Applied Maths

alan4cult

What are you going covering for this weekend? Really worried about timing myself and its easy to get bogged down in a question. What proofs do we need to know? I know all the moments of inertia proofs but would I need to know the parallel and perpendicular axis theorem?

Anyone got predictions for any specific types of questions that are likely to come up for 1,2,3,4,5 or 10? Majorly ****ting applied maths...

The Wedge with the pulley is due in forces

Its horrible, Its exactly like the wedge question but the pulley always fooks me up.. So many reaction forces!

Well perpendicular is just pythagros and all you're doing with parallel is calling the radius (r - d) and remembering that Sigma.r.dm = 0, so they're not gonna chew up much of your study time if you do them.

I'm trying not to worry about applied maths until after physics. Hope I have enough time... badly need an A1 in this subject and only really know four questions (1, 3, 8, 10). I want to get some serious work done for 4, 5, 7 and 9 next week. Probably just gonna do the last seven years of exams. Should be fine.

I'm not looking at it until after physics (and I have music the day before too), which is a bit crap, as I too would like an A1. Got a B3 in the mocks though, bit of a jump... Though I got A1s in all my summer/christmas tests before that. Damn mocks.

I'd say I'll concentrate primarily on
Projectiles
Collisions
Accelerated Linear Motion
Rigid Body Rotation
Newtons Forces
and Differential Equations

But ideally I'll do all 9 questions (everything but hydrostatics) to be covered the best I can. Statics (q7) have just been screwing me over lately, though, and I've never liked relative velocity (2).

Ye I've been getting A1s and A2s in Applied maths but i got a B1 in the mock. and i took an extra 10 minutes to finish a question on it aswell (i was doing it at home). I really want an A1 in this and i basically have 6 days after French to study Physics Applied Maths and economics. So I'm only gonna have like two days of study for this. I should be okay.

I'll just spend the whole day before doing every difficult question I can. anyone have Ollie Murphy for Ap. Maths?

Im doing applied maths but have done no work in two years. Hardly done any homework either. Plan to study from after physics.
Im screwed

doing 1,2,3,4,5,8,10 with 2 being extra q coz i dont like relative velocity that much bit worried there gonna throw something weird into the popular questions like the shm in 02

Sometimes I hate you guys
Will do it after physics.
Will have a few days to cover it all, have notes and 2 copys filled with answers to help me remember how to do stuff.

It shouldn't be too bad.

What's rigid body rotation like? We didn't do it in class, but I'd like to get as high as possible and I only have 5 decent questions.

I would suggest you focus on the dodgey question then.
Would be better than trying a whole new question at this stage.

It's grand once you know it, but I wouldn't recommend learning it... it's a bit different to the rest of the course in that you're NOT dealing with a point mass, and there's a bunch of proofs to learn. Gotta get your head around it a bit.

Do you need to know the proofs for para and perp axis theroms or just need to know how to state them?
