over for me

use the force from part a to find the acceleration, then plug acceleration into v^2=u^2+2as

But doesn't that only apply for projectile motion. Wasn't the electron going straight to the right?

i used the force to find WORK

W=Fs

then equated this value to kinetic energy: E=1/2mv^2

to find velocity

yep did that too, is it right tho? do you remember your answer

 

[HecticLad]

projectile motion uses horizontal and vertical components anyway so its the same thing

it had 5 digits, thats all i remember lmao, possibly starting with a 2

It still applies for things which aren't projectiles, but in this case the electrons have some initial velocity which we don't know.

Best way of doing it I think was using qV=1/2mv^2, answer turned out to be somewhere between 7000 and 8000

i got like 4.7x10^7 m/s

That was pretty tough, and wtf there was only like 10/55 marks worth of space related questions.

[malcolm21]

does anybody know if my reasoning that the electric circuit wasn't closed (that 2 cm gap) means electrons cant be liberated from cathode and accel towards anode? i wrote that + electrons are - charge so its deflecting wrong way

There was heaps of space stuff, what you talking about

 

[sy37]

For the one where you had to sketch a graph of the copper going under the magnet, am I the only one who let the decrease in velocity curve go well throgugh C and back up just before D? Because the end of the copper still touches. I think that might have tricked some people

pretty fucking hard exam imo..averaged 80% in MC for past papers, expecting like 60% here because I was barely sure.....am I the only one who got BARELY like 1-2 D's only?

Some questions were nice, others worded poorly..gg tough exam fuck

 

[astroman]

there was too much of the other topics.

 

[snail489]

I used integration for more than one question LOL i got the answer but do i get marks

heh I did this too to get the velocity of the electron as it reaches anode... pretty sure I got the correct answer but just praying that they don't deduct marks since i literally forgot about using projectile motion formulas
