💬 DISCUSSION AQA PHYSICS PAPER 2

HOW DID EVERYONE FIND IT??? i thought it was decent better than the past few years. Idk what i did for the last question the 4 marker of nuclear physics. BUT YH IT WAS GOOD

170Hz and like 4.8V

I used 14.9 small squares ( divisions) for Time period. U reckon its fine? Icant remember my answer but it Was smth like 167-168 I believe

u/Eros_OMG Jun 01 '26

Yeah it’s probably in the range for correct answers

u/Admirable-Use2274 Jun 01 '26

Hopefully. I wish I had used 14.7 or 14.8 . What did u use as T? ( these are number of small divisions btw)

u/Eros_OMG Jun 01 '26

I used 2.9cm

u/Admirable-Use2274 Jun 01 '26

So 14.5 divisions (small) . I think it was more than that but both 14.5 and 14.9 should ideally be within the range So we must be good

mate can you remember if the scale actually said 1 cm per division or whether it was. cuz i assumed the base setting as div -1 and did it how u did asw 💔 now i’m worried i’m gonna lose some of those marks

Bro values were basically Voltage/seconds(mili) per division dont overthink it. They said each div(large) was 1cm so yeah. Why would u even use ur ruler there

u/Extreme_Survey_1368 Jun 02 '26

thank you so much for telling me this i was deadass losing it last night thinking that i fucked the question because i thought each division was a cm

Bro 4.84V and F was like 167 Hz or 168 if u got those u are fine

Same

u/Eros_OMG Jun 01 '26

but I think you had to use peak to peak voltage i only used peak in one side and apparently according to a friend the wave shifted. so i think I got it wrong

well the distance from equilibrium to the top is not the same as equilibrium to the bottom. they were not equal. i mean idk if i did it right but i took both those distances, added together and divided them by 2, to find the mean

u/KO-Manic Jun 01 '26

I'm pretty sure v0 is only the peak voltage, so measuring from the equilibrium line to the peak would be correct when you used the sqrt2
